Formula A Championship leader Mark Litchfield (Rocester, Staffordshire) and Formula JICA pace setter Craig Copeland (Wimborne) will be aiming to continue winning ways when round two of the BTE Lawline/Renault Super One Karting Championships take place at PF International Circuit near Grantham this weekend, Sunday, 4th April.
Both drivers enjoyed faultless starts to their respective BTE Lawline/Renault MSA British Kart Championship and BTE Lawline/Renault British Junior Kart Championship campaigns during the season-opening event at Three Sisters, Wigan, last month and will be aiming to build on the perfect points tallies achieved after taking a brace of wins each.
Litchfield is likely to be pushed hard in the Formula A class by reigning champion Gary Catt (Thruxton, Hampshire) - who endured an uncharacteristically poor weekend during round one - and Alexander Sims (Pinchbeck, Lincolnshire) who is currently second in the standings.
Meanwhile, in Formula JICA, Copeland will be expecting to continue his tremendous form although Lee Bell (High Wycombe) and Richard Singleton (Conway) should provide some fierce competition. Singleton, in particular, proved to be a revelation at Three Sisters having only registered to compete in the championship at the 11th hour.
In the BTE Lawline/Renault ABkC ICA Championship, Jon Lancaster heads the standings following a solid display during the opening meeting of the season but Freddie Martin-Dye (Shamley Green, Surrey) will be hoping for better luck after technical problems robbed him of the chance to win during the opening round of the season.
Martin-Dye’s regular sparring partner Riki Christodolou (Four Oaks, Sutton Coldfield), the reigning Formula JICA Champion, didn’t get his Formula ICA career off to the best of starts at Three Sisters and will be keen to make amends at PF International on Sunday – the scene of his 2003 title triumph
In further news, highlights of last month’s Three Sisters meeting will be screened on Sky Sports 3 at 19.00 on Thursday, 1st April.
