Mark One IT Team Karting Day
by Ben Grave - Thu 12 Sep 2024On Sunday 11th August, the Mark One IT team had a brilliant day out at Haynes Motor Museum Karting for a bit of friendly competition on the karting track. It was an extremely hot day—so full overalls, helmets, and face masks definitely added an extra challenge!
The event was set up as a tournament, starting with a warm-up and fastest lap session. Saul took pole position by setting the fastest lap, with Kye right behind him. The first race was intense, with Kye managing to overtake Saul, but a late incident with Rowan while trying to lap him meant Saul reclaimed the lead and took the win.
The second race was lined up in reverse order, with Saul starting from the back. Kye had a false start that pushed him to the back as well, but he fought his way through the pack to win the race.
In the end, it was Malcolm who took the overall win, thanks to two consistent race performances, just edging out Kye by a single point—something Kye’s still not quite over!
Unfortunately, Jon our MD, had to retire from the race after an injury in the fastest lap session, but he’s just about recovered now! Jon’s retirement was a bitter pill to swallow as he’s performed well, finishing second in the fastest lap session!
After the karting, the team went for a meal and a chance to unwind after a great day. It was a fantastic team-building day with plenty of laughs and some friendly rivalry. Looking forward to the next one!
