Video: Karting vs. SIM Racing

For years Karting has been considered the best path to becoming a race driver.

But recently top iRacer Max Esterson showed there’s another route.

Switching to cars, he won a Team USA Scholarship and then finished first and second in the world’s two most prestigious Formula Ford races.

Has Sim Racing now become the best way to break into the sport?

In the  latest SAFEisFAST video, Max explains why he thinks so.

And a group of top drivers including IndyCar’s Pato O’Ward and Le Mans winner Loic Duval express their doubts.
