Recommendation for child

[Arron7]

Hi everyone.

So my son has long expressed interest in my car and the rules of the road etc... He was always narrating what cars are doing what, what speed I should be doing etc... So last year I got him a playstation with a steering wheel and pedals so he could have a go, he had Collin McCrae and Grand Tourismo but he was always on Collin McCrae. He just fell in love with rally style racing.
He's also seen me on a go-kart track and loved it and tells us about racing and engine noises a lot.

With all that in mind I thought I'd try and get him more into motorsports, but that's where I need a little help, I know he can't actually race as (as far as I can tell) outside of Legoland you have to be 7 to get in a go-kart, so I thought I'd take him to see an actual race. This is where I need some guidance if you can.

What would be a good introduction to racing? I know he loves rally but that seems pretty dangerous for him and he might also get bored of just watching 1 corner and seeing cars every now and then. I thought about seeing a track event but wasn't sure if there was something people could recommend as a good entry point? Something that can hold his attention?

Some other info: he's 5, he has the attention span of a 5 year old and I live in Grantham but don't consider Caldwell park too far to travel.

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

Amazing, thanks for the replies. I saw the Alan Healy memorial on Caldwell's page but wasn't really sure what it was, now I know it's got the thumbs up as a child's first race event I'll make sure we're there.

Thanks again
