PCV Go Karts A Thrilling Night of Racing in Challenging Conditions

Thursday 25th May

The PCV Go Kart Challenge took place on a cold, wet night, adding an extra element of excitement and anticipation to the event. As drivers arrived, there was a palpable energy in the air, mixed with a hint of nervousness as the challenging conditions started playing on everyone’s minds.

After a comprehensive safety briefing, teams of two huddled together, discussing their strategies and contemplating who would kick off the race. The first qualifying session commenced, with drivers cautiously navigating the cold, wet track on cold tyres. The lack of grip became evident as karts struggled to find traction, resulting in challenging corner entries and slippery exits.

Undeterred by the conditions, the drivers adapted and showcased their skills, skillfully maneuvering their karts as they aimed to set the fastest lap times. As both qualifying sessions concluded, the grid was set, with team ‘DGR’ securing pole position, closely trailed by ‘Team Poorsche’ and ‘Low Down Bums.’

The race itself was a rollercoaster of action and drama, with drivers fearlessly pushing their limits, attempting daring overtakes on the slippery corners. Off-track excursions became a common sight as drivers tested their mental strength in the face of the endurance-style race.

Following a quick pit stop mid race, the second drivers took to the track for the final push. Their mission was clear: gain as many positions as possible before the checkered flag. In the end, it was team ‘DGR’ who emerged as the victors, showcasing exceptional skill and determination. ‘Team Cameltoe’ secured an impressive second place, with ‘Di Palmas’ rounding off the podium in a well-deserved third place.

A special mention goes to Ross and Michael from team ‘DGR’ for their outstanding performance, as they both clocked identical fastest lap times of 57.610. Their performance demonstrated the fierce competition and high level of talent present throughout the event.

Congratulations to all the participants for their unwavering enthusiasm and competitive spirit. The PCV Go Kart Challenge was a resounding success despite the challenging weather conditions. We extend our gratitude to everyone involved and eagerly look forward to welcoming familiar faces and new competitors back next year for another thrilling edition of the event.
