Apparently my Bro has won some tickets to the Vodafone Lewis Hamilton Karting event thing at Milton Keynes. And he's asked me to use one of them!

Woo Hoo! Just me, Lewis and a billion other winners hehe

If you have never been karting before, then yes, chances are you will spin on the first corner wink

Just don't step on the brakes too hard and you will be fine.

I've been karting before (indoor stuff), but nothing serious just Stag do's / with the lads etc. Probably only 4 or 5 times over 15 years I guess....

I'll be rubbish but loving it! smile

first corner, first time i ever raced outdoor, i accelerated out of the pits and jumped on the brakes in an attempt to get some heat in them. Proceeded to slam into the car infront of me. It takes atleast half a lap to get decent braking performance. BEAR THIS IN MIND!!

And have lots of fun smile

Tempting as it is.... I suspect Red Bull merchandise might be frowned upon!

Is that at the Daytona place?
I've just realised that it's 10 years since I went there last frown
It's a good circuit from what I remember and from their website it looks like they've still got the twin-engined karts there driving

As above, they are not racing. No one will be on the track at the same time as Lewis.

I saw him on tv once, he looked pretty tasty behind the wheel, I wouldn't judge him too much on his Nancy-boy earrings.
