Online Racing Games

Since the early 2000’s online gaming has grown exponentially throughout the world with technology. It has been a catalyst for sports of all kinds to increase followers, fans, and competitive gaming amongst video game advocates. This industry coincides with any sport that warrants a profit from it. In our case, racing, whether it be NASCAR, Indy car, Formula One, etc. Games such as Grand Turismo, Forza, Need for Speed, and others all pull from this massive industry of competitive racing.

As for go karts, it seems to get a bit of a secondary thought. This is due to the industry being smaller comparatively in size to other professional racing markets. However, one of the biggest grossing video games of all time is subsequently a go kart game, Mario Kart. As this game somewhat dwindles down the seriousness of go karting in theory, it still gives life to a sport that is truly for all fans. And more importantly, is the foundation step that most professional racers start in their journey to competitive racing.
