To try and keep the boys entertained throughout the school holidays we always try and book up some go-karting for them. For a change we thought it would be good for them to try out the outdoor karting track at Brentwood for the first time. Of course with outdoor karting you have to hope that you pick a good day weather wise as raining just makes it miserable and slippery. Luckily today we got it spot on with the weather.
Brentwood prides itself on being one of the most challenging tracks in the country and is 825m long but more impressively 8m wide so loads of opportunity to overtake. The other big advantage of Brentwood is that both boys can go in the adult 270cc go-karts which are much quicker than anything they have previously driven with the ability to hit 65mph along the back straight!.
Brandon showed his prowess today. He started at the back of the grid and although there was only 3 other drivers it only took him 5 laps to work his way to the front of the pack and then he didn't look back, winning the race and even lapping everyone except Josh.
