Driving for the title

A new outing
The staff association regularly organises a fun outing for colleagues. This time we went to test who is the fastest colleague at Karting Texel . Tom from the technical services department was also present. He has previously worked at the karting track: "Karting is of course great to do and now even more so, it is a bit of a battle against your colleagues to show who is the best."
Karting Texel
Arriving at Karting Texel, the group was divided into smaller groups. "It was soon apparent from the atmosphere that there were a few very fanatical men present. But they soon found out that there were also a few fanatical ladies present," says Wendy from the housekeeping department. After everyone was assigned a heat, the first group could get ready. This started with an instructional video.
After this video, everyone got their own helmet cap & helmet and the riding could begin. While one group pushed the throttle hard, the other groups sat on the sidelines watching, snacks and drinks could be obtained and the standings were kept on the screen inside.
Racing
First of all, a test lap was driven, so everyone could try out the track first. After this lap, the electronic timing was switched on and the (st)driving could begin. "It was fun to drive laps, especially the long part where you could go nice and fast," Lisa from the P&O department enthusiastically shares her experience.
A total of three heats were run, allowing you to compete against other colleagues each time and use other karts to see if they were faster. After a heat, you were given a printout of the results.
Experience
The evening ended with drinks on the terrace where there was a lot of talk about all the experiences. "I thought it was super fun! Everyone participated nicely and driving a kart was nice and fast and challenging! I would definitely recommend this to others," said Lisa from the p&o department. Tom also recommends the kart track: "A lot of things have changed since I worked here. The track is a lot crisper and the karts are all new and even safer."
