JUNIOR KARTERS MAKING STRIDES IN SA

The recent round of the Rotax Championship at Formula K, saw Namibian Karters Russel Josephat (Bambino) and Nande and Mandume Kaiyamo (Mini Max) attaining good results over the weekend.

Josephat finished 6th overall in his class with Nande and Mandume finishing 9th and 14th respectively.

With the technically challenging tracks in South Africa combined with tough competition, these youngster are absorbing very useful knowledge for their competition in the Namibian championships.

We congratulate them on their results!

MOTORSPORT NEWS - BEUTHIN RACES AT ZWARTSKOPS

Local boy Zane Beuthin recently raced at the fourth round of the South African Kart National Championship at Zwartskops Raceway in South Africa.

He was matched up against some pretty good competition in the big boy Rotax DD2 class. Even though attaining 10th and 11th positions in Heats 1 and 2, he set up some very impressive lap-times and we believe this will not be his last outing.

Beutin also competes in the Namibian National Karting Championship.

Well done!
