Qualifying: KF/KF-J World Championships


  20 September 2014
   
 

While Nicklas Nielson and Enaam Ahmed qualified fastest in the KF and KF-J classes respectively, Australian Josh Tynan had a shocker in KF and New Zealand's Marcus Armstrong is burried in the middle of the junior field.

"It was a pretty woeful day" Leigh Harrison informed KartSportNews of Josh's Friday running.

"The set up was not right for today and after some changes were made; it went backwards. (Josh) lost 4 tenths from practice to qualifying and it has left him 69th. A lot of work to be done in the heats tomorrow."

Meanwhile, Kiwi Marcus Armstrong qualified 51st in the Junior field, 0.533s off pole. The then carded a 12th and 13th in Friday's heats.

  • Follow Josh and Marcus via the live timing. Josh is in KF group D, Marcus KF-J group C.

event press release

The drivers to beat are the two new European Champions for KF & KFJ: the English Callum Ilott, fifteen years old from Hertfordshire, and Enaam Ahmed, fourteen years old from London. They both aim at winning the World Title to complete their outstanding season.

Nicklas Nielsen, time leader in KF

Nobody was surprised when the Danish Nicklas Nielsen (Kosmic-Vortex-Dunlop) set the fastest time in KF. This season, so far, he has been the toughest rival for Ilott. The Danish, thanks to his 49”093, was 26 milliseconds ahead of the English Lando Norris (FA Kart-Vortex-Dunlop) and 0”037 of the European Champion Callum Ilott (Zanardi-Parilla-Dunlop). The first three drivers seem ready for a great battle, while the Finnish Niko Kari is 4th with 49”196. Special mention also for the reigning champion, the English Tom Joyner (Zanardi-Parilla-Dunlop): in last year's Championship, in Bahrain, he showed he can achieve great recoveries and today he set the fifth time with 49”284.

Enaam Ahmed sets the fastest time in KFJ

In KFJ, on the other hand, the Champion hit the target again: Enaam Ahmed (FA Kart-Vortex-Vega)  beat into second place the Danish Casper Roes Andersen (Energy-TM-Vega) thanks to his 49”725,  The Danish was only 62 milliseconds slower and also the gaps between the drivers behind the top duo are very narrow: the Russian Artem Petrov (DR-TM-Vega) and the Finnish Paavo Tonteri (Art GP-TM-Vega) are respectively 65 and 80 milliseconds behind. Ahmed confirmed to be in top condition also in the first heats: he won two of the four races run in the afternoon, while the other two heats were won by Petrov and the Swedish Noah Milell (Exprit-Vortex-Vega).
