My First Time

Today I headed over to Shennington Race Circuit to go on a 'Lets Go Karting' race day! I had the time of my life. Unfortunately they had to close half of the circuit for safety reasons as there were not enough marshalls to oversee the whole track. This was the first time I'd ever driven at an outdoor race circuit, ever!

I was driving a Junior Rotax Max, they didn't tell me that it was the fastest kart they owned until I had finished (I am still unsure of whether this is a good or a bad thing?) It was most definitely the fastest kart that I've ever driven - I was overtaking and undertaking other karts, although perhaps I did attempt a few dangerous manoeuvres.

My best time on the circuit today was 44.97 seconds, hopefully I can improve on this when I next race there in February!

Above is a photo of me just after I had finished my first day at Shennington! (By the way, comment on what you think of the suit, personally I think it's quite dashing!)

  1. Personally I think you look a bit like Buzz Lightyear.... That was the look you were going for, right?!
    Do you own your own suit or do they rent it I you at the karting place or something? Do you get to choose, or is it a case of what fits?

  2. Hmmm, not quite...Buzz Lightyear is an old look!
    Currently I don't own my own suit because I've only just started, I rent it off the Karting Company and you get to choose out of what fits you...This one is my favourite though!
