Albert Street, sees patrons paying $3000 to experience trill of driving a Go-kart around the track for about seven minutes and the chance to compete with friends and family. The sturdy karts for adults and young children, have the ability to reach fast speeds which give thrills and spills especially on the sharps turns.
Currently, among some of the racing enthusiasts, the battle is constantly on to see who can register the fastest lap time which sees many persons having more than one attempt.
While the afternoon crowd may build under the sunset, for those who miss that chance, the event runs until 20:00h under lights which in no way hampers visibility.
President of the GMR&SC Raj Boodhoo spoke to this publication and expressed great excitement over the family attraction the facility is having and sees it as an opportunity to harvest new talents for the sport.
“We realise that Karting is the grassroots, it’s where the kids get involved and get a love for the sport and develop their skills,” Boodhoo posited.
President Boodhoo is also planning to launch a Go-Karting championship in the coming weeks. The competition on the track is visible with those who opt to buy their own Karts from the club or have their personal kart.
Even some seasoned motor racers such as Kristian Jeffrey, Matthew Vieira and Stanley and Calvin Ming are at the track in the quest to record some the fastest lap times.
However, it’s not is not all bumper to bumper driving, as for new comers who are simply out for the fun can be a part of less competitive races.
Persons who wish to keep a track of their performances and those of their competitors may download the GT Motorsport app on their smart phones to always be in the loop.
