Staff Go-Karting Day

Gentlemen start your engines......ladies too!

On Sunday 19th November, some of the BeatTheBrochure sales team and management spent an evening go karting.

Days before hand the banter and heckling started on the sales floor, with audacious claims like "I'm related to Lewis Hamilton .." and "I've never go-karted before in my life..."(of course you haven't JP) and so on, with varied side bets also being put into the mix. But this meant absolutely nothing on the day. Petrol, grease and burning rubber was on the menu and it was clear that some had bitten off more than they could chew!

The first few races were exciting and involved several drivers being black flagged, which became the norm for the rest of the day, eventually resulting in several of our drivers being given life term bans from the track.

8 gruelling races and a final later, the titles were taken as follows:

1st - David 'Disqualified' Ox (car no.3) - Worldwide Consulatant
2nd - Daniel 'The Face' Ox (car no.1) - Web Reservations Team
3rd - Jean 'Button' Paul (car no.2) - Web Resrevation Team

A clear agreement was made that Davids' extra 0.5 seconds per lap advantage on everyone else was due to his 9.5 stone body weight, bringing a clear advantage over everyone else. But then again, maybe none of us like to lose.

UNTIL NEXT TIME!
