• Test driving karts for our mechanics
• Helping customers into karts and with their race suits and helmets
• Checking the grid before the start of a race
• Being on hand to 'marshal' the events
• Waving the flags to keep our customers safe
• Helping those that spin off back into the action

What skills our crew have

• We are friendly and approachable
• We put customers first
• We have a positive and proactive attitude
• We have a great eye for detail
• We communicate well together
• We are team players!

The TeamSport experience:
