Another new circuit to learn.

Covkart winter series is great to learn new circuits because of the 15 minute practice/qualifying session.

 QUALIFYING

 A couple of additional drivers arrived for this round,both looking fast,I find the size of the Karts hard work on my arms.I just about grab pole position(and the bonus points)

RACE

I line up on pole ,the lights go out,and i’m off .I come out  of the first corner in the lead.the red flag comes out and we all stop.someones kart has stalled at the start.We all line up again and wait for the lights.My turn to blow the start and I drop to third,I take second place down the straight to the third corner.I catch first place and just after the start line the leader goes wide,i nip down the inside and take the corner.It took a long time to shake 2nd and 3rd off,but eventually give myself about half a short sthraight lead.After throwing the last race away I settle for a gap and try to maintain It.I come in first but only by a few seconds,And no fastest lap bonus point this time out(only 0.04s seperated the fastest 3)

I now lead the series going into the last round ,but the competition has got tougher.                

I had a good qualifying session in the wet on slicks .I manage to qualify on pole position (and secure a point for pole)
I start the race on pole,have a good start,and gradually pull away.Then disaster on lap 2 ,I catch a rear wheel on some standing water and I’m off . I finish in fourth place for 7 points but I get the bonus point for fastest lap,A few lessons learn’t there(when in the lead pace myself)
Both the bonus points help put me second in the championship,just a single point off the lead 

Covkart is good fun
