This year, due to my email system being a total and utter pain in the arse, my seat for the race that I have done for the last 7 years was taken up by Martin from Brawn (or Mercedes depending on when you read this). A lovely chap, who still owes me a bacon roll and a coffee!
But, being a committed team member, myself and my neighbour (who introduced me to the event and team) set out on Sunday morning to show our support for the team and to get some pics of the day to add to the event gallery. Team Forum are our boys and girls and we have always taken very great pride in being there for fun and not getting silly about the whole thing. It's a charity event after all!
Plus the fact that it is pretty much a guarantee that our kart will be the most under powered and under steering of the fleet. But it is something that we just accept in the pursuit of fun.
Not expecting to participate, it was a great and welcomed surprise when I was offered a slot by Rooney - our boss... Managing a best time of 44.2 seconds, with our best team time set by Andy at 44.1, with the best lap times of the day in the region of 41.1, it's pretty clear we were totally off the pace.
Now most would say we were just blaming the kart for our lack of lap time when it was in fact our lack of skill. But, given that lap time was set by Andy in a four driver shoot out before the race - oh and the fact that he is the European Karting Champion, I think we are justified in saying our kart was a very real piece of crap...

I love to watch the Karting Challenge. Good to see the Karting Photos in this article. All the Shots taken are really amazing.
