2nd F1 Bloggers and Friends Karting Competition

Anyone for karting?

Alianora from La Canta Magnifica Blog is arranging the 2nd F1 Bloggers and Friends Karting Competition, to be held on Saturday 16th January 2010 in Birmingham, and I am going to be there.

This is just around the corner from the NEC where the Autosport International show is being held and the karting is planned to start as the show closes so that we can enjoy as much of the show as possible.

Here are the details:

Event: 2nd F1 Bloggers and Friends Karting Competition
Date: 16 January 2010 at 6pm (arrive by 5.45pm)
Location: Birmingham – that’s England, not Alabama
Booking deadline: 30 November 2009
Booking and contact details here
Cost: £50

I’ve not driven a kart for about five years so I’m really looking forward to this! There are several confirmed attendees already so we should get some good racing, and if we don’t we’ll at least have a good time trying.

If you can make it, contact Alianora to find out if places are still available.

I’m almost certainly going to the Autosport show on the same day so if I don’t see you at the karting, perhaps I’ll see you there?
