Today the boys went go-karting at a place in Delft 15 minutes from home. The place, called Race Planet, has 3 kart tracks spread over 4 floors; hence the karts provided are extra powerful to allow for the many steep ascends. Ish (photo, kart no. 73) did very well and won his race against other kids. The kid’s track is different from the adults but is equally technically challenging. Ish found this place better than the one we usually went to.I did mine two floors below. The track follows a winding route up and down over three floors. The karts are so powerful that it required a lot of braking along the way. Overtaking is quite difficult without shunting your opponents to the side. My best track record was 27.2 seconds, 6th best, after a round of 23. This place looks more professionally run, with track marshals spotted everywhere as apparently lots of collisions and spinning instances happened as you can’t see what’s in front of you until the last moment and a bit of under-braking over the corners easily results in spinning. It costs 15.50 Euro per heat, running every 15 minutes. Looking at the large number of visitors, this place is doing very well.
