You're a boy, and it's fine for you to be better than me. As we all know, girls are rubbish!

Great fun, last time I went was in Leeds for a stag do. There were about 20 of us in a big Le Mans-style endurance race where teams of 3 or 4 rack up as many laps as possible in the time given. Our team won

It is surprisingly physical though, especially when hung over!

Yes being light makes a big difference in the dry, hwoever in the wet a lower center of gravity is needed so the fat boys get their revenge!!!

Soreness karting? Hmmmm, are you sure it wasn't a gay bar you went to?

They do pull your arms, until you work out that it's easier to steer with the throttle.

You've got S2000s, get out & practice more!

Nicolas, you'll find that if you are cornering hard enough the ridgid plastic seat brusies your back. In fact a friend broke a rib karting last year (in fairness he did have a rather nasty accident with half the field )
