I think the absolute BEST way to learn is the kart tracks and minis. You can run the big tracks, too, with CMRA. You WILL learn to carry cornerspeed on a 7 horsepower mini, I gaurantee it, LOL! It's cheaper, offers the most practice and track time, lower speed get offs when they DO happen, best way to go from all angles. Of course, I started big and worked backwards to figure out how much fun it was.
