Grey and misty Cape autumn weather greeted the cream of South Africa’s karting community for the second round of the SA National Karting Championships on Saturday, but as the conditions improved through the day, so did the temperature rise on track with brilliant racing across the board.
It was also a historic day for karting with the event being the first kart race ever to be live streamed on the Internet, while the day once again proved that Cape karters are enjoying a purple patch with local drivers taking sixteen wins from 24 races and overall honours in four of the eight classes.
