Lakeside Karting

We haven't been out and about too much this summer holidays because we are saving our money for the forthcoming Florida holiday in 1 weeks time. But we have been trying to go out somewhere as a family each Tuesday. This Tuesday the kids all wanted to go go-karting and as the weather was so nice we decided to book the outdoor track at Lakeside.

Holly is just old enough for the family fun session in the 200cc karts, but I just didn't fancy the risk on Tuesday with it being so close to our holiday. So she went on the smaller kids karts and the two boys both had 30 mins on the 200cc karts.

Brandon absolutely killed it completing 33 laps (2 more than anyone else on the track) and his fasted lap was over 2.5 seconds quicker than anyone else. It is a bit of a shame that karting is so expensive as Brandon has a real talent for driving and this could be something he really excels at.

Josh and Brandon all ready to go racing. Must be hot under them helmets in 3 degree heat.

All the karts lined up in the pits.

Taking the high speed, downhill chicane.

Foot flat to the floor coming down the start/finish straight.

Brandon was absolutely killing it and lapped everyone at least twice (and one of the lads competes in the Brentwood League and is in second place this season!).

More racing action hitting the apex.

Joshua heading down the main straight.

Holly just had the little track for today as I didn't want to risk her on the big karts just yet.

Despite being a little big for these, she still had fun and enjoyed herself.
