The best kart circuit in London?
I am often asked which is the best karting venue in London and, although I am biased, I always answer that the best London go karting circuit is Daytona Sandown Park – in Esher, Surrey. Of course people expect me to pick one of our circuits, but they also question the validity of the the…

Inspire a Generation
So the Olympics went out with a bang last night and we now all wait to see if the Games will create a lasting legacy. Readers of this blog could accuse me of being slightly anti-Olympics as most of my blog posts about London 2012 have focussed on the negatives, but I am pleased to…

The event that cannot be named
As we look forward to a season that is normally associated with sunshine, the capital city of the UK is hosting a rather large sporting event that occurs every four years. As I write this blog, I am not allowed to name the event. I am not even allowed to name the season or the…

In…tuition…
Following the astonishing finish to last week’s US Masters Golf tournament, there has been much discussion over the relative merits of coaching in sport. Bubba Watson – who won the event, his 1st major – is entirely self-taught. He’s never had a lesson in his life and therefore his perception of what’s possible differs from…

Dads and Lads Karting
Since first launching karting for Juniors in about 1995, we are often asked if we will allow mixed age groups on the circuits. Fathers are keen to go racing with their sons, maybe to show them the skills that would have meant that Dad would have been an F1 World Champion if he had had…

Calm Down Dear…
Sat at my desk yesterday afternoon and my mobile phone rang – displaying 0845 603 4494. I answered the phone to be told that the caller was from Esure Insurance and they were calling to let me know about some changes to my insurance policy. I asked them if the call was a sales call…
