Pic thanks, but seems one day you can just experience the car not actually gain any skills, and it's 10k.
I think I will put that money into karting instead, thanks for the info KC

Anyone up for karting?

unfortunately thats hk and china, motor sports is expensive. in the uk, 15 yrs ago, it cost around 2k pounds for a weeks course inc a race at the end. I regret that I didnt join one at the time.

how r you doing in kart races so far?

Yeah, its alot cheaper to go for a track day or driving course in the UK.
I am thinking to book a full day training course at the AMG centre (woking)when i back to UK next month, hopefully i am able to drive the SLS at the time

For karting, i nearly able to stand in the podium for the first time in my life 2 months ago, but was crashed heavily in the last round with 8 other karts!

I chased up 7 places from the last and finished at 8th place at the end, my lap time was actually faster than the runner up, but that is motorsport. I had a great time tho and that is the matter!

I have no idea the speed tho, but guess it will be 20km/h +.
20km/h doesnt sound much but when you are sitting on the ground with no protection at all,
its quite something

It actually hurting your neck and your internal organs
