Was looking forward to seeing Carlo's SKE kart on european soil, looks like his driving a PVP instead ?
Re: 2013 CIKFIA European Superkart Champs - Round 2 Assen
Good luck fella's.

I've just had Carlo on the phone, its defiantly a Typo.
SKE is on the grid, lets just hope there is no protests.
I would just like to wish all three boys the best of luck & safe trip.
And I hope little Sofia keeps them in line.

Anyway it won't ruffle him, go get em mate.
Re: 2013 CIKFIA European Superkart Champs - Round 2 Assen
I would imagine there would be protests if it costs main European competitors valuable points. Can always put normal bodywork on if that's the case.
Re: 2013 CIKFIA European Superkart Champs - Round 2 Assen
I think you'll find the body work issue has been resolved. We'll just have to wait and see what it looks like at Assen this weekend.

Re: 2013 CIKFIA European Superkart Champs - Round 2 Assen
Yes it is the distance of the bubble to feet position at rest rule. What surprises me is why Russell created a bubble shield that is illegal as far as I can see too. I hope it has been sorted, Carlo went really well last time he came over and with high speed tracks like Assen and Magny Cours I hope he surprises a few people too with some good results. :D

Sam, Carlo put a fair amount of work in before he left to modify the nose cone/bubble so that it complies with the regulations. Hopefully all goes well as he has put in so much work and I know how much he loved raving over there last time.
Jase.

Re: 2013 CIKFIA European Superkart Champs - Round 2 Assen
Sorry, I can't shed any light on the reason for Carlo's lack of pace. I'm not at Assen, just picking up snippets of info here and there.
I was also interested that the new VM inline twin with Danny Bleek driving went exceptionally well in Q1, but never appeared in Q2. Be interesting to see how it gets on today in race 1.
Best Regards
Ian :)

Well done to Gavin Bennett? on a clean sweep of the weekend with his second Assen race victory. 2nd was Adam Kout, 3rd Emmanuel Vinuales?, 4th Liam Morley?, 5th Lee Harpham? and 6th Henrik Lilja?.
Gavin was particularly quick in sector 2 and now leads the virtual Championship from Vinuales, Hentschel, Harpham and Lijla.
The Oz guys scored an 11th with Russell Jameison, a 21st with Jason Smith and unfortunately Carlo Chermaz was a first lap retirement along with Dutchman, Danny Bleek? using the new VM engine.
Best Regards
Ian :)
Re: 2013 CIKFIA European Superkart Champs - Round 2 Assen
The VM looked impressive in one of the races - appears to be willing to rev over 14000 - do you know any more about it?

Hi Allan
It looks a pretty conventional tandem twin with Rotax gearbox and clutch. That's all I really know about it.
