FFSA Ecole Française de Karting (EFK) De Kart Center Biscarrosse

So far, Alvis learns most of his driving skill from playing racing simulator games.  Knowing that is insufficient for his learning path, he was enrolled to learn go karting at Ecole Française de Karting (EFK) De Kart Center Biscarrosse under the teaching of  David CRUZ.  







Beside learning karting skills at the school, you will learn to respect the karting values and rules which apply on and off the racetrack.  The principles of these teachings are based on values such as respect for self and others and sporting behaviors.  Respect the signs and the flags on the track.  Respect the officials and rules of the sporting code on and off the circuit.
