Project Cars will include karting, Bandai Namco has announced, allowing players to race in 125cc shifter karts and 250cc Superkarts.

The latter, Namco says, are capable of speeds of up to 160mph.

“Considered by some as the first step in any serious racer’s career, it can prepare the driver for high-speed wheel-to-wheel racing by helping develop quick reflexes, precise car control, and instinctive decision-making skills,” Namco says, explaining Slightly Mad’s decision to include karts in next year’s racer.

“In addition, it also introduces an awareness of the various tweakable parameters that can potentially improve the competitiveness of the kart (eg.. tire pressure, gearing, chassis stiffness) that will prove invaluable in higher levels of motorsport.”

Project Cars releases on PS4, Xbox One and PC on March 20, and on Wii U later in 2015.
