The overall points from the pre-final and final put Muizz and Maini in 2nd and 3rd place respectively in the championship standings.

February 5, 2013

Indian driver Kush Maini (racing with an Italian license) triumphed in the 60 mini category at the opening round of the WSK Masters series in Italy. Maini took two firsts and a second place in his heats, which put him on pole for the pre-final, in which he dropped to third at the line, but he then fought back to the front in the final as he took the win less than 2 hundredths ahead of Eliseo Martinez.

Sasakorn Chaimongkol from Thailand was the best of the Asian drivers in the Junior category with a 5th place in the final, and a great points haul for the WSK Masters series. Kush’s brother, Arjun Maini also impressed as he competed in the Junior category, finishing in the points in 14th place. Another Indian driver, Macau Asia-Pacific champion from 2012 Jehan Daruvala had impressive results in the heats with a win, two 2nd place finishes, and an 8th, but a DNF in the final after a top five in the double-header pre-finals ended his weekend on a low.

Karting Photography Tips

January 11, 2013

by

January 11, 2013

Karting is a great sport for photography, and many karters have their own camera gear that they put to use when not racing. Hopefully this article will help you get the best out of your equipment. While you can get great shots with almost any type of camera, I’m mainly going to cover DSLR camera techniques, but most tips can be used even with point-and-shoot cameras (especially if they have some manual control). This article’s focus is for on-track shots rather than pit shots. Read the rest of this entry »
