2015 AUSTRALIAN KART CHAMPIONSHIP

time2015/11/03

The Australian Karting Championship, presented by Jayco and Castrol EDGE went over and above its fair share of excitement at today’s Grand Final event in Geelong – with four of the eight classes on offer not decided until the drop of the chequered flag in the finals.

The most dramatic of the weekend came in KF3 after Canberra racer, Zane Morse led the Title chase by nine points coming into the weekend. Not starting the second heat this morning and subsequent victory for closest rival, Reece Sidebottom put Tony Kart-mounted Morse on the back foot.Sidebottom controlled the pace of the final to take a comfortable victory over local Dylan Hollis – his best KF3 Final finish and Queenslander Joshua Rogers.

Needing to win and for Sidebottom to finish third or worse, Morse mustered fifth placing behind new Victorian Champion, Oscar Piastri.In KZ2 yesterday’s switch in Championship lead from season-long leader, Jake Klarich to Jason Pringle continued today, with the CRG driving Pringle showing no nerves about the Championship position. He extended the lead to seven points after the third heat and then went on to put together a masterful drive leading home Dutch Ricciardo Kart pilot, Marijn Kremers and TB Kart’s Klarich.
