PENULTIMATE ROUND OF BRITISH CHAMPIONSHIP SUPER ONE KARTING SEASON AT SHENINGTON NEXT WEEKEND

Shenington Kart Racing Circuit near Banbury is gearing up for the penultimate round of the British Championship season next weekend, 24th/25th July, with the Formula A, Formula JICA and Formula ICA classes all poised for some exciting action.

Mark Litchfield (Rocester, Staffordshire) leads the BTE Lawline/Renault MSA British Kart Championship by a highly comfortable 58 points and with next weekend’s visit to Shenington and then one more round, at Larkhall in Scotland, to go he looks the strong favourite to win the prestigious Formula A title.

David Gregory (Sheffield), however, took two fantastic victories during last month’s fourth round of the season at Clay Pigeon and is now pushing hard in joint-second position in the championship standings alongside Jeremy Metcalfe (Fleet).

In the BTE Lawline/Renault ABkC ICA Championship, Danny Cruttenden (Wilmington) heads the standings thanks to a combination of a brace of podiums in the points-scoring Finals at Clay Pigeon and also an uncharacteristically poor weekend for Jon Lancaster (Pudsey, Leeds).

The 2003 Formula ICA Vice-Champion now leads Lancaster by 12 points as the series heads to Shenington with Chris Lamare (Inkberrow, Worcestershire), double-Finals winner at Clay Pigeon, in third and Freddie Martin-Dye (Shamley Green, Surrey) in fourth position.

The battle for the BTE Lawline/Renault MSA British Junior Kart Championship has been incredibly tight all season between front-runners Craig Copeland (Wimborne, Dorset) and Lee Bell (High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire).

Formula JICA really is proving to be too close to call but it’s Copeland who currently has a six-point lead over Bell with Adam Christodoulou (Shenstone, Lichfield) a further six points adrift in third position.

Formula A, Formula JICA and Formula ICA form part of the ELF/BTE Lawline MSA British Super One Kart Series.
