I bet you didn't realize you'd be spending a significant amount of time filling in forms during the season? I walk through some of the forms and paperwork you can expect to see throughout the season.

I also am happy to announce that Anouk got her National Karting License so we will be heading to the Nation Karting Championship this week.

Is it a good idea for the parent to get behind the wheel and race from time to time?

With Anouk off on summer holiday, I ventured to the track and did some racing of my own. It got me wondering if I'd recommend that other racer parents do the same. In this episode I way some pros and cons and give my verdict.

When life gives you lemons, buy more? That doesn't sound right but let's go with it. 

This season we've encountered some unexpected costs that I wanted to walk through with you. Ideally this gives you a more realistic idea of how to budget for a season of karting.
