Two karting victories for Visser

Visser brothers Charl and Kyle from Durbanville enjoyed a busy weekend racing at home at Killarney’s sixth round WP Karting Championship races, where Charl excelled with a double race victory in both Junior Max and the all-new Rok OKJ class, while Kyle consolidated his Maxterino challenge with a solid fourth for the day.

Being the same engine that Charl raced in his duties representing South Africa in the CIK-FIA Academy series in Europe was an advantage Charl used to the best of his abilities as he raced off to a triple victory, but he was even more delighted by his first Junior Max race and overall wins. “I am so happy to have won my first Junior Max race!” Charl admitted.

“I qualified in pole position and we had three tough races — Sebastian Boyd, Jason Coetzee and I won a race each ,but I won the day by one point. “Conditions were tough but we managed and we raced well together — my race engineer Zefry Ngoben’s setup work was great so many thanks to him — it’s nice to mix it up at the front now!”

Younger brother Kyle found pace as the weekend progressed in the primary school Maxterino 60cc class. “I ended fifth, fourth and third in the races and fourth overall,” Kyle pointed out. “It was a bit more difficult in the cold and drying conditions but it was a good day. Thanks to my dad and the Charl Electrical Engineering team for all their hard work!”

The Vissers now head north to Zwartkops for this weekend’s double-header with a Northern Regions meeting on Saturday and the African Open on Sunday with a chance for Charl to win a Junior Max World Final seat in Portugal in November. “That’s the mot important race of the year to win,” Charl concluded. “It gets you straight in to the World Finals and that is exactly what I want to do!”
