TTKA Kart Racing #6
The rain skirted Arima Race Club for TTKA’s event # 6 this past Sunday 17th July. With only four more events left for the rest of the 2011 season, there were some important points to be earned. The race day provided lots of excitement, despite the smaller competitor group than usual, particularly with the anti clockwise race direction, which, on previous occasions, provided some gripping entertainment.
AutoSport Drag + Time Attack
Finally after nearly 5 years AutoSport was able to stage an event in T&T. This brought many from varying disciplines to participate in one Event – certainly what was hoped to have achieved at the Arima Grand Prix, (and that matter is far from over) and finally getting some relief for many of those who entered that Event and now able to relieve a tiny bit of pent-up racing energy.
TTKA Kart Racing #3
Competition begins to heat up as the Trinidad and Tobago Karting Association held its third event on May 15. Conditions remained overcast for the entire day however the weather held creating cool overcast conditions which were ideal for racing.
TTRC Rally #3 – Bronte’s Revenge
This event was action packed as it fell between TTRC’s biggest championship events for the year: Rally Trinidad & Rally Tobago. The Bronte stage is a mix of two stages that were used in Rally Trinidad 2011. The jump was back as well as the famous RedBull corner. There was an improved pit area so crews and spectators were close to the action.
TTKA Kart Racing #2
Trinidad and Tobago Karting Association held it’s second championship event on April 10. Track conditions were ideal as the weather held up nicely to provide ideal racing conditions for competitors. In each class the usual suspects continued their run of form as the championship front runners are beginning to emerge.
Rally Trinidad 2011 Mayor’s Cup Saith Park
RT11 ended in Saith Park Chaguanas as in previous years. This leg was patronised by His Worship Mayor Orlando Nagassar and well attended by an enthusiastic crowd that lined the streets and every possible vantage point. They were treated to some spectacular driving by Panton, Powell and Gill, who eventually captured the coveted Mayor’s Cup title and trophy. Son of Chaguanas Ainsley Lochan, who did not compete this year, brought RT11 to a finale by making an appearance in his colourful EVO IX and delighted the fans with some fancy driving.
