To get all the results Yokohama needs the Team Trackmagic Racing Karts and the Team Trackside Performance.
Both has been at the XPlex Racetrack 3 days and used about 20 tire sets.

Jackie wants to stay close to Gary for the next laps, but it's not easy to catch up

Diego Valverde describes why Trackmagic-Karts are the ultimate "winner'-karts. Gary is ready for the next test laps.... |
|
....if my math is right there have been made more than 80 tire changes in the last 3 days -
and with this experience it's no wonder that it takes only seconds to get the tires off the wheels.. (above, 3rd photo left)

Jackie was offered to try some laps with the Trackmagic TAG Kart - and of course this is what she wanted to do!
After a few laps Gary takes a quick look how Jackie's performance have been so far... ...and Jackie is surprised: Her fastest speed was 68mph !
She sat the first time in a TAG and had a very good feeling - her short comment: 'I want one!' |
