I'd rather they developed the skills to drive, than develop the skills to rely on electronics. I watched young kids kart racing at 6 (well, practicing, anyway, I think the minimum age was 8 to actually compete in sanctioned racing) who could drive circles around most drivers today. Those things didn't have high-tech gadgets on them.
Formula One is fun to watch, but they have had so many cars drop out of races over the course of the season due to electronic and technical glitches, that it's not as fun to watch as a good old-fashioned winged sprint-car on dirt.
It’s great if your kids are/have gone to racing school.
They’ll be among the .05% of the top drivers.
My general comments refer to the masses of inexperienced youts on the road every year.
