I c, I guess that if I am quite quick with the Rotax Max Senior then I will probably try to win the Rotax Max Challange qualify or what ever it's called. (Btw Mr. Fredrik, how many drivers do qualify to the Rotax Max Challange Finals here in Sweden?)

just 1 driver in rotax max and 1 driver in rotax max junior as well

WHAT!!!!! u.s. has 3 per every class for the roatx

Fredrik Arbegard · Sep 22, 2010

Perhaps because the US is much bigger than Sweden is why you have more than us

But we have one guy who will drive DD2 this year so 3 guys from Sweden from 3 classes.

ufunacaoenn · Sep 22, 2010

Fredrik is that DD2 driver you?

I was wondering since next year I will be doing just a few races and I really wanted to drive at really big Swedish events like (SM or Göteborgs Stora Pris (eller Något liknande)) but Fredrik could you give me a few tips?

Fredrik Arbegard · Sep 22, 2010

Well Stockholm Race Weekend, Göteborgs Stora Pris, Semester Racet, Swedish Championship, Kart Cup., Sverige Cupen etc.
There are many more and many non-champs race.

Btw my race last weekend ended up in 20th place out of 27

, not bad for a year without racing!
I spun on practise 1, practise 2, qualifying and qualy heat 1, but the 2 last race I made some good driving tooke 7 positions in the final and ended up as 20th

Today I spent the day dismantling the kart and mailing my track dealar for a cheap Rotax Engine to sell it with.
Not sure what brand I will drive next year but it looks now like it's gonna be either Intrepid or CRG

(Because Tony Kart sucks *Ducks for Austin*)

Austin Jordan · Sep 23, 2010

crg seems to be the best. better than intrepid but none better than tony

Stockholm Race Weekend is the race where I am the strongest at (It's the track

).

Btw if you have a Rotax Max Engine that is not that much used and cant sell it then save it for me, Dad might buy it since we thought of buying a new Chassi (thats the CRG) and then buy an used engine since the chassi have been the biggest problem for us.

Edit: Btw there is a cup which I sow last year and it was called DN or DM (dont really remember it that well). Anyhow do you know what it is since I sow that they were running 3 rounds with 3 different classes.

CRG has Zanardi, Pantano, Foré, (Max) Verstappen, Liuzzi, Hamilton, Kozlinski and the list goes on

Douglas Lundberg · Sep 23, 2010

Tony Kart FTW

well all those chassis (CRG, Intrepid and Tony Kart) are great. just depends what team you want to drive for, if you are driving for a team then.

ufunacaoenn · Sep 23, 2010

For all the Swedish go-kart drivers!!!

Did you recive a mail last year (2009) during September/Oktober which was an invite to drive a Formula Renault car on Anderstorp or on other track close to Stockholm? Because I recived one and it was quite odd since I was just a rookie and well did not do that well during the season. (Btw you had to pay around 1200 $/1150 euro to drive)

Austin Jordan · Sep 24, 2010

well in america skip barber trys to get karters into their cars which moves to star mazda then indy lights

Austin Jordan · Sep 25, 2010

ha my cousin is finally going to the same race i am in my brother's class (comer cadet). he's saying he's gonna whip my brother when 1. he hasn't raced the class since december and 2. last time tyler raced him he made my cousin not race the class that day and run only micro.

Fredrik Arbegard · Sep 26, 2010

Planning next years race calender atm, 8 races, 2 at my home track.
Only thing missing is a good kart

ufunacaoenn · Sep 26, 2010

Exept for the Stockholm Race Weekend which is the second race?

Fredrik Arbegard · Sep 26, 2010

I wil do SRW, thats one of those on my home track but the MKR final is also at Järfälla

Austin Jordan · Sep 27, 2010

well my cousin was sick and i came last because i have no motor speed no matter how hard i drove it i was still around 1.7 secs slower. the tracks basically just a straight. my brother had a good race for 2nd untill the guys he was racing wrecked eachother and then tyler (my brother) ends up getting 4 tony karts from a guy who won several national championships. so including his kasmic he has 5 karts while i only have 1 tony kart.
