Indoor karting tracks and outdoor karting tracks each have their own strengths.
Indoor karting tracks are obviously more comfortable, after all, they are generally equipped with air conditioning, while outdoor karting tracks are more spacious and allow people to race more freely.
"Let's go to the indoor go-kart track." After thinking for a while, Yukinoshita Yukino said.
Although there are white clouds in the sky blocking the sun now, no one knows when this white cloud will float away.
If you are driving in an outdoor go-kart track and the white clouds happen to drift away, you will have to experience the warmth of the sun.
In comparison, indoor karting tracks at least provide guaranteed comfort and are also safer.
Because the indoor venue is relatively small, the speed of the karts is also limited.
This is more friendly to children, and Shirasaki Hana happens to be an elementary school student.
"You don't have any objections, right?" Yushan Kazuto couldn't help but look at Doma Mai and Shima Rin.
Shima Lin shook her head. She also wanted to experience go-karting.
However, Doma Mai blinked slightly. The last time, she and Touma Sanae sneaked into the Oi Racecourse together, but were discovered and driven out. In fact, they went to the nearby go-kart track for fun.
That time it was in an outdoor field. While driving, Domama was bumped by someone and ended up crashing into the wall.
Although there was no big problem, the incident still left a big shadow on Tsuchiya. But if she has to talk about the experience, Tsuchiya felt that driving a go-kart was still quite fun.
And this time it's an indoor go-kart track, which is different from the last time I went to the go-kart track. Doma Yui still wants to experience it.
"Let's go to the go-kart track." Tsuchima replied.
"Then let's go." Yushan Heren nodded, and without saying much, he walked forward.
Among several destinations, the one that Yushan and others prefer the most is actually the indoor go-kart track.
There is no other reason. The other options are all open-air venues, and just fighting the sun is enough to make people anxious. Only the indoor karting track is located indoors and has air conditioning.
If they really chose to go to the golf course, or Oi Racecourse, Yushan Kazuto might feel a bit of a headache.
……
"Senior Kazuto, do you want to drive over there?" After walking out of Jonanjima Seaside Park and watching Yuyama Kazuto walking towards the parking lot, Tsuchima couldn't help but ask.
"Although it's nearby, it's about kilometers away. Do we want to walk there?" Yushan Heren said.
Hearing this, Tsuchiya couldn't help but pout: "Still... let's drive over there."
The distance of kilometers is not far, but it still takes more than 20 minutes to walk.
That's forty minutes back and forth.
The afternoon time is already a bit tight, and if I waste forty minutes walking, I won’t have any fun.
What's more, in such hot weather, if people walk for dozens of minutes, they will probably get heatstroke.
……
After entering the go-kart track, Yushan Kazuto discovered that there seemed to be more tourists in the go-kart track than he had imagined.
Most of them seem to be college couples. Yushan Kazuto feels that the classmates of Haifeng Koharu that Haifeng Hiyori mentioned before might be among them.
Seeing Yushan and others walking in, a coach took the initiative to come over.
"Hello, are you here to experience go-karting?" the coach asked with a smile.
Yushan Kazuto blinked and showed the two-hour experience voucher in his hand.
You have already bought the tickets, and you are still asking this. Isn't that a bit nonsense?
Looking at Yushan and others' reactions, the coach couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, but he still maintained a relatively proper smile.
"Then may I ask everyone, have you ever experienced go-karting before?"
Except for Shima Rin, everyone else nodded.
Shima Rin couldn't help but blink slightly. She didn't expect that Yushan and the others had all driven go-karts, even Shirasaki Hana had experienced it.
But this is actually normal. There is a go-kart track in Tama, and Hoshino Hinata is a frequent visitor there, so naturally he also took Shirosaki Hana to play together.
Shirasaki Hana has not only driven a go-kart, but can even be considered a veteran.
"Here, let me explain to you some knowledge related to karting and safety issues," said the coach.
Shima Rin couldn't help but blink. Even though she wanted to refuse, she really couldn't help but listen to these things.
"Sorry to bother you, could you please tell us where we can pick up the protective gear?" Seeing that the coach was about to start chattering, Yushan Kazuto had no choice but to ask.
Chapter 2148 Karting Experience
By the time Yushan and the others had put on their protective gear, Shima Rin had basically finished listening to the safety guidelines.
After all, the facilities in indoor karting parks are relatively safe. In fact, there are not many things that require attention. The most important thing is not to drive in the opposite direction.
"Have you ever driven or ridden a car? Even a bicycle is no problem." The coach finally spoke after watching Yushan and others come out.
"I've ridden a motorcycle." Shima Rin replied with a slight blink.
"That's easy. Remember to use your left foot to brake and your right foot to accelerate." said the coach.
Shima Rin nodded. In fact, the basic operation of a go-kart was not much more difficult than riding a motorcycle.
If it was a straddle motorcycle, an additional gear shifting operation would be required, but Shima Rin was riding a scooter, which did not require gear shifting, and a kart also did not require gear shifting.
Shima Rin simulated the connection between the two types of driving in his mind, and then walked into the protective gear room.
A professional karting experience often requires putting on a racing suit, but this is not the case for indoor karting tracks.
After putting on the helmet, shoulder pads and knee pads, you can go on the court.
Those who are a little more particular will wear a pair of gloves to prevent their hands from slipping.
However, most people dare not use the gloves provided by the karting track casually. After all, no one knows how much sweat and salt crystals are deposited in them.
Most people who wear gloves will choose to bring their own gloves. If there is no other way, they have to put on two layers of disposable gloves before putting on karting gloves.
After putting on protective gear and walking to the side of the track, Shima Rin discovered that Yushan and others had not started yet.
Looking at Yushan and the others, Shima Rin couldn't help but blink slightly and move his lips slightly, but in the end he didn't say anything and just sat in his kart.
She knew that Yushan and his friends did not start the car because they were waiting for her, but once this kind of thing was said out loud, it seemed a little weird.
Sitting in the kart and starting the engine, Shima Rin took a deep breath and took the steering wheel.
The karts used in this indoor karting track can actually be started with one button, which surprised Yushan and others.
After all, many karting venues offer experience karts that are started by pulling a rope.
That type of kart is an older model and is relatively cheap.
The price of a kart that can be started with one button is much more expensive.
Thinking of this, the few people's impression of this indoor karting track naturally improved a lot.
"Are you all ready?"
Yushan Kazuto, who was sitting in the last starting position, spoke up.
Several people couldn't help but respond, and Yushan Heren smiled and said, "Then I'll count to three, two, one, and we'll start together."
Tsuchiya and the others couldn't help but hold their breath, gripping the steering wheel tightly with both hands and stepping on the accelerator.
After observing the situation on the track, he found that there were no cars on the straight road closest to the starting lane, so Yushan Kazuto started counting: "Three, two, one, go!"
Everyone reacted quickly, and several karts rushed out in an instant.
Although the horsepower is not as good as the vehicles provided by the outdoor karting track, the feeling of acceleration still gives people a sense of adrenaline rush.
The starting lane accelerated and merged into the main lane, and everyone began to compete silently.
In an indoor karting track, speed is not the king. After all, the maximum speed is basically locked, unless you don't care about your life and forcibly unlock the speed lock.
Technically, it doesn’t help much in terms of speed, as the tracks in indoor karting venues are generally narrow and there isn’t much room for maneuvering.
Of course, this refers to the situation where the technique is relatively proficient. If you are a novice, the impact of technique on lap time is still relatively large.
When speed and technique both have relatively weak influence, tactics becomes the aspect with the greatest impact.
Attack, defense, timing, and overtaking planning are the essence of indoor karting.
Some people only pursue attacking and even turn go-karts into bumper cars. This behavior obviously does not help to speed up.
Of course, some people play go-karts just for fun and to experience the feeling of bumper cars, so there is nothing to blame them for that.
I just hope they don't hurt innocent people. Before, Domama was hit by a bumper car driver and her steering wheel failed. She was scared.
However, in an indoor karting environment, even if Domama encountered a similar collision, she probably wouldn't be scared to that extent.
First, the speed of the indoor karting track is relatively slow, and second, the surrounding protective measures are relatively good. Just looking at it makes people feel a lot more at ease.
After two laps, Shima Rin had fallen far behind, while Yuyama Kazuto moved up from the last starting position to the first place.
Whether in terms of technique, reaction, or tactical ability, Yushan Heren is obviously far superior to the others, so it is not surprising that he can grab the first place.
Since Shima Rin was a novice on the road, she was a little afraid at the beginning and drove a little bumpy, so it was normal for her to fall behind a little.
However, after running two laps, Shima Rin felt that she was gradually becoming proficient. After all, she had driving experience, although it was only a motorcycle.
But there are always similarities between driving and other things, not to mention that the operating logic of the two is very similar?
The third circle opens
At the beginning, Shima Rin gradually closed the distance with the front, which made Doma Mei, who was in the fourth position, a little nervous.
Doma Mai originally thought that she had been to the go-kart track three or four times, and even if she drove a little slower than Yuyama Kazuto, she should still be not afraid of Yukinoshita Yukino and Shirasaki Hana. However, she did not expect that the other party was much more skilled than Doma Mai.
Five people started together, but were actually divided into only three echelons.
Kazuto Hayama, Yukinoshita Yukino, and Hana Shirasaki are in the first echelon, Yumi Doma is in the second echelon, and Rin Shima is in the last echelon.
Seeing that there was basically no chance for her to catch up with the three people in front, Tsuchima Mai could only think that at least she had Shima Rin to support her. However, she didn't expect that Shima Rin also started to speed up.
After taking a look at the route, Tsuchima couldn't help but blink slightly and speeded up a little.
Seeing that she couldn't catch up with Yushan and the others, Domama's driving choices became much more conservative.
However, looking at the current situation, if he continues to be conservative, he will probably be caught up by Shima Rin, who is driving a go-kart for the first time. That would be a bit embarrassing.
At the end of five laps, Doma managed to hold on to fourth place through defensive driving.
In the end, Doma Yui and Shima Rin were completely in the same echelon, but fortunately they managed to hold on in the end.
Looking at Shima Rin, Doma Mai couldn't help but wipe the sweat off her forehead. If the competition continued, Doma Mai felt that she would soon be surpassed by Shima Rin.
Chapter 2149 Imitator
After the whole experience, everyone felt it was very good. Even after two hours of experience, some people still felt that they had not had enough fun.
However, because I have to go to the chess academy in the evening, it is not suitable for me to stay any longer.
After putting all the protective gear back in place, the few of them left the karting field.
"Rin, how did you feel about the experience just now?" Yushan Kazuto asked while sitting in the car.
The others have all driven go-karts, so asking them about their experience is of little reference value. It is Shima Rin's first time trying it, so asking her would be of the greatest reference value.
"It's quite interesting." After thinking for a while, Shima Rin spoke.
In fact, she wanted to say that this feeling was very exciting, but considering that it might be easily misunderstood after she said it out loud, she finally considered her words.
"It's really good. The price-performance ratio of this indoor karting track is quite high." Yushan Kazuto said with a smile.
Although the price is slightly higher than some indoor karting venues, the experience they provide is also high.
"Sister Rin, how did you come up with the idea of camping in Jonanjima Seaside Park?" Shirosaki Hana, who was sitting in the passenger seat, looked back at Shima Rin and couldn't help but ask.
The camping site chosen by the other party is not only suitable for picnics, but also has so many fun places nearby. Shirasaki Hana can't help but admire the other party's vision.
Listening to Shirasaki Hana's somewhat admiring tone, Shima Rin felt a little embarrassed, because in fact she did not choose carefully. She even chose the camping site first and then checked the surrounding conditions.
There are only so many places for camping in Tokyo. Some people may choose to camp on the streets or in some parks, but Shima Rin still prefers more formal camping sites.
Having been here twice before and having experienced two campgrounds, there are even fewer campgrounds to choose from.
The main reason why Shima Rin chose Jonanjima Seaside Park is that it is close to Hayama and people's homes.
