Vincent's Crazy Go-Kart Race

There is nothing more exciting than watching a go-kart race. That's what Vincent and his parrot, Olli, believe. Every time there's a go-kart race on television, the two go absolutely mad and tear the living room apart in their excitement. Then, Vincent is suddenly given the chance to do more than just watch the races. A local club is hosting a go-kart race, and Vincent can't wait to sign up. There's just one problem, Vincent's mum gives him a set of rules he must follow if he wants to join the racers. The first is to find someone who can train him! With Olli and his other friends along for the ride, Vincent sets out on a quest and ends up discovering something special about his family. As Vincent works hard to make his dream come true, he learns the value of perseverance in this fast-paced adventure.
