I always sucked at driving games. Obviously,I could do the racing, however, I always struggled to understand how on earth it's so difficult to do it really well. I haven't played any racing games for at least 10 years.Darn it,I only drove a real car a few times.Then, a few months ago all my team from work went to do electric Go-Kart. Some of them do drive cars,some did a fair share of Go-Kart driving and etc.I think I was the only one who never did it before. They run the training session on rules and safety.I put my helmet on and I can't even strap it properly.Then I get into the Kart. I'm also the only one who's got this particular colour racing suite,because I'm the biggest one(6.1', 277lbs)...So now the whole thing starts sinking in.All my bravado is gone..How bad will I crash?Will they put my picture of the wall with a title " lamest driver ever"? Oh, and I'm also the first one in the line to start..Darn in..And then it starts.I'm a bit hesitant to push tje pedal completely to the ground because I'm not sure how it'd react. But I feel it.I feel the track,my whole body reacts to every turn and twist.It feels like I'm part of the track itself.I enter high risk high reward mode and push the little thing on four wheels to the limits. I finished 3rd, after my colleague and some lady who was sharing the track with our group. It felt extatic. I told my colleague,who came 2nd,that I think I found my new hobby. Driving in a computer game doesn't give even 2% of what it feels like in a race.
