TeamSport Go Karting Preston

This place is Masterpiece

First of all, Thank you to Teamsport for inviting us to try out the New Preston Track!

Me and Ami are from Eastleigh. We used Google maps to get there, it said it would take 3hours 45mins. Adding in traffic and driver swap it took us about 5hours. It was easy to find and Google took us straight there. This time we stayed in a Travelodge about 10 mins away from the track. The next day we left at 18.00 and got home at 21.50 so 3hours and 50mins to get home, obviously with clear roads and we didn't stop. All we could talk about on the way home was when we are going again! Yes, it was definitely worth travelling all the way up there to try the track.

The track looked amazing, plenty of space to overtake, the best bit of the whole track is the spiral over the three levels. Full acceleration and slightly turning left, hitting every apex to keep full speed on approaching the hairpin on the top level! The track was a little slippy downstairs but still enjoyable as it made it technical. We started the evening with 67s a lap and we got down to 65 seconds!

A BIG thank you to all the staff here, we had an amazing evening. Adam B, Rachel, Dayle, Jay, Smithy, Frazer, Tommy, Chloe, Aiden, Kez, Olivia, MJ and Rob. The staff were all on the ball, very friendly and extremely helpfully. We got there a little bit early so we could have a good look around the place before we headed out on track.

Rachel who is AGM of Preston. Who we meet before at Liverpool, showed us around the new track and is one of the best host in the company we have meet.

Once everyone had arrived we were introduced to our host for the evening, Tommy! He did a brilliant briefing. He always made sure we were ready and comfortable in our karts. Always ready with our timesheets when we come off track. He liked listening and wanting to learn more from everyone. Tommy was very positive, which is brilliant because everyone in our group was in a great mood! Which helped on track.

Normally a rare opportunity to talk to the mechanics as always busy fixing karts or tinkering away. Smithy and Frazer were really nice and have such a passion for karting. There the best people to talk to because they know exactly how to drive the track. Thank you both for the tips on the track. It really helped get those 65s.

Our quickest lap time! (1st visited) International - Full Track Ami - 70kg - 65.704 James - 112kg - 65.996 Grand Prix - Track 1 Ami - 70kg - 36.509 James - 112kg - 36.764 Le Mans - Track 2 Ami - 70kg - 30.250 James - 112kg - 31.037

We got to meet some the members from Warrington and Leeds. They are all nice, friendly people and quick! We can't wait to join them on their tracks in Grid member events to race them and learn how to get quicker around their tracks. If your down our way, let us know, we are very happy to come on track with any of the members we meet that evening!

We've already started planning on next visit! See you in August 2018!
