The headline is slightly tongue-in-cheek, but I visited Farnborough TeamSport today with my children, and we had a great experience. I'd slightly forgotten how much fun it can be trying to drive a kart (at relatively low speeds) whilst going around corners trying to find the right balance of power, speed, grip and braking. I know their e-go-karts are not the fastest, but they were honestly a pleasure to drive.

So I was wondering, is there anyone here who has also setup a home sim? I am wondering, if you have a rig with a direct-drive wheel and perhaps a PSVR2 headset, how close can you get to that feeling of balancing the forces that you get when driving a kart?

I'm thinking it won't be anywhere close, but interested to hear if anyone has any experience comparing the two.
