Problems Put Harvey Hat-Trick On Hold

press release

Lincolnshire based kart racing champion Jack Harvey was unable to make it three wins from three events at the weekend, when he suffered from mechanical problems during the latest round of the MSA British Super One Championship at Rowrah in Cumbria.

 

The newly crowned CIK FIA Asia Pacific KF2 champion had headed to the event full of confidence after picking up a superb victory last weekend in Belgium. However, despite setting some impressive times in the run up to the heats, Jack was unable to challenge for outright victory as he struggled to find the absolute limit.

Despite the set-back, the 15 year-old Newark Steel backed racer was able to pick up a couple of good results in his heats and managed to take fifth place in the first of the two finals. In the second event he got away well and moved up to fourth in the early laps, but was then forced to pull into the pits with mechanical problems, putting him out of the race.

 With his run of podium results temporarily halted Jack was left frustrated but philosophical about the weekend.

“When we got here and first took to the track on Friday everything wasn’t too bad, but we still struggled to find the limit everywhere,” he said. “The team had a think and we tried some new things over the weekend but I still wasn’t able to run right on the front running pace.

“I had a good race in the first final and hoped that I could make it into a podium finish in the second, but I picked up a problem not long into the race and I was forced to pull in. It was a shame as I had hoped to come here and go for another victory, but I’ve had a great couple of weekends recently and this was down to something that was out of our hands,” he added.

 “I’m going to get ready for my next event, which is the European Championship qualifying event next month. I’m going over there aiming to repeat what I did last year and be the top qualifier for the finals later in the year.”
