点评:My 12 yr old son was really freaking out + some tears about karting as it was quite noisy (indoor+petrol karts= noisy) but after some good advice from the staff we rearranged for a quieter mid week session.
Conversely my 14 yr old son was completely not fussed straight in and didn’t mind being in with more racers however he also said he’d have preferred a quieter sesh, there were 13 racers on the Saturday vs 4 when we went back on a Friday.
Considering the age of the staff they showed great understanding of how overwhelmed my son was and on his return helped support him throughout his karting. He jumped in a dual kart with one of the staff who, on this occasion, did the driving and he just enjoyed the ride - for him this was enough of an experience and he came away absolutely buzzing as they got faster and faster times.
This was the first time he had done any karting and he’s now really keen to come back and give it a go on his own. Karting is imo a really good gateway in to motorsport of any kind and the set up here is great with some great staff who clearly enjoy working here - often an underrated point.
There’s a club racing here too which goes to show how much local engagement there is with lap times up on the wall - loved seeing the staff times up too.
*Do go during the week if you want a quieter session.
*Cafe next door (which also serves the wider industrial estate) has loads of food options.
*dual kart will only likely be available on quieter days as it needs a staff member to drive
*safety vid is quite (rightly) full on but helped explain rules etc
*racing is based around getting better lap times which are printed out for each racer after each 10 min session.
I’m really appreciative of the effort put in by the young lads which will have a positive legacy for my son when he comes back - which we will!
翻译:我12岁的儿子因为卡丁车太吵(室内卡丁车+汽油卡丁车=吵)而非常紧张,甚至哭了好几声。不过,在工作人员的建议下,我们重新安排了一场在周中安静的比赛。
相反,我14岁的儿子一开始就完全不慌乱,也不介意和更多的赛车手一起玩,但他也说他更喜欢安静的比赛。周六有13名赛车手,而周五我们回去的时候只有4名。
考虑到工作人员的年龄,他们非常理解我儿子的不知所措,并在他回来后全程帮助他。他和一位工作人员一起跳了一辆双人卡丁车,这次是工作人员驾驶的,他很享受这次体验——对他来说,这已经是一次足够的体验了,随着他们的速度越来越快,他离开时兴奋不已。
这是他第一次参加卡丁车比赛,现在他非常渴望回来亲自尝试一下。在我看来,卡丁车是进入任何类型赛车运动的绝佳途径,这里的设施非常棒,一些优秀的员工显然很享受在这里工作——这一点经常被低估。
这里还有一个俱乐部赛车场,墙上挂着单圈成绩单,这体现了当地人的参与度——我也很喜欢看到工作人员的成绩单。
*如果您想享受更安静的体验,最好在工作日去。
*隔壁的咖啡馆(也为更广阔的工业区提供服务)有很多餐饮选择。
*双人卡丁车可能只会在比较安静的日子开放,因为它需要工作人员驾驶。
*安全视频内容很丰富(这是理所当然的),但有助于解释规则等。
*比赛的目标是获得更好的单圈成绩,每位选手每10分钟的训练结束后都会打印出成绩单。
我真的很感激这些年轻小伙子们所付出的努力,当我儿子回来时,这将给他留下积极的印象——我们一定会的!
