EVENT REVIEW

HUTTON SECOND AT ASIA-PACIFIC KART CHAMPIONSHIP MEETING IN MACAU

Young New Zealand karter Arie Hutton (Tony Kart/Vortex/Bridgestone) has made a big impression

at this year's combined CIK-FIA World Karting Championship/Asia-Pacific Karting Championship meeting at Macau, finishing second in the Asia-Pacific KF3 support category.

Making light of the hot, humid conditions and 16-strong field of works-supported drivers from Europe and Asia the 14-year-old from Auckland was fifth quickest in qualifying on Saturday before finishing third in the first heat, fourth in the second, then second in both the Pre-Final and Final behind new Asia-Pacific KF3 champion Jordan King (Maranello/TM/Bridgestone) from Great Britain.

Italy's Giuliano Maria Niceta (Tony Lart/Vortex/Bridgestone) was third, Great Britain's William Whitelock (FA Kart/Vortex/Bridgestone) fourth.

This year's event was the first in the 46-year history of the CIK-CIA World Karting Championship to be held in Asia with the World Karting Championship for Drivers title in the premier SKF class going to Frenchman Arnaud Kozlinski (CRG/Maxter/Bridgestone) from Finn Aaro Vainio (Maranello/Maxter/Bridgestone) and Great Britain's Ben Hanley (Maranello/Maxter/Bridgestone).
