THE FASTEST TYRE IN KARTING

28.08.2007

 

On Sunday 27 August 2007 Ralph Odendaal fitted a used set of Bridgestone YGK to his race winning ROTAX Max Challenge CRG and immediately set a time around Zwartkops not seen before by any Super Rok, passing one competitor after the other. The shock of all Rok and ROTAX competitors present was evident. Later in the day he fitted these now very used Bridgestone tyres to his DD2 and went straight into steady 42 second laps. Steve Wicks, Hendrik Verwoerd and others would be well advised to change the current catch phrase "the fastest class in karting" to "the class on the fastest tyres" so as not to confuse spectators in 2008! Good news for karting, all classes will run on Bridgestone tyres in 2008.
