What time is your session? I think mine is 1 ish

You practiced on the track yet, I did half an hour last sunday, going again this evening, it's quite fun but I know now that I'm nowhere near quick enough to win, still it'll be fun

Vix · 19 Sep 2008 at 10:14

As long as you have fun, and you can say you've been there and done it too

Good luck everyone for this weekend

Mines around 6ish, nope never been there before, just going to have a go and have fun, will go down abit earlier and have a walk around see the layout

Good luck!

Just got back, managed a 35.17 in the qualifying, annoying as I managed 34.49 yesterday afternoon which wouldn't put me (just) into the final. Struggled to find space though in qualifying.

Was good fun though, and definately gonna enter next year as well, and try to do karting more frequently/competitively.

Good luck with yours (Although guessing you'll be there by now

)

Just got back, didnt make it either, I was the same could not find any space in qualifying, 3 of the laps had someone spin in front of me :/ but two guys came past me I suck badly on the slow hairpins lol so knew then even if I got through to the final I would not have won lol, but I managed a low 35 aswell Cant find my sheet :/

Brilliant fun, will get more practice in and have a go next year aswell

tblocksom · 21 Sep 2008 at 21:28

Had my (poor) attempt today and managed to get a time of 26(ish) seconds... only 4 seconds of the fastest lap

Ah well, guess I better stick to armchair supporting

GravyMonster · 22 Sep 2008 at 09:09

Was a little dissapointed I didn't do better - I wished I'd gone to the Heathrow track the week before and done some practising

I think the cut off the the GP in my heat was about a 22.8 and I had a 23.1

Oh well, try again next year.

Skiddley · 22 Sep 2008 at 09:20

I was at LHR in the 11:45 heat. Didn't make it through, had a laugh tho

Damien. · 22 Sep 2008 at 12:06

Went to Heathrow yesterday and raced at 14:45. Trying my very best, all i could set was a 23.1. I'm blaming my kart, i couldn't have tried any harder if i wanted too.

Some pictures. I don't have any internals because the Mrs is a kift hand with the camera.
