Driving in Turks and Caicos

Actually not so much driving as carting. To give Alex a bit of a treat we went to the local go-cart track. Alex enjoys carting and as soon as he’s in a car has a strong look of determination and focus. He took the person in front on the first corner with a daring overtaking move but after that, he started to hit the sides of the track – very unlike him. Finally, about 1/3 of the way round the first circuit, he crashed big time. Chris belted across the track and helped the poor lad get out of the car and established that the fabric lining of the safety helmet had descended over Alex’s eyes and completely blinded him. Alex was right on the lower edge of the age limit and his head was too small for the helmets – which weren‘t necessarily wonderful anyway. Alex had bruising all over his shoulders and neck and was very shaken up. He’s decided not to become and F1 driver – hopefully not forever.
