FULL SUCCESS FOR RAD AND RVXX
Professional engagements took up the whole month of May with the eliminatory heats in KF2 and KF3 categories on the occasion of the European CIK-FIA Championship and with the third round of the WSK Master Series.
It has been a real success for our engines. On the occasion of the PF International (Great Britain) and Varennes s/Allier (France) competitions, our RAD engines’ were the most numerous both in KF2 and KF3 categories. This is a clear sign proving that teams and the drivers trust a lot on our engines’ quality and at the same time they are aware of our high-quality technical material and support engineering.
This way, what we obtained in the eliminatory heats is that most of our drivers gained the entrance admission to the next European CIK-FIA Championship at Zuera (Spain).
Guibbert (FA Kart) won in KF2 category, preceding the Tony Kart Racing Team of Fioravanti. Furthermore the success achieved in KF3 category was even more important, with the whole podium blue coloured by Vortex. First position was for Montalbo (Genikart LTP on FA Kart), second position for Ocon (GSM Team on FA Kart) and last but not least, third, Gerard (Team Bruneau on Tony Kart).
As team and drivers’ classifications prove, more often our partner teams are the winners and together with them the best response concerning our RAD reliability.
Good news arrived also in KZ category, with the last WSK Master Series held on the Italian Circuit of Sant’Egidio alla Vibrata where we we’ve been the leaders.
Actually, Convers (Kosmic Kart Racing Department) signed the pole position and on the occasion of the very final, drivers Ardigò and Piccini, both from the Tony Kart Racing Team, took the first and third position, respectively.
This success takes Ardigò at the top of the Championship classification. KZ2 category’s competition was won by one more Vortex RVXX, driven by DOUGLAS from Ward Racing Team.
It is on the same WSK event that Damiano Fioravanti won the second position in the final of KF2 category.
The season is now ready for the World Championship of KF1 category, scheduled to be raced at the German Wackersdorf circuit (Germany, June 12th ). Furthermore, on the occasion of the same event the prestigious European titles for KZ1 and KZ2 categories will be assigned, too.
