Gosport is a beautiful place. Okay, I'm kidding. But I do remember having a fab time there as a navy cadet, visiting the submarine base and the submarine museum. If you're not into submarines, It's not an obvious place for a holiday. It does have a TeamSport track though, and it's the venue for the British Indoor Kart Championship (BIKC) regional finals (or at least the regional finals for the Bristol, Crawley, Edmonton and Mitcham venues).
Kate's just finished in P2 for the local BIKC final at Mitcham after some challenging racing (check out the post race interview), and she should be going to Gosport for a regional final. But, she's already booked to go to Greece for an all-inclusive holiday, and I think the lure of free poolside drinks and pizza in the sun is a greater lure than the damp and grey British weather and dull and grey brutal architecture of Gosport. And of course we had booked it well before the BIKC schedule was published.
Of course there's always next year, and at the rate Kate's progressing, we might have to make sure the National finals date is free too!
