Papplewick Go Kart teams race at Goodwood Motor Circuit
Papplewick boys enjoyed an epic day at the famous Goodwood Motor Circuit on 30th June - the 2 electric go-kart teams - The Papplewick Stag Ship and the Papplewick Goblin had a splendid day whilst racing at this prestigious circuit.
Each team of four boys have been busy readying their karts over the past two terms in preparation for their big race day. On the day, all of the boys (and over 90 other karts from other schools) took part in slaloms, drag races, a pit stop challenge and a chicane sprint. The whole day was rounded off with one team member racing in 'The Lap of Champions' where they raced against the clock whilst travelling around the whole Goodwood race circuit.
Although the boys did not win any of their challenges, they certainly did themselves and the school proud, thanks to their super teamwork and desire to give these challenges their all.
Headmaster, Tom Bunbury said “ What a fantastic opportunity for our Kart teams at Papplewick to take part in – the boys work so hard in their preparation and this really was the icing on the cake to take part in a challenge at the prestigious Goodwood Motor circuit – even though they didn’t win the challenges they enjoyed every single second of the day and were proud to take part.”
