The next BIG thing in F1......

Here she is.. it's my 8 month old daughter Rory. She is currently testing with Porsche for a possible 2012 F1 attempt. Until that works out, she is looking to take Massa's seat at Ferrari to team up with Kimi.

Here she is testing the Porsche even though it looks very close to a Ferrari. No technology was stolen in the development of the Porsche F1 motor or chassis ahah!

Then they grow up. My 14 year old and I go out every Tues. night from 4-10 (we leave at about 7 when it gets crowded) and run our Karts at the local Karting road course.

Here are some pics of him shaking down his new Formula World Kart at Moroso Florida.

You guys are about 4 years from this. I have a 4 y/o that will be out there next year.

Rory,

At the time I took that pic he was 2. Funny thing is that, that is his helmet. A good friend got it for him for his birthday!

The pedal car is great but I'm trying to figure out a safe way to add a motor and brakes

You are right no Porsche emblem, I must install one of those orange bar ones I have. Did you notice the Skip Barber gear bag right past the car though?

You guys are amateurs. My son was driving a 911 before he could walk!



My daughter can hold her head up now, does that mean it's time to fit her with a helmet?

And now that we have hijacked Rory's thread I think we should start a thread with our kids in our cars....

Eventually he tired of the 2.2L, and graduated to turbo power!

Jim, how do you get started in karting for kids? My 3 year old would absolutely eat that up in a few years. He loves anything with wheels.
