  • The Ipswich Kart Club's Prostate Cancer Foundation Charity Enduro that was scheduled for this weekend has been cancelled due to a lack of entries. "There was a total of 18 entries over six classes which is not enough to support continuing with the event" the club's President, Ian Mather, stated. "Once again we thank you for your support and hope to see you at the 30th November Race Meeting."

  • West Australian karter Luke Gabin has been crowned the champion of the 2013 Skip Barber Racing School Karting Scholarship Shootout. This means the 19-year old (right, Gabin/facebook) has won a full season Skip Barber Formula 2000 racing in either the 2013-2014 Winter or Summer Race series. Gabin developed a feel for the car and posted consistent session averages, earning the highest instructor score from the group of 20 finalists. Luke competed in the CIK Stars of Karting series this year, winning in Pro Light at the opening round. He is looking to compete in KZ2 in WA next year, in between racing in America. An article about Luke's Skippy Scholarship win is on ekartingnews HERE.
