KartSim Esports Demo Software

I’ve tried a lot of sim racing products over the years, but KartSim stands out by a mile. The attention to detail is ridiculous. From the laser-scanned kart circuits to the way the kart handles through every turn, bump, and braking zone. It genuinely feels like you’re out on track.

Massive respect to the team behind it, clearly built by people who race. I recommend it to anyone serious about sim racing or karting.

Fantastic products and services all round. Looking forward to seeing what they do next.

Overall the kartsim software is very good. Only software that does lidar scanned tracks and up to level kart models. I do like it very much and use it all for time for training. But there are a few nigs here and there
1. Add more kart engines+chassis. Being able to customise between these would be excellent.
2. For the chassis, add different liveries and perhaps official ones if possible
3. Being able to drive with worn tyres from the start of the session. Could be helpful for us brokies that won't always be on new tyres 🤣
4. Have less grip going out the pits starting the session. I find myself having way too much grip even with a very ungrippy track. It's pretty unrealistic. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong
5. Perhaps sell tracks and maybe karts individually. Do something like iRacing where you pay £10-£15 for a individual track instead of spending a lot on a pack with many tracks that I don't really need.

This is all the complaints I can think of. Overall once again very positive and not bad by any means. The work put in this is impressive

I bought the E-Sports version of KartSim for my son to use with his Playseat and steering wheel setup at home, and it's been a really useful tool for him to get familiar with some of the Club100 circuits. While only Whilton Mill and Buckmore Park from the CLub100 Southern Championship are included in this version, there are several other tracks available too—like Larkhall, PFI, Glan Y Gors, Adria, and a few international ones.

It’s worth noting that Whilton Mill hasn’t been updated to reflect the new chicane at the final corner, which is a bit of a shame, but the rest of the layout is spot on. Buckmore Park is also pretty accurate in terms of layout so it still offers good practice value.

The graphics in the E-Sports version are a bit dated in places, but the physics, both for the karts and the tracks, feel solid and realistic. One thing that would really improve the experience is having more kart options. At the moment, it includes Rental Kart, Mini X30 Cadet EU, Senior X30, and KZ Shifter Kart, but not the Club100 Rotax karts, which would be ideal.

I think there’s a real opportunity for KartSim to offer something in between the £40 E-Sports version and the full £500 UK package. Maybe a yearly subscription around £100 that includes all the Club100 tracks and a CLub100 spec kart would be a great middle ground. I’d even consider paying up to £250 for a one-time purchase if it meant having access to everything needed for proper practice.

My son also had the chance to try the full simulator setup at KartSim HQ, and that was a fantastic experience. The coaching he received there really helped him prepare for the season ahead. Definitely something I’d recommend if you get the chance.

Amazing karts, super realistic and is the best game for karting! The physics are very nice too and there’s lots of good karts and tracks to choose from.

Would totally recommend!
