|---|
| World Kart Meet success this weekend Just a quick message as I won't go into too much detail lol.. I have 9 of the karters here with me as I am doing this update so I am watching and playing a lot of games with the karters. So far it has been a lot of fun and big thankyou to Tom Gaffikin for helping to organise the venue on Saturday 8th and to Jason Mathoora and Matthew McCarthy for all their help in touring the karters around London and organising the football game we had and arranging for a pub to watch the cup final today. Big thanks also to all the karters who attended to make this meet a great one. We have had some great races over the past few days, Jason taped some things where he could and did a bit of filming of the karters. Marius Hukkelas also taped some great races so hopefully over the next weeks we can cut some of these. We also had a short visit from Leyla Hasso, no videos though but i think people will post their commentry on the GP I had with her. Pierre also did some fantastic driving with very few errors which was amazing. Anyway, I will leave it to the karters to post their thoughts and experiences of the meet on the Main and French message boards during this week as they return home. Many thanks again to everyone for attending, please visit again soon! New Members Welcome to...
