IMPORTANT!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

When you are driving with go-kart for the first time:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Your go-kart speed will be reduced for keeping you and others safe and our assets protected.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    If you drive the whole session safely, without ramming the track barriers and other drivers, with proper use of brakes and with enough good lap times your next session will be with full power.<\/span><\/p>\n

    HOW TO DRIVE SAFELY<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    – Start your session with lower speed, try how the go-kart brakes, accelerates and turns<\/span><\/p>\n

    – First few laps go slower and get to know the track and lap by lap add more speed<\/span><\/p>\n

    – Use the brake pedal before the corner and brake when you see that you are too close to a go-kart in front of you!<\/span><\/p>\n

    – Always keep your braking foot ready for emergency braking (in case go-kart in front of you makes mistake)<\/span><\/p>\n

    – Accelerate after the turn<\/span><\/p>\n

    – Keep your both hands on the wheel for the whole time<\/span><\/p>\n

    – Use your arms and force to turn the wheel (without turning the wheel the go-kart will not turn and you will hit the barriers or other go-kart)<\/span><\/p>\n

    – Don\u00b4t make any sudden moves (turn, brake and accelerate smoothly)<\/span><\/p>\n

    – DONT RAM THE BARRIERS OR OTHER GO-KARTS!<\/span><\/p>\n

    – Do not obstruct other drivers from passing.<\/span><\/p>\n

    – In the event of a technical malfunction please drive immediately to the pit or stop and raise your arm! Do not exit the go-kart<\/span><\/p>\n

    – In case you get stuck on the track, raise your arm and wait for help! Do not exit the go-kart<\/span><\/p>\n

    – Slow down before entering pitlane and in the pitlane zone move with walking speed<\/span><\/p>\n

    – Don\u00b4t come out of go-kart until the track instructor gives the permission<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>

    Before heading out to the track, all visitors are required to read our track rules.<\/span><\/h3>\n

    – The race starts at the starting line.<\/span>
