You might think the words 'electric' & 'go karts' could never successfully go together but when you see just how nifty these Eco Karts are you'll soon be converted. The world of West London karting is totally electric! We have to admit we had our doubts too when we heard this karting track near Acton runs an entire fleet of electric vehicles. They are slightly heavier than your standard petrol versions but technology has come on in leaps & bounds & during testing at the track before going into service it turned out these Lithium battery powered models actually out accelerated their gas-guzzling cousins. So hop on & see just how thrilling electric karting actually is. Capable of speeds of up to 40mph & having the very distinct advantage of zero emissions (keeping the London powers that be & the neighbours happy) this is responsible karting at its fastest & most fun. The circuit in West London is superb. A good 500m long it's multi-level with some impressive banked corners (amongst the seven bends in total) interspersed with some nice high-speed straights. To give you an idea of what you should be aiming for the average lap time here is 28 seconds so let's see how you compare when you get out there. The format in Acton gives you two 15-minute driving sessions. Your first outing is a practice & qualifier so you can get used to the figure of eight track pattern & how these electric-driven karts handle. Then get your ignition on in your electric go kart & get ready for your second session. It's the race proper so it's time to step up your game & get out there to race. All that remains to be seen is who will win the environmentally friendly karting trophy at Acton's action-packed circuit. ...

Welcome aboard the Emirates Aviation Experience!

Although smaller than the Airbus this renowned airliner flies all over the world for this leading airline carrying up to 396 passengers. Once again the cockpit is just as you'd find in any Emirates Boeing 777 sitting on stand at London Heathrow. As for where you'll be flying on your Emirates flight simulator you will be able to pick from a range of short & long haul destinations. You can even choose the time of day (night time views of Dubai anyone?) & the weather conditions during your flight
- perfect if you want to tackle some fog over London. A fully-trained simulator experience instructor will guide you through your 60 minute Emirates flying experience. After your simulator session you'll be able to access the Emirates exhibition. With interactive games & a mock-up of both a cockpit & cabin it's a fun way to round off your very immersive Emirates aviation experience. On the 60 minutes session you'll be given two tickets. & make sure you take time to study the cut away genuine Rolls Royce Trent 900 engine that explains just how a powerful jet engine works
- it's pretty amazing!
