I learnt about a new place for Karting - Torq03, situated at Outer Ring Road, Marathalli, Bangalore.
Together with a couple of my friends, we decided to try out our racing skills on a rainy Sunday! We reached the circuit at around 7 PM and even though its was drizzling, we decided to give it a shot. Although the site mentions different variety of Karts, we were only offered the 6bhp ones. The charges are Rs. 150 for 6 laps and the best part is they accept cards.
Each of us paid for 12 laps and decided to finish it in two different sessions. This was the first time I tried karting on 'WET' track and it was one hell of an experience. During the first 6 laps, god knows what happened to my driving. I spun for on almost every lap! This was like Felipe Massa at Silverstone in 2008... With great difficulty I somehow managed to finish my first session and then we evaluated the circuit, which we should have done before the first session.
After a short break, we were back on the slippery tack, but this time I managed only 2 spins during entire 6 laps and also tried some overtaking... And since we were the only ones karting, we tried lapping anti clockwise. No wonder Lewis Hamilton is appreciated for his skill on Wet tracks!
This was definitely one of my best karting experiences!
