Watching it, but I am feeling for the child slightly.

Rowrah....Stevens favorite track. Brings back memories, we had a few wins there, joint lap record for a while, and winner of the open championship in 2008.

Now at PFI, with Fusion, they were the biggest cadet team when we raced, and probably still are. Costs a fortune to race with them.......more than a 311 per season.

Will watch 0-60 with James (or perhaps not?!).
Watched the Elite resto tonight. Very good. Incredible price.

I just watched a bit of it but felt a bit sorry for a couple of the kids, I know to do really well requires total commitment but a couple of them seemed to be driven only by the desire to not let the old man down rather than wanting to do it themselves and they didn't seem to be enjoying it. Maybe if I'd seen it all it might have come across differently?

I had the same take away, apart from the kid who was autistic.
He genuinely seemed to love it and the fact that it brought him out of his shell was just fantastic. The other kids fathers need a swift kick up the arse, my missus would never let me get away with treating my kid like that!

I started watching with the missus and switched off as she was getting more and more wound up at the "Karting Dads" - giving me pointed comments about our lad...

Lovely car. Lovely colour.
Just lovely.
The shed would look great in green.

I loved the line from the old TV advert - "You could even let your wife drive it."
