The Eastleigh Grand Prix

Along with a group from the Wessex TR Register Group, we descended on the indoor kart track in Eastleigh last night:

We provided six of the eight teams racing in "Le Mans" style,although we only ran for 90 minutes, split between our 4 drivers (Jerry, Geoff, Ann and myself). Jerry was our team star, having done a bit of kart racing before. We swapped drivers after 22 minutes.


Surprisingly, what seemed like speeds of 50 mph turned out to be around 28 mph, but the slick tyres and polished track surface made cornering fun.


We came 6th overall out of 8 teams starting.


And the Angouleme trip is now all booked, so roll on September!
