Course of a karting session at Saint-Etienne:

• You'll be welcomed by the Leopard circuit management team, who'll explain how the circuit works and register you for the next session.
• You'll then have a briefing session to remind you of the safety rules to be observed once behind the wheel of your karts.
• You'll be fitted with a hygienic cap, a helmet that fits you, a safety neck brace and gloves.
• You'll then settle into the bucket of your kart to make the adjustments that will optimize your driving. If you have difficulty, we'll help you move your pedals closer or further apart.
