We came across the following go-karts on a day out to see one of the many lighthouses on the il d’Oleron during our holiday. They were on one of those unmanned tracks where they just leave the karts and it’s up to you to insert the required 2 Euros for upwards of two minutes of mild amusement for the kids.
The first one, as you can see, is littered with lots of almost-but-not-quite official sponsors, see if you can spot them all:
I particularly liked ‘Tec Tyc’ because when I think of racing, I think of Tic Tacs.
That was really amusing though, but I found the next one not so funny:
There’s no dodgy, knock-off attempts made here. If you put your 2 Euros in this baby, your child will soon be riding round the track advertising one of the world’s most popular brands of cigarettes, with no ambiguity whatsoever.
What’s the message here? Start them young?
France eh? You’ve got to love it.
