What a day Saturday was! Saturday I competed in a 4 hour endurance race with @haase_uk chassis and modernised racing using @rpmracingenginesuk This was a completely different ball game doing long stints hauling around a heavy, twin engined kart with pit stops with my teammates, The stints were physically challenging out on track for an hour and 20 minutes.
