I love go-karting. But not when it comes to getting in your car afterwards, feels well strange and also a little dangerous!

a couple of older blokes i know went go karting and were ramming each other and going crazy, one kart lost a wheel, the guys who run it said they were worse than the gyppos

we have a go-karting track about 20 minutes outside of dubai, and when you're a little bit out of the city there is nothing but pitch black as its just a desert.

mate and 14 others were up there go-karting on an evening, and they had a powercut! there is no lights for a few minutes drive so everything was in darkness.

soon as the lights went out all you heard was a screech of brakes, and when the lights came back on a few minutes later everyone was crashed into tyres etc

I like it but wish the karts were quicker.

I did outdoor karting at Thruxton once....now THAT was fun. 55mph down the back straight into a tight s bend at the bottom...

I also got T boned off the track at about 40mph on another corner....straight into the tyre wall...had a blow out and everything lol

They sent me off to 1st Aid as a precaution....nothing wrong with me but was uber cool.
