Driver notes

Overtaking:
The first hairpin 'Carousel' is probably the best place and the bottom hairpin is also another good place to overtake.
Pro tips:
The last corner is a very easy place to muck up, and so is the double apex so take care, it's also very easy to lose grip on the exit of the carousel because it's quite low speed.
Kart review
Very good, I had a wet set up so it wasn't as fast as normal but it was still good.

Inside Track
Very good track, would definitely recommend, all the staff are really friendly and everything is nice and clean. Very good value for money.
