British Performance at WSK Round 1
TonyKart drivers Will Stevens and Gary Catt made it a British clean sweep of the top two positions in the first round of the WSK series held in La Conca, Italy. Stevens took first in both the pre-final and final ensuring maximum points and Catt came in at second best both times also taking in a massive points haul. With the remaining positions changing around from pre-final to final the British duo earned themselves a healthy points-gap in the championship standings. Jack te Braak took 3rd in the final on his Zanardi.
Unfotunately none of the Asian drivers at the event made it into the final stages of the event.
