It wasn't to be. We were rubbish. Two of us hadn't driven a kart since last November, two of us had only drive a 2-stroke twice before...so I suppose it was only to be expected that racewear.co.uk racing with midgetmax.com would prop up the rest of the field at Spa. What was particularly disappointing was the distance to the rest of the teams, but even then I suppose giving away 10 - 20kg when there's an uphill hairpin is always going to make it difficult to get on terms.
Top weekend away in Belgium though. Sun shone from breakfast to bedtime, must have been 30 degrees. Spa town is a bit quiet, they roll up the sidewalks at 11:00pm and all the bars shut. Still I do enjoy sitting in the fresh air sipping red wine and it was great while it lasted.
Race Report
Our race strategy was simple: drive as fast as you can. So we did, it just wasn't fast enough! We all circulated within half a second of each other, we had about as many mechanical problems as I would expect of one of my own cars (that's lots then!), and nothing exciting happened. The circuit was testing with a couple of quick corners for us to make up time, and we got p-ed all over. Heigh-ho, serious diet and loads of practice required.
Thanks to john and all the Club 100 team for a great event - here's to being better next time :-)
