Your
group will be picked up outside your hotel
by your Henorita guide, and taken by coach
or minibus to the indoor go-karting track
outside Madrid.
The track is one of the finest you’ll find anywhere, an amazing feat of design, with a full 500m track. The cars can reach 70 kmph and have petrol engines. |
| |
The track includes a starting grid, a long full-throttle section, and numerous hairpins and chicanes. From the upstairs bar you can relax while your guide sorts out the insurance forms and race times.

You’ll need to think of your racing nickname, as this name comes up on the electronic scoreboard once you start racing. Then after a safety briefing, changing into full racing overalls and helmet, and storing your valuables in a secure locker, it’s race time! |
| |
You
file out of the pits area in your 270 cc
kart, and you have 10 minutes of racing to
beat your mates round the track and go all-out
for the fastest track time. (The Henorita
record currently stands at 38.54 seconds).
|
| |
After a break of 10 minutes to rest your arms and
re-hydrate after all that hard cornering,
you’re
back on again for 10 minutes. At the end,
the detailed timesheet printout will show
the winner, and then it’s
presentation time on the podium by the best Hen
or the hen.

For insurance purposes, it’s obligatory to bring your passports, and they won’t let you race with sandals. Also, please do not turn up drunk as you will not be allowed to race - this is an activity that requires quick responses and good judgement. |
