There are all sorts of racing games out there, but karting games are few and far between these days. KartSim, recently released for Steam, looks absolutely brilliant however, and appears to have the perfect balance of realism and GTA-style ‘dicking about.’
As well as hardcore racing, the game allows you to walk around the tracks freely and even set up tyre barriers where you want! Just don’t start doing that down your local kart track.
