Karting Craziness

Our trip to F1 Go-Karting earlier this month gave students the chance to test out their driving skills - and they certainly pushed them to the limit! Divided into three groups of seven drivers, everyone got straight into the action, attempting to set fast qualifying laps to determine their starting grid positions. The Bootham students didn't seem to grasp the concept of 'warm-up laps', or 'safety-first driving' as they accelerated into racing mode from the off. It certainly made for compelling viewing, even if some of the driving verged on unsporting! By the time the races started everyone had good control and it was about vying for those poduim positions. Congratulations to Liam, David and Alex, who came first, second and third respectively in the overall standings - top work from the Lower Senior boys!
