- PISTA Motorsport developer is working on a new karting sim
- Screenshot unveiled for Kart World: The next kart simulator
The makers of Argentine racing sim PISTA Motorsport have revealed a new karting sim project: Kart World.
In a social media post, REG Simulations founder Juan Cruz Gaglio stated, “Something new we are working on”, and shared a screenshot of a kart tyre and engine, apparently taken from real in-game footage.
REG previously included two kart models in PISTA: a rental-style kart and a racier five-speed example. The Buenos Aires-based developer has also worked on a host of Assetto Corsa and Kart Racing Pro karting mods, including both karts and kart tracks.
This puts REG in a prime position to create its own kart sim offshoot, especially as development on KartKraft has ceased, and updates for KRP are few and far between.
Likewise, although KartSim for rFactor 2 continues to receive updates, its full software package is prohibitively expensive, leaving room in the sim racing market for a dedicated title at a more affordable price point.
Scant information is available on Kart World at this stage, but if it follows a similar path to PISTA, it may well end up using the Unity game engine. What we do know is that REG is pitching this as a ‘proper’ simulation of karting, as the game is subtitled ‘The next kart simulator’. Intriguing.
