Klarich Ecstatic With International Test Looming
Tweetpress release
Jake Klarich is now in a full fitness preparation ahead of the most important time he will spend behind the wheel of a racing car in the coming months.
Following victory in the KF3 category in the Kalgoorlie Dash for Cash event, Klarich is set to test for Formula Pacific outfit, Team Meritus.
It was what could only be described as a superb weekend for Klarich, a clean sweep of all the heats in addition to qualifying first in the 1 lap dash by three tenths placed the 16 year old in firm positioning for a victory and the impending test drive to take place at Sepang International Circuit in Malaysia.
Some minor changes were made to the Super Rooster Lenzo Kart that recently claimed 3rd in the CIK Stars of Karting Series for the Pro-Junior category meant that yet more speed was found for Jake. The Perth teenager stated, “the Super Rooster Lenzo Kart was on song in Kalgoorlie, we made a few little changes all weekend and it took off.”
Following these minor tweaks, and riding an enormous wave of confidence, Jake then drove through to storm the field in the final to eventually claim victory by 10 seconds, truly displaying the talent that has been attributed to him across the season which also saw two round wins in the CIK series.
Already with 5 WA State Karting Titles and 1 NSW State Karting Title to his name, this opportunity to compete in what was formally known as Formula BMW Asia will be a strong move for Klarich into the direction of International open-wheel racing that he is striving to achieve.
Klarich added, “we are very happy with the result and I am looking forward to driving with Team Meritus in Malaysia."
“A big thank you to the team, Lenzo Kart Australia, Super Rooster Toowoomba, Condo Cartage, MI Construct, Bowra Signs and A and R Klarich Transport and Earthmoving,” Klarich concluded.
