Am going on an 'expedition' with work later this month....a whole weeks karting at Ancaster raceway, Fasttrack at Hull, North Pickenham and Beccles....

We own (5) Twin engine 200cc Pro karts and take all our own kit with us.....

We are carrying out our scam under the pretense of it being a 'leadership' exercise for the juniors, where i will be assessing their performance as team managers
and the best thing is.......the whole week is costing me £50

well if you need any rent-a-drivers for that real back of the grid team experience, we sold our Pro-Kart a while ago........

Everyone has to do guard old bean, including the boss! Unless you're a civvy.

Unless you're at Colt, the I understand they are hoping most of it gets knicked to help with the move!

I did gouard as an AC, AS an LAC, SAC, then F/O and Flt Lt, I think my face just didnt fit.

I think a weeks karting would cripple you if you have no experience, by day three your muscles will be screaming

Sounds fun though, maybe you could slip a 24 hour race in there somewhere

I dont doubt it but you use different muscles when your karting. When I was doing two championships my neck muscles were huge and my grip was better and forearms were larger
