Driver notes

Best overtaking spot:
On the entry to any of the hairpins.

Pro tips:
Take the shortest lines possible, as distance is more important than exit speed for the majority of indoor rental kart circuits.

Kart review:
270cc Sodis are a great choice for a track like this. Adjustable seats mean you can position your weight wherever the lack of grip is most obvious. (I.e. understeer = move your seat forward etc.)

Value for money:
Good.

Inside track

Large Italian restaurant and lots of F1 merchandise to buy in the shops.
