AMB has in the works a new display that karters will find very interesting. It provides more timing information than any other existing lap timer such as MyChron, Alfano, or Unipro. What more could it provide than your laptime?

Winter Cup Results Bring Change
Looking at the results from the first big event of 2008 held last weekend it appears that the Tonykart-Vortex dominance in KF1 from 2007 hasn’t carried over in quite the same way with other manufacturers having played catch-up over the winter.

Forum Talk: Rotax Engine Recall and Race Engine Choices
A few interesting threads have developed in the karting forums. One is a thread about an engine recall from Rotax for Junior max engines – some cylinders have been found to be a bit outside of the standard tolerances and Rotax is offering a free replacement to owners of a cylinder that is out-of-spec.
Another discussion which started on Yamaha-KT engine pricing has developed into a discussion about different engines being used in competition – is it more important to go fast or to have close racing – can you have both? Check that thread here.
