Shut up. I'm talking.

On Thursday I get back on a plane to Durban for some more testing. Since I’ve been back I have tried to do as much exercise as possible but my ‘other life’ (read: work) seems to be getting in the way!

This weekend is a regional race event but because it’s the last race before the main African Championship event I expect to see many of my competitors entering this race to do some testing.

In Karting we call it a “Pre-National” because you use the non-championship event to gauge your competition.

On a side not I am excited as I’ve managed to get a GoPro HD Camera (thanks @bernarddeclerk!), so look forward to seeing some rad onboard footage for this site :)

The schedule is basically practice Friday, Saturday and the race taking place Sunday.

The main event consists of a morning practice session, qualifying and then three heats. You earn points depending on which position you finish in each one and then the person with the highest score overall wins the day.

The most important thing this weekend is not to win though, it is purely to see where I stand against the competition. Even though last week went really well it’s nothing like performing when the pressure is on.

This event will be a real acid test. Can’t wait.
