Driving Around In Circles | Motorsport, Racing, and Karting Knowledge
A podcast about racing. This podcast is documenting our journey in motorsport racing. We started kart racing and after one year, we still have more questions than answers. If you are into racing, or are a parent, and have questions, this is the podcast for you. If you don't have questions but still want to hear from other people who share your passion, this is also the podcast for you.

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.
