Ride onboard with Fernando Alonso as he goes from last to first in a little over two laps during a kart race.

Alonso took to Daytona at Sandown Park to put his kart skills to the test after the British Grand Prix, with the McLaren driver having just scored his first world championship point of 2015.

The double world champion set the third fastest time on the circuit's 'Superstars' board while also taking in a race at the circuit. Starting from the back of the grid, Alonso was running last heading in to the first corner but a little over two laps later was leading the race.
