Zohran Mamdani races go-karts in his ever-present suit at Coney Island

Zohran Mamdani Coney Island (Geopolitical Entity) New York

Zohran Mamdani raced a go-kart around Coney Island as he celebrated the launch of a new initiative in New York City.

On Monday (13 July), the mayor announced the launch of Public Interest Technology (PIT) crews - teams that will travel across city agencies and deploy technologists in an attempt to enhance government efficiency.

In a nod to the more commonly-known pit crews - a team in motorsports that services a race car - Mr Mamdani and other New York City officials sped around Coney Island on go-karts.

The New York mayor opted to keep his suit on for the race, as he went straight into a press conference announcing the scheme after racing around the track.
