Karting plays an important role in developing drivers skills
many drivers start out racing in karts and progress to formula racing

Karts are very small and light unlike the Formula cars,
so kart drivers are rarely aware of the weight of the kart and how
their driving technique must change in a formula car to start a car cornering earlier for example .
When driving formula cars these become much more important things to consider!
