Mega - but over too Quickly.

[lord summerisle]

well they do manage to streach a meeting over 2 days practice day,

but yes, runs are short - Shelsley is one of the shortest at 23 secs...harewood and loton are about 40/50 secs.

I tried Sprint a few times and next to no time on track compared to how longe you are at the venue - mind you I am not even a fan of Qualifying - Only think that get me EXCITED IS THE WHEEL TO WHEEL RACING....

Yep wheel to wheel @ 140mph in a kart is great fun :-)

Sh*t what track can you get up to those speeds on (shifter kart I presume?).

true... most of the time its 2 practice runs and 2 or 3 timed runs.

but for the specticle of watching 700Bhp single seaters thread their way up the hill on a track thats as wide as the car, with top speeds around 120/130mph, and how close you can get on a hillclimb track - theres no catch fencing and gravel traps getting in your way.

Silverstone :-), first corner is 140 flat for the brave.

0-60 is not 3.5 for the twins... more like 2 seconds..... depending on gears.

Still for F1 like fun you can't beat short tracks in these little monsters

I'm testing at Whilton next week and will post some cam footage, only about 80mph top there tho... Shenington you hit 100 before you brake into the chicane *backwards if you get it wrong*

Bloody hell...

More thrills in that lap than a whole race of F1... I was left breathless after watching that
