Carting 100km/h by the F1 track


We have been talking about going to the Formula 1 track to do some carting for some time already. This Saturday we made it all the way there. It's about a 30 minute ride by subway so it's pretty easy to get to the circuit. The carts here are something different than those indoor tracks. Usually they go around 40-50km/h but these went up to 100km/h and were by far one of the most fun toys I ever tried! Prices were also reasonable, it costs 250 RMB to ride the fastest cart for 1 race. 1 race lasts 8 minutes but trust me that 8 minutes is more than enough because after you drive your arms are shaking and feeling like spaghetti.
There he comes, tight right turn!
YES!! I passed most of the people by 2 laps! Safety first, driving in sandals, shorts, shirt. The safety regulation said "All must wear gloves, rib protection, racing shoes and protective clothes" Well this is China and no one cares :) The only thing I wore was a helmet.
After the race we went to have Teppanyaki in Tairyo which is one of the first Teppanyaki places in Shanghai. For 168 RMB you can eat and drink as much as you want. Beef, Salmon, Pork, Sushi, Beer, Sake etc etc. The chef usually set the dessert on fire and from the pictures it looks like the place blew up. Was hot to sit by the flames!
To flames with the bananas!
Fire...
