I went to a karting club for the first time in over 10 years!

Me and my wife at Formula Center Helsinki

Last Sunday after the Chinese Grand Prix I had a strong feeling that I must do something I haven't done in a long time. KARTING!

I started driving when I was 7-8 years old and I drove for a junior team / club called Micro Monza. I did that for a few years and then decided to focus on my other hobby - Football (or Soccer as the Americans call it). After this decision I only drove every now and then for fun with friends or relatives.

Later when I was an adult I joined another club called Kart'in Club and drove there until I had to join the marines in 2004. Then I never drove again until last Sunday! The place is called Formula Center.

The feeling to drive after such a long time was unbelievable! My wife also enjoyed it and we decided to come back to Formula Center in the near future. This might be in a few weeks or months but I can't wait that long! I contacted my brother and we decided to go this or next week. He studies to be a car mechanic so he is a great person to bring along. My sister heard that we are planning to go and now she is also joining us. We shall see who is the fastest in the family! :D

I'll post some pictures when we are going (if we take any pics next time).

Tomorrow I will post the Bahrain GP preview. Remember to post your predictions under that post for the PREDICTORS LEAGUE.
