I recently visited Kartcircuit Driebergen with a friend to let her experience karting for the first time and get some training for myself.
We started with two heats in karts going around 50 km/h. This allowed us to focus on the fundamentals of karting (racing lines, braking points and smooth steering inputs) After she got comfortable with the basics, we moved on to a faster heat at max 70 km/h.
It was great to see how quickly she improved during the session. Explaining the basics of karting also gave time to think more about the small details that can make a big difference on track.
Overall it was a great day racing, combining some time behind the wheel with helping someone new experience the sport.
