Well-known international karting identity Josh Hart has jetted in from Europe and will be joining the 24 drivers racing for Praga and OK1 at this weekend’s Rotax Pro Tour event held at Ipswich.
New Zealand’s karting export Josh Hart is a huge asset to the team due to his extensive experience in the field of Rotax, racing himself at the highest level at several Rotax World Finals (coming 2nd in 2010 at La Conca Italy) and more recently race engineering two World Champions Bas Lammers and Alessandro Manetti.

Josh is taking time out from Europe to visit family and also support his brother Brendon who is aboard Praga and racing in the Rotax Heavy class this weekend. Joining Brendon from New Zealand is multiple-national champion Daniel Kinsman returning to Australia to race in Rotax Light.
Local brothers Lane and Trent Moore will be back on a home track and part of a strong contingent of Praga and OK1 drivers in the class Rotax Heavy field.
The team that IPKarting has assembled in their Praga and OK1 brands is brimming with awesome talent and Josh will be talking with the drivers and their families giving them some perspective on his experience and also scouting for talent to join him back in Europe at his Praga factory-backed race team, Josh Hart Racing http://www.josh-hart-racing.com/

Tomorrow the action starts on track at Ipswich for what will be an interesting day/night format under changing weather conditions with possible light showers expected.
