West Australian Sam Dicker has etched himself as a two-time Australian KZ2 Champion at the final round of the SP Tools Australian Kart Championship in Oakleigh just outside Melbourne after a last-round stand that saw him overhaul series-long leader, Joshua Fife. Entering the weekend four points behind Fife, the Flatout Karts racer set the tone with pole position on Friday and continued that through the first two heats on Saturday.

Brad Jenner has equalled the all-time round winner’s list in the SP Tools Australian Kart Championship presented by Castrol by taking out the X30 class on Sunday at Seymour’s Eastern Lions Kart Club; while Joshua Fife extended his KZ2 Championship lead through a dominant round win. Jenner secured his 12th total round victory, joining Troy Loeskow at the top of the all-time list.

Victorian Henry Johnstone has taken the first round of the SP Tools Australian Kart Championship, presented by Castrol at Adelaide’s Bolivar Raceway after a gruelling final in blazing heat, while reigning KA2 Champion, Max Walton made a successful transition to senior racing, taking out the X30 category. 

The Bahrain International Karting Circuit welcomed back the busy paddock with open arms, in what would be a very busy day for all the drivers to really kick start the action out on track another level, with not only high sun and hot temperatures to content with, but also the efforts towards the official Qualifying Practice sessions and the first set of Qualifying Heats.
