We had a great couple of hours at Surbiton raceway yesterday.

An outdoor kart track with 200cc Biz karts, of varying restriction. The track was a little greasy in places, with just one shallow puddled area, but a very entertaining bit of tarmac.

On exiting the pits you climb to a the highest part of the track over the slightly bumpy crest of turn one, flat out down to turn two and with a little brake dab or just a lift to shift weight and through the esses. A very exciting right, left, right managed with careful rwd throttle control….Then come right to squeeze past the tyre chicane and drift left, before a carefully judged turn into the start finish right left complex. Then a light back end, and careful positioning as you turn past the pit exit right into the climb to turn one, avoiding the moist track on the inside, and keeping a close eye on the huge banking on the left and muddy indistinct bit of tarmac on the exit.
