Mario Idraulico and Luigi Fratello overseeing this project? I hope the karts don't run into any stray kooparticles.

They do some good tours. They are first come/first serve, so show up in the morning for the best chance to get a place.

> Each kart is turbo-boosted by 64 superconducting engines,” explains project leader Mario Idraulico

I guess we can now call you Mario 'Kart' Idraulico.

Oh wait.

Thank you CERN, that was a smart one.

Since I didn't get the name reference either, here is a link for those who want a hint: https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idraulico

Nice, I didn't get it.

I just realized "Kyouryuu" is Japanese for dinosaur.

And Pfirsich is of course Peach.

Really enjoyed the "karts and equipment will reach underground areas via giant green pipes" caption on the LHC tunnel diagram.

if you reached c with such a cart - nevermind the heat from air friction, would you be able to breath from a rebreather?
