An Agile Approach to Karting
fter delaying the Catalunya round by a week, we’d run out of time to run the 5th round at Suzuka so this would be the championship final round. 14 drivers lined up for qualifying and would start a race that I had high hopes for.

Monday saw the 5th and final round of our Tour of Japan and 11 drivers taking part in the 30 minute race at Suzuka. Until the day of the race I’d not done any practice since I’d been concentrating on ACC. I put that aside and did some practice in a test lobby and after watching a few YouTube videos got my times down to 2:01 which I was fairly happy with. In the practice before qualifying I was quicker than Dan and only about 1.5s off the quickest drivers.

After a delay of a week caused by organisational issues we reconvened the championship with a smaller than usual grid for the night race at Barcelona. 9 Drivers qualified with 8 taking the start. With 2 weeks to get ready for the race I was keen to have a better result than I had in round 2 at Mount Panorama.

Under grey skies and the threat of rain, 20 drivers took part in round 2 of the Winter Cup at Bayford Meadows. I was quite happy with my performance in round 1, taking my first overall win on track and was in 5th in the championship. I knew that if Lewis and Dean were taking place then 3rd would be the best I could expect…. especially if the rain arrived.

We only had 10 drivers for the penultimate round with regular front runners Loui and Ant not able to make it. This made it a straight fight between Jono and Graham. Graham took the pole but Jono took the win and the points. For me, it was a race to forget and a valuable lesson learned.
This is a quick section….. foolishly assuming I knew this track I spent all week preparing for a race on ACC around Barcelona. I didn’t know it half as well as I thought I did, paying a heavy price and qualifying 7th behind my championship rival Dan.
Round 3 of the championship saw us visit the streets of Tokyo for a night race on the longest track

After really enjoying the race at Kyalami I was really excited about racing at Mount Panorama which has always been

Season 2 of the ESR ACC league would be 5 rounds with the first at South Africas Kyalami. A track I’d not driven on at all so not only would I have to learn it, I’d have to be quick too otherwise I’d be in for a dull 50 minutes of pootling around at the back.

After a bug in the GTSport servers prevented us from racing on the 17th, all 12 drivers reconvened on the 24th for the 30 minute race at Autopolis – round 2 out of 5 in our tour of Japan. Like last time we’d be driving the group 3 Porsche 911 RSR with an open tire choice and a minimum of one pitstop.
