Pre-school teacher Daniella Daniels seems to have graduated to the fast lane.
The 23-year-old from Narre Warren North clocked record lap times in new Sodi go-karts that have recently arrived at Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit’s go kart track.
Ms Daniels’s best lap time on the 750-metre circuit – a scaled-down replica of its Grand Prix circuit – was 47.419 seconds.
Karting had been a long-held passion for Ms Daniels.
“I grew up with older brothers and our life was all about cars and bikes and going fast. I’ve never done driver training, I just get out there and go,” she said.
“The new go-karts are super special and as the holidays go on, they’ll get run it and they’ll pick up even more pace.
“It’s a ton of fun and I can’t wait to get back on track.”
During school holidays, the business has set a challenge for drivers to “slam dunk” the lap record.
The Sodi RT8 Evo2 Go Karts with 270cc engines and added safety features can hit top speeds of up to 65km/h.
They are limited to drivers who are 12 and over and at least 140cm tall.
