Wow, so your friend has to be pretty skilled or just the owner of the track
I wish him good luck and hope to see him in some faster cars

I think highest placed british driver was 9th and that was Jamie Croxford.

It was the last world championship for the Formula A, next year it will be KF1. I haven't seen any of the new engines but I doubt they'll sound as good as 20-odd FAs flying into T1

No Matter what CIK tries to say, 125 cc's isnt as "race" like as the ones we got now

yea jamie was 9th, he is the one who taught me to drive karts

he came from 24th on the grid after a DISASTEROUS pre final where his pressures where 20psi too low!!

Jonathan Thonon is a great driver imo, he also "won" the sICC world championship. But he had a false start so David Fore was the world champion after all.

Thonon also drives the best karts there is: CRG

lol crg are crap

Hmm well then we disagree on that point
IMO they drive really good, but theres a lot of people saying CRG's sucks just because its hard on the setup...

CRG FTW!

haha go on the tony//kart !!

CRG is a good kart no doubt, just doesn't work too well on track that dont have alot of rubber (i.e. most of the UK and Ireland tracks)
Thats not to say you cant get it to run well, just hard to run it consistantly well.
I agree with Sully, Tonykart seems to be one of the best "all-rounders", and relatively easy to get a quick setup with.
Anyway back on topic, I didn't see the race, but a mate of mine has it recorded so i will get to see it shortly From what i hear it was great!

hey nikki the wheel is much better !!niki knows most about tony since he is a mechanic for a tonykart team !!you doing any more racing this year niki
