Yeah I've been there before... you go flat out almost all the way round... lots of g-forces.

I went with my fathers work... "Continential VDO" and got 3rd outright
I don't know the name of the package we had but it was $55 and we had a 10 minute practice session followed by a race and then a final.

Sadly the seats/pedals can't be adjusted in the hire karts and last time i was there I couldn't reach the pedals. They gave me a pillow thing to push me foward in the seat but this meant i wasn't IN the seat and had no side bolstering to protect me from the g-forces.

I bruised my ribs and was very sore for weeks.
