The school holidays are here and so is the rain, but believe us it’s not all bad news. All this wet weather gives you the perfect excuse to tear up the track at an indoor circuit. So forget about sunshine, there’s far more fun to be had indoors and here’s why indoor karting will save your summer..
You won’t get a soaking
Karting in the rain can be seriously good fun, but even we have to draw the line somewhere. You’ll not only stay nice and dry at an indoor circuit, you’ll also get to race on a much more consistent track, which means faster lap times and a much better chance of securing a place on the podium. Surely that’s got to be better than sliding about in the rain, right?
You’ll get to find out how good you really are
Forget full-throttle straights and sweeping bends, indoor tracks are all about tight technical sectors and heart-racing hairpin bends. You’ll still have plenty of opportunities to get your foot down, but the best drivers make up their time in the corners.
You’ll get to see your mates
Six weeks is far too long to go without seeing your mates, but if you organise a trip to your nearest indoor karting circuit you definitely won’t have to wait that long. Nobody can resist a trip to the track and with the bragging rights on the line your mates will be there in a flash – just make sure you don’t let them win!
You’ll feel like an F1 star
The best F1 drivers have all started their careers in karting and by taking to the track at an indoor circuit you’ll have the perfect opportunity to follow in their footsteps. Sitting just inches off the ground you’re guaranteed to feel like a real F1 star, just make sure you’ve got the speed to match!
You’ll get to unleash your competitive streak
There’s nothing wrong with a bit of friendly competition and indoor karting gives you the perfect opportunity to unleash your competitive streak. Whether you’re racing your mates or competing against complete strangers nothing beats crossing the finish line in first place.
Don’t forget, when the rain does eventually stop there are some brilliant outdoor circuits to visit too. So once you’ve honed your skills at an indoor track, why not find out if you can claim the chequered flag at an outdoor circuit.
