[Auto_enthusiasts] Go Karting event pics

[Carlos Hernandez-Garcia]

Indeed!

It was great (brutal) fun! And dinner afterwards was a great idea too.

Nice list of lesson learned. Also, if one of you expert drivers could give me advice to improve my lap times, like: "You don't have to break in this turn", or "pedal to the metal in this section". I was sliding a lot and lost the car a couple of times on an almost 180 deg spin. Maybe carrying an extra 100 lbs of bricks would have helped me after all, haha!

Adam, don’t say anything yet about F1 Silverstone! I'll watch it on replay later. Yep, no wonder F1 drivers loos 3 kg of body weight every race. 

Here are a few pics. 

Looking forward to go again go-karting!

    Agreed!  Also, if you’re out of shape/sweat a lot, a change of clothes is probably in order(as the pictures clearly show).  Had a blast “racing” in real life for the first time.  Watching the British GP currently, definitely have a newfound appreciation of the effort involved!
