If you really want to know what its like at Formula Kartways, check out the video I made with my friends when we went - http://youtu.be/jxS-SH8S1vY
If you have never been to Formula Kartways or GoKarting, here are a few of my tips to help you have the best time:
- Avoid wearing any loose clothing or jewelry, you don't want anything getting caught while racing
- Don't bring your phone or keys with you while you race, you risk losing it, breaking it, or it digging into you.
- Girls: wear a sports bra or one that doesn't clasp at the back!
- Bring grip gloves for the steering wheel, or ask to borrow a pair
- Take your foot off the gas when rounding the corners for smoother more controlled turns
- Don't follow the person in front of you if you want to overtake them, do the opposite of whatever they do
- It'll probably take you two full laps to figure out the Karts and get used to them
- If your legs aren't too long, you should be able to get a back cushion, which also makes for a more comfortable ride!
- If you have your own motorcycle helmet, you can wear your own (but FK's helmets all looked pretty new-- and some even had GoPro mounts on them!!
- Bring snacks for in between your races, they just have vending machines there. But if you book a group party then you can cater in their large private event room
- If you are sensitive to gas fumes and it really bothers you, bring a facemask
- Make sure you visit with a big group of friends!
