On April 1st, SKUSA announced a new limited edition white tyre from MG! Wow! The white rubber runs 12 deg C cooler than the standard black rubber and is way faster. More Wows!! It would be foolish to think Australia will receive stock in April, as the tyre is in very short supply. But when they do arrive (perhaps on 1 April 2020?) maybe you can buy them with your KA-Coin? 😮

AKRA-NATS – Australian Kart Racers Alliance will be running a unique format at the organisation’s 2019 National Championship at Orange on April 19-21. While the competition element of the event will be run over two days, each class on offer will run qualifying, two heats pre-final and final all done and dusted on the one day. “Karters can race either Saturday or Sunday, or both” AKRA informed KartSportNews. “If they choose just one class they can be finished in one day, but it also allows for drivers to back up next day with the same kart, maybe with some extra weight or some weight off for another class.” Visit AKRA website for supp regs and class list HERE.
