OcUK Karting Meet - Gathering Interest

As a fellow fatty I asked this question when I went to Crawley a few weeks ago. Apparently it actually makes no difference. Although the weight slows you down up ramps etc you actually end up with the greater traction out of corners etc which means the weight differences generally make no odds. I was disappointed by this too considering my skinny mate had just beaten my fastest laptime by less than 0.1 seconds!

I find this difficult to believe for a multitude of reasons - mainly because I need a feasible reason or five, why my friend who is a couple of stone lighter than me, is considerably faster :p

Maybe it's different comparing indoor and outdoor venues? I was indoor...
 
That's why you hang back for the blue shell :)
I'm down as an interested but it's more pricy than I thought it would be. Might bring a few mates down too. Does Daytona do a thing where you can book the track for however long?
 
40 or Mini Prix would get my vote. Although 50mins in the kart would be pretty exhausting so for the 40 I'd say go for the 15 and then 20min race, it would make it a lot more enjoyable.

40mins will be quite tiring for a competetive event. I'd agree going for shorter times unless everyone feels like testing themselves :)

The organised events are pricier, they do deals every now and then.
I haven't seen them do any track bookings for unlimited times, though I guess you could ask them for a quote. The nearest thing I can think of is their arrive and drive offers
