10Speed Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 http://www.formulae.co.nz/ Been here a couple of times and the electric karts aren't as hairdresser as you might think... A1GP: 8 – 20 people * 5 lap warm up * 3 x 10 lap qualifying heats * 1 x 15 lap final for the top 10 drivers * Alternating grid positions, generated by computer for maximum fairness to drivers * Total time approx 50 – 90 mins * $60 per person But open to other suggestions as well... what times/days/dates suit the masses?

Thousand Dollar Supercar Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 I've also been to the electric karts, twice in the last few months. They understeer more than they drift, and they're not the typical rattly rickety fixed-with-a-four-metre-crowbar karts that every other dirty old kart track has. The guys at the electric karts place remind me of OSH, but apparently it's OSH who won't let them increase the speed of their karts - at best the karts are pegged at under half their maximum power. So due to the OSH-ness of the guys and the value of their karts, there's strictly no nudging, and because of this plus the still-not-that-fast speeds and too-short races you can guarantee there'll be no passing without the guy infront screwing up badly. But I'll still go if enough other people are. The Alfa club scored the rounds at this track based on fastest lap time rather than finishing position, which is much better given the difficulty of passing anyone.

rusty260z Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 they are a lot of fun, but supervisiors have way to much control, hit someone is 10 sec penalty which on small track means overtaken by everyone, and if pushing really hard and even bump slightly (but nt loss control etc) the barriers than get 10 sec penalty as well or they reduce your power and cant catch up to person racing, happened to me, put me out of race. like them but dont like the penalty sysytem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10Speed Posted October 20, 2009 Author Share Posted October 20, 2009 I didn't find the passing an issue, at least no more than any other place.... but will happily change locations based on general consensus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG A Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I would be keen on that, I did the karts out at Silverdale last weekend but my big weight slowed them down and my hips are still sore from trying to squeeze into those little seats. Do they have karts for giants? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
