Clay Pigeon near Yeovil hosts the fourth round of the BTE Lawline/Renault MSA Super One British Karting Championships next weekend as the UK’s premier karting hot-shoes prepare to resume battle following a six-week break.
In the BTE Lawline/Renault MSA British Kart Championship – or Formula A as it’s more widely known – Mark Litchfield (Rocester, Staffordshire) will be aiming to consolidate his solid lead in the driver standings which was boosted last time out after taking a brace of wins at Lydd International Raceway in Kent.
With just a single point separating BTE Lawline/Renault MSA British Junior Kart Championship leader Lee Bell (High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire) and Craig Copeland (Sturminster Marshall, Dorset), the Formula JICA class looks set to be another close-fought affair between the two main title protagonists.
But while all eyes will be on local racer Copeland, expect fellow Formula JICA front-runners Adam Christodoulou (Woodend, Litchfield) and Richard Singleton (Conway) to put up a strong fight in their attempt to close up the championship chase.
In the BTE Lawline/Renault ABkC ICA Championship, Jon Lancaster (Pudsey, Leeds) currently heads the standings but Formula ICA is already proving to be a highly unpredictable category this season with any one of 10 drivers in with a chance of victory on any given weekend.
While Lancaster’s consistency has reaped rewards so far, he’ll have his work cut out at Clay Pigeon to fend off the likes of Freddie Martin-Dye (Shamley Green, Surrey), Chris Lamare (Inkberrow, Worcestershire) and reigning Formula JICA Champion Riki Christodoulou (Four Oaks, Sutton Coldfield) – the latter hoping to put right what has been, so far, a tricky season.
The fourth round of the BTE Lawline/Renault MSA Super One British Kart Championships takes place at Clay Pigeon, near Yeovil in Dorset, on 19th/20th July. In addition to the usual fast-paced action, the event will also feature a strong presence from joint-championship sponsor Renault with Formula Renault UK and Renault Clio Cup cars on display.
Formula A, Formula JICA and Formula ICA form part of theELF/BTE Lawline MSA British Super One Kart Series.
