Karting in Moscow (Silver Rain): reviews
According to the stories of many users who liked the visit to the club, they conducted a detailed briefing. During it, they learned about the basics of riding, received information about the rules for pressing the pedals (you can not simultaneously press the gas and brake). They were also explained the meaning of the flags. For example, yellow symbolizes potential danger. Black recommends slowing down and driving up to the instructor. Blue advises urgently to cuddle to the side of the road, and the checkered one informs about the intersection of the finish line. As you can see, all the requirements are very serious.
Others delightedly talk about an unforgettable briefing. According to them, at the initial stage, they not only listen to the instructor's advice, but even ride with him. As they say, during a training session, the instructor rides on a map frame for several laps in order to help the beginner get comfortable and feel the control of the car.
The third ones like the sensations that they felt during the ride. Fourth enthusiastic about the uniform. They photographed a lot and felt like real pilots of sports cars. Fifths liked the large and covered track, which allowed them to come even in the rain.
However, among such reviews can be found negative. For example, they are talking about washable suits for riding. According to these people, far from all the details of the ammunition are clean and it would not hurt to update them. Some do not like the fact that helmets do not have a protective glass. Many strongly recommend a separate track for children and adults. According to them, when the children are on the track, you will not be able to accelerate much. There are also users who complain about the location of the center. From their words, it becomes clear that finding a base is difficult. And of course, some are embarrassed by the extremely high price.
