That all depends on what you want out of karting…
Want to truley know / learn how to drive – TaG
Want to look / sound cool, shift gears, spend more, be in the back chasing everybody… Shifter
If you want to do it right – learn how to drive first (not taking anything away from your FF experience), then progress to shifters. TaG is NOT that much slower than shifter, and for a beginner – shifters build bad driving habbits.
I’m one of the guys shifting, in the back, and chasing everybody – look me up this weekend…
