Yes, the main object is always to enjoy it and have FUN! And you'll have fun no matter what level you are on! As to the racing it takes a lot of practise to become good, so enjoy it all the way!
Unless you're on a very tight budget I'd consider a "full blown" car though. It's for many of us a big part of the hobby to work on these technological marvels. And with the extremely low prices nowadays you might as well go for the real deal.
Good luck!
