Cape Town kart racer Sebastian Boyd wrapped up his preparations for the opening round of the SA National Junior Max Karting Championships at Vereeniging on Monday with a strong performance in the second round of the Western Cape high school championship on Saturday.

“We never quite had the pace to take it to Jason Coetzee this weekend — he managed to close my race 1 lead down and pip me at the post in the first race, and I couldn’t do too much in the second and third races, but it was a solid weekend overall and I had a good points haul,” Boyd pointed out. “We need to find that tenth or two to beat him!

“I’m looking forward to the first national this weekend — Junior Max is going to be hugely competitive so it’s a matter of keeping my wits and scoring as best I can each race. “Nationals are all about racking up the most points in every race and that is what we aim to do. “I also enjoy Vereeniging — it’s a fast and technical track so I’m looking forward to a great weekend.”
