The Sprint 15 fleet held its (almost) annual go-kart Grand Prix on Wednesday 28 August at the Liskeard Kart World straight after the sailing championships at Pentewan Sands Sailing Club.
We had excellent conditions and a new record attendance of 24 keen karters took part. Both clubs and families were well represented and as usual the competition was hot and as fiercely contested as the sailing.
All contestants got a 5-lap warm-up session followed by three 10-lap heats. The final was then run between the top 8 drivers.
The final took place with the 8 top drivers and it was Matt Smith who took the crown from Mark Bunyan, Adrian Whaley, Tom Gall and George Love. No one could deny that Matt and Mark were the outstanding drivers from the proceedings.
Final Results:
1st Matt Smith (Beaver)
2nd Mark Bunyan (Stewartby)
3rd Adrian Whaley (Swanage)
4th Tom Gall (Carsington)
5th George Love (Carsington)
6th Mark Aldridge (Grafham)
7th Ray Gall (Carsington)
8th Steve Petts (Grafham)
