WSK Master Series 2010
WSK Master Series 2010
The WSK Master Series 2010 kicked off last weekend at the Siena Karting Circuit in Italy. The Master Series is a 3-round championship that runs from August to October at 3 tracks in Italy running the 60mini, KF2, KF3, and KZ2 (shifters) categories. The first round had several drivers familiar to the South-East-Asian region in the KF2 and Mini 60 categories.
Australian driver Mitchell Gilbert who started his karting career in Malaysia put in a good performance in the KF2 category finishing the final in 5th place, with enough pace to go a few places higher.
The mini 60 category saw a bunch of drivers from Malaysia/Singapore. James Pull, Daim Hishammudin, and Max Fewtrell all made the trip to Italy to take part in the competitive field of 66 drivers! None of the 3 managed to make the final (34 out of the 66 drivers make it to the final stage), but all gained tremendously from the experience. Fewtrell was the closest to to getting into the final having missed out on a possible top 34 placing because of carb problems forcing him to sit out a heat. After the heats the 3 drivers were classified in 45th (Hishammudin), 48th (Fewtrell), and 62nd (Pull). Fewtrell had the best single heat finish with a 14th, while Hishamuddin and Pull both managed a 16th place.

Rotax Max Malaysia Rd.3
Update: There was a critical mistake in the Junior championship standings. The standings have now been updated. The championship leader is Gilbert Ang. The error was due to a mistake creeping into the round 2 points for this revision which resulted in 0 points for Gilbert in the final rather than 30 which it was in the points published after round 2 and should rightly be now as well. Apologies from the organisers for the mistake to all competitors. The 3rd round of the Rotax Max Challenge Malaysia series was held last weekend at the Speedway PLUS karting circuit. As was the case at round 2 the championship tables were yet again turned around as drivers at the top of the standings in both the Junior and Senior category had difficult weekends. A mainly sunny Saturday with a dash of rain for the qualifying sessions was replaced by a scorching hot Sunday. The full results can be viewed on the MyLaps Website, and you can download the updated Championship Standings. In the Senior category KRS driver Moh Afiq Ikhwan drove himself back into championship contention moving up to 4th in the standings after taking a comfortable win in both the pre-final and final, while defending champion Mikko Nassi took the championship lead with a 2nd place finish for a KRS 1-2. Andrew Tang dropped from 1st to 3rd in the standings because of a crash resulting in a DNF in the pre-final. He managed to limit the damage damage with a storm through the field to take 3rd in the final. Nasri Naufal dropped from 2nd in the standings down to 5th. The top 6 in the championship are separated by just 11 points, leaving the championship wide open with 2 rounds to go.
