Karts Replace Stockcars During the Summer Break

With the next race in the ASC calendar still 8 weeks away, Manuel Gil del Real continues honing his skills driving his shifter Kart at the local PKRA track.

"Kart racing is truly amazing" says Manuel. "It is by far the best type of training that any driver can do in between races or during the off season."

Indeed with speeds approaching 100mph in just a 500ft straight and shifting around 20 times per lap in a 46 second lap, Karting is one of the most demanding forms of motorsports that any professional or amateur driver can try.

"I love Karting. You can rest assured that any weekend I'm not racing with ASC I will be spending an entire morning training with my Go Kart until I have no tires left!" says Manuel.
