CIRCUIT OF THE MONTH ROWRAH

Without doubt, 2014 will go down in history as the year the world celebrated the most revered, iconic driver Motorsport has ever known: 3-time Formula 1 World Champion – and twice Karting viceWorld Champion! - Ayrton Senna. Over the past few months I spent weeks researching facts and anecdotes about Senna in his Karting days, interviewing those who have known him best, and challenged him the hardest. Two of them, real Karting legends in their own right, Terry Fullerton and Mike Wilson, have agreed to share their memories in the next pages.

But the 20th anniversary of Ayrton Senna’s fatal accident at Imola offered me the opportunity to ponder about the beauty of our sport.

The greatest driver Formula 1 has ever known had such a fond memory of his time in Karting, going as far as describing it as “the purest form of motorsport.”

As him, and as many people in this sport, we at Vroom do have a great passion for Karting, be that at club level or World Championship level. We have always tried to promote ASN Karting, now MSA Karting through the pages of Vroom UK, as well as UK Karting Clubs and British drivers whenever possible.

And yet – here comes my reflection - with the modern means of worldwide communications, the ease to ‘use and abuse’ on social media is common practice. But why does it have to be so? Is Ayrton Senna’s example not worthy following?

It is about time some within the UK Karting community – likely the leading nation in the world in terms of numbers of licence holders, participants, etc. - stop bringing the sport down, and for the good of the sport learn to work as a real community to stabilise and increase participants in organised UK Karting.

This can be done through the ASNs, which bring professionalism and stability to the sport, and have the means – particularly in the UK where the absence of politics involved in the sport is a huge advantage, as opposed to other countries like Italy – and cultural background to have this fantastic discipline flourish.

If the karting scene in other European countries is resting most hopes to revive the sport with the CIK and the next evolution of engines (hopefully they’ll get it right this time around), the UK is much stronger and has a strong club scene, which is absolutely key in supporting the sport and growing the base.

United Karting must be the UK’s ‘buzz word’. Impossible to please all people all the time, but the need to be united is of the essence, were UK Karting standing any chance of stabilising itself, and grow.

No one has all the right answers, more often than not it’s going to be about give & take, but it has come the time the UK Karting scene starts working as a community, with a common intent, by all means exploring changes, modern ideas and sound business plans, via our ASN. After all, we are all in it together, sharing the same passion!

Because Ayrton showed us the way!

FAST APPROACHING S1 OPENER

BIG BROTHER 2014 TKM WITH THE TKM NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS JUST GETTING UNDERWAY, TKM/S1 SCHOLARSHIP WINNER MATT ENGLAND REVEALS THE FINAL PREPARATIONS FOR HIM AND HIS KART.

Just two weeks away from Matt’s first event in the S1 championship, the preparation, excitement (and pressure) is building on every level.

Matt has been working carefully through a test programme with the emphasis on learning rather than simply out and out club racing.

Last time out at Shenington he took a podium and was only two hundredths off fastest lap. “Having said goodbye to my Tony Kart, my new Tal-Ko Veloce kart is looking good,” says Matt. “After our first outing at Shenington I was feeling good about it, and now after our second event the confidence is certainly well up.”

Because the first round of S1 is at Shenington, Matt’s local circuit, it can provide an added degree of confidence; he knows it well and

be taking the caravan and they have been through all the tools, equipment and spares to make sure they have everything in good shape for Matt’s step into the top level series. “As a family we have all worked through the process that will be needed, starting with loading up on Wednesday night before setting out Thursday. Once at the track and set up, then the number one priority for me will be walking the track probably more than once.”

That walk allows Matt to study the kerbs and run off areas, understand the ones that can be cut and the ones to avoid. It is far better to understand all of that at walking pace rather than smack into a hard kerb and risk damaging the kart and set up.

“With Friday morning we are into testing, learning, fine-tuning and

from scratch. “With my family we have been planning our year very carefully to give us maximum test time at each circuit” continues Matt. “So we know we have to arrive there the day before to get set up and ready to hit the track first thing in the morning to gain every bit of experience we can.”

“We will do the research before we go and make use of Alan Turney’s expert knowledge and tips on all other circuits. And once we are there we know that we must not listen to paddock gossip, which can sometimes be very unhelpful. Instead we must stick to our test programme.”

The Englands have recently bought a new pop-up awning to use at circuits where they won’t

visiting but in addition I realise that being ultra fit is very important. So I’ve bought some weights and have been working hard on those to build up core strength and arm muscles. I’m also a bit of a BMX fan so I have been putting in plenty of time on my bike which is also great for all round strength.

The nice thing is it is a lot more fun than pumping weights!”

Mentally Matt knows he has to tune his mind to the long game. It is vital to get a good grid position from qualifying, so that’s his first target. “I know I have got to do that using my head and knowing exactly when my tyres will be at their best for that one perfect lap.

Then there’s the matter of making sure there are no karts in front to lose me time.”

We have been planning our year very carefully to give us maximum test time at each circuit... we have to arrive there the day before to get ready to hit the track checking our pace against the perceived experts to learn where we need to be stronger. And we need to work on the change of set up required to first set a top qualifying time and then the best route for race pace.” ”Looking at the paperwork of the series we recognise that it is going to be vital to be fully aware of all the regulations concerning tyre storage, timed qualifying etc that we have not previously been involved in to the same level.”

“And then of course there is me.

I have been studying everything I can on the tracks we will be

“When it comes to the heats I have got to remember that finishing in a good position is much better than trying a silly move to gain a place and ending up in the tyres. And of course with two finals once again I need to score well every time. I want to do well, I want to win, but again sometimes better to take a podium than risk a crash. Well that’s the theory, we’ll just have to see if I can live up to my plans.

So heading for Shenington and the first round, and with a new TAG engine to try too. It’s going to be great. Can’t wait!”

JOHN HOYLE

MOVING ONon Moving

With several topics on the table, some of them not

what one would exactly refer to as good news, we met Super One Series organizer John Hoyle who makes a point on the current state of the national karting scene.

REPORT S.MURTAS / PHOTOS C.WALKER

VROOM UK

The opening round of the Super One MSA Series provided the perfect setting to shed a light on few downbeat items on the agenda. In a sequence of more or less unpredictable official notes, the MSA British KF Junior Championship, the MSA National Comer Cadet Championship, and the brand new Rotax Academy had to be dropped from the original schedule.

But first things first, John Hoyle is eager to set the record straight on the cancellation of the MSA British KF Junior Championship.

KF DOOMSDAY

“You see, after trying to have the international KFJ drivers involved, and realizing we only had 8 registered drivers (5 of which are racing abroad) we had to take the decision of cancelling the KFJ Championship,” says Hoyle. “This is a clear indication that the market is not really there, and time has just shown us that the KF concept has not been successful at national level.”

Sad to say, but the call to drop KF Junior from Super One Series program and British Championship status took few people – if any – by surprise. Dwindling numbers in recent years, and a KF category that suffered the same destiny in

2013, were as clear a sign as you can get.

And if the CIK needed further proof of the demise of the KF concept at national level, this was it.

Great Britain, the land that produced last year’s World and European Champions – Tom Joyner in KF and Lando Norris in KFJ – and a total of 3 World titles (1 KF and 2 KF2/KF3) and 8 European titles (5 KF3/KFJ and 3 KF2/KF) in the course of KF racing troubled history, had to surrender all hopes of hosting any KF competition at national level when as few as 8 drivers entered the MSA British KFJ Championship.

EVERLASTING LEGACY

Twenty years since Ayrton Senna’s fatal accident, we pay tribute to the most revered, iconic driver motorsport has even known with Terry Fullerton and Mike Wilson, two karting legends that challenged him in the five years of his experience at international level on the kart circuit across Europe.

REPORT S. MURTAS / PICTURES VROOM ARCHIVE, ACTUALFOTO, SUTTON, IAME

Twenty years have gone by since that hot day in May when the legend, the most adored driver of modern Formula 1, Ayrton Senna died in a terrible accidental at the Tamburello corner in Imola. Twenty years during which people have gone on talking, writing and remembering him almost as if wanting to exorcise the sad memory of that accident, trying to remove it as if he has never gone.

We too would like to pay homage to the driver and the man with the two outstanding fellows that knew him best and challenged him in his karting days, when he was training on karting circuits across Europe to become a racing Legend. An international career that spanned from 1978 to 1982 – five World Championships that always eluded him leaving a bitter taste – which gave him the chance to compete with the best drivers, the ones that made his skill stand out in what he himself defined as “the purest form of motorsport.”

Very unfortunate was the course of events in the heats for Babington. After finishing 1st and a 2nd place, he had to retire in the last heat with a mechanical problem. De Conto, his toughest opponent, was the only one winning two heats to start the prefinal from pole. Right behind him, Lennox-Lamb took a heat win and some consistent top results to join the Birel driver on the front row, while Xen de Ruwe stepped

In the prefinal De Conto and LennoxLamb were the protagonists, but both had to deal with Thonon. The Belgian had a great start putting the duo under pressure. With the Belgian fading, the leading duo raced in close contact until De Conto tried a last dash with two corners to go, resulting in both getting off the track.

JADE KART KZ1

TAKING IT TO THE BIG GUYS PHOTOS C.WALKER

BEST OF TWO KINDS

With KZ1 the only class left to run for the MSA British Championship title besides Cadet, and numbers holding steadily and hopefully growing as more seniors get conquered by the excitement of gearbox racing, we take a closer look at Jade 014A model for KZ1, a very original chassis that is taking the category by storm.

Designed and developed by experienced driver Scott Allen, son of Jade Kart Managing Director Mark, the Jade 014A was outstanding in its early outings at Shenington clubs meetings, and proved unbeatable also at the SuperOne opener held at the Midlands circuit taking pole in official qualifying and winning all but one sessions, the two Finals included. Let’s take a look at the main characteristics of the Jade 014A. 68

VROOM UK

The new Jade KZ1 kart is completely different from the normal run of the mill CIK homologated chassis, and it’s the first time that such a design has been successfully adapted to CIK regulations and to take the CIK bodywork. Most CIK karts are either parallel rail or A frames, but this draws upon many historic designs such as the Dino kart of the early nineties and typical British 250cc geared kart designs from F1 and also from PVP. So it is a cross between such a 250 Superkart Div 1 or 2 chassis, which would be a longer wheelbase with modifications to make it more similar to a normal kart, featuring for instance the bearing hangers, the normal stub axles with camber/ caster adjustment, the same as

the Jade KGP class karts. The 014A model is made from the same tube as the other Jade karts, it’s sourced from the UK but unlike the chassis of most manufacturers the Jade 014A model is brazed, not TIG welded.

The bodywork and brake are standard Italian parts, but all the rest is self manufactured at the Edge Hill-based factory near Banbury, just a few miles from the Shenington circuit.

Frank Wrathall (Touring Car winner and previously a Ginetta champion) had success with a slightly similar design on an F1 kart in the Super ICC category in Formula Kart Stars, but it couldn’t take the new bodywork.

The advantage of the 014A model design is its consistency over the race and the simplicity of set up and race. “For instance, at the Super One at Shenington all my laps were within one and half tenths except two when I made a slight mistake” says Scott. “Our longer wheelbase version has already won in the 210 National class this year. We only started the idea in December, so we have had to do quite a lot of testing before finalising the design for the MSA registration.”

Unipro Unigo 05 Series

Vroom uk

Following a three-year development period, the to be yours. Unipro’s latest data UniGo 05 Series was acquisition UniGo 05 series conceived as a further improvement of the very features the latest in technology, successful UniGo 03 software and materials. Four series, using the latest new models (3005, 5005, 6005, technology yet keeping 8005) that provide for all types of the high quality standards Unipro is known for, such driving experience, from hobby to as the aluminum cases in professional racing. its top products.

Report S.Murtas / Photos D.Pastanella As a first novelty, Unipro introduced the 3005 system, mostly aimed at hobby drivers and the vast leisure market. On this system you can connect two temperature sensors, speed and revs, you can pick up the laptimes and all the data can easily be downloaded with a USB cable. Included in the kit, also a brand new PC software, completely different compared to that of the 03 Series. During our meeting in Lonato at the Winter Cup, Unipro owner Mogens Jessen explained the main features of the UniGo 05 Series.

It’s ready, it’s out and it’s waiting

Why did you change both hardware and software in your 05 Series…

“First of all, I would like to point out for our customers that the very successful 6003 system, a bedrock of our production line, will continue to exist. Why changing both hardware and software? Because we felt it was necessary. As technology develops fast, we found better solutions for the various different functions of our systems. When we started developing our 03 series, we soon realized that starting from scratch would have been much more effective, less costly and potentially granting a better product than updating the existing system. For instance, in the 05 Series all cables are completely

different and contribute greatly to the improvement of our new line of data acquisition systems.”

The second model is the 5005 system, which features the same functions as the 3005 but can be adapted to have more sensors by using an expansion box. Also, to download the data, a USB cable is no longer necessary, as you can simply connect the Unipro USB flash on the back of the display, push one button and save all data in it.

The third model is the 6005 system, with the same functions as the 5005 system plus the built-in GPS and display backlight.

“All three models are standalone systems, which means that you can buy only the system and you connect the sensors in the back side of the display. And if you want to have more sensors in the 5005 and 6005, you can do that by purchasing an expansion box.”

The top model of Unipro’s new data acquisition systems line is the 8005.

Differently from the other systems, the 8005 system has only one cable connected to the display and therefore requires an expansion box. With built-in GPS and barometer, as well as many other features, the UniGo 8005 is going to be the system of choice of the professional kart drivers, also completely customizable with the colours, logos and graphics of each team.

“With our distribution network in more than 50 countries, the new UniGo 05 Series line will be a big success.

S1 CIRCUIT OF THE MONTH ROWRAH

ATTACK

THE TRACK

Second of our trips around the circuits that will host the Super One Series in 2014. After visiting series opener Shenington Kart Track, we move to Rowrah - beautifully set inside an old stone quarry - with 2013 Super One Senior Max champion Sean Babington, who explains how to get it right on this exciting, technical circuit. Sean’s key word: attack all corners!.

THE CHAMP’S GUIDE Tricks At Rowrah you will have to be quite aggressive with your corner entry speed, yet smooth at the same time, and attack all the corners hard as it’s a very narrow, slippery track.

a lot of confidence in yourself and the kart to be fast through it, you will need to be committed coming into this turn and try to keep your minimum speed as high as possible.

Secrets Through the first chicane, you will need to be very confident and keep your steering to a minimum as you need to take a lot of curb through the second and third part of it.

Where to overtake The best overtake on the track for me is into the second to last corner. As you come down the hill before this turn you will be able to turn into the right early as you don’t need to worry about getting the kart set up for the next corner; as the driver ahead does, get back over, drive straight for the next corner early and make sure you slow the kart down enough so that he can’t get the cut back.

Dodgy spots The first chicane! This is a very tough corner and it takes a lot to get it perfect. If there were one corner to learn first, this would be the one to start on as it is the hardest of the track, it takes

S.O.S. KART INSTRUCTIONS FO SECURITY CHECK, WHAT TO DO BEFORE HITTING THE TRACK

Photo 1. Check the condition of the pin that joins the brake pedal to the chassis every now and then to see if there is any sign of wear, clean and lubricate with grease of spray for chains.

Photo 2. Velcro strap prevents the rapid joints of rod and safety cable from coming accidentally undone.

Photo 3.

Make sure that the nut here is tightened just enough that helps to prevent the braking distributor from moving under the effect of vibrations.

This month we are going to see what needs checking before you actually sit behind the steering wheel...

When we go to the track it is important to be able to count on a reliable kart, which guarantees good fast performance, but also adequate standards of safety, before thinking about 76

VROOM UK

pure performance, let’s see what must checked to make sure that our kart is safe and no harm will befall us.

Let’s start with the braking system…

Starting from the pedal we must check that the nut that locks it to the chassis is perfect and locked properly, (photo 1) making sure that the bar that connects it to the pump is fixed properly

and also the safety cable: in this case a tear clamp wards off the risk of the two rapid fixing pins coming accidentally undone. (photo 2) Now, on to braking distribution; here too, check that the hollow rod is fixed properly and that counter-nuts are tightened properly.

Also Check that the nut underlined in the photo is sufficiently tight so as to stop the distributor

from “moving about” and changing braking balance “when it likes”. (photo 3) On other distributors the “stop/clutch” function can be controlled by springs or other devices: making sure that these parts carry out their function correctly.

Check that there aren’t any oil drips coming from the pump and calliper and, that there is the right amount o oil in the pump tanks and that the colour isn’t like that of the oil in the van after 30,000 km…

On the callipers, check that the screws that act as stops for the pads are there, in perfect conditions and with safety split pin (a piece of wire is just as good), and that the stop screws are well fixed (here the thread stopper is a must), and the same applies for the screws that fix chassis/ spindles are there and well locked. The same applies for those that join the two semi-callipers together. (photo 4 and 5) Check that the tubes are placed correctly and that there are no risks of contact with asphalt or any of the rotating elements.

Let’s go on to the steering elements: check that the screws nuts that fix the steering wheel are all there and firmly locked (here you must have a thread lock), the same applies to the screw that fixes the steering support of the steering column. (photo 6)

FOR USE ... AND MUCH MORE!

BY REV

Photo 4 and 5.

Here we see some screws that need to be checked on the brake calliper. The split pins can also be replaced by a piece of wire.

Photo 6.

Screws that fix the steering wheel must be tightly fixed and the use of some thread lockis fundamental. Check to see that the clamp and cable register of the clutch are well locked and that the clutch lever when warm always has some allowance. Also check that the screw that locks steering wheel support to the steering column.

Photo 7.

There must be 2/3 clearance between bushing and steering column.

As we are in this area, if it’s a KZ, check that the clutch cable clamp and register are locked well and that the clutch has some free play on the cable even when hot (this is something not to be overlooked because when the clutch heats up lever allowance diminishes, and if there is no free play it could cause clutch skid with consequent “baking” in hardly any time.)

If you have a KF with brake master cylinder on the steering wheel, make

sure that all the nuts are well fixed, that there aren’t any oil leaks and that the position of the lever is the best for us.

Now let’s go down along the steering column and make sure that the bushing underlined in the photo (photo 7) has 2/3 mm free play and that the grubscrews are fixed properly.

A bit further down and we find the screws that fix the arms to the steering wheel: check that everything is ok,

check the uniball lock nut too and while you are at it, check the area around the bearing that is in the lower part of the steering column. (photo 8) Check that the spindle nut is locked properly, and likewise for the nuts on wheels and hubs, antibead breaker included. (photos 9 and 10) Now let’s proceed with checking the components that might compromise the performance and reliability of our kart…

There must be water in the cooling system (and obviously petrol in the tank.), but it is important to also check to see in what state the pipes are, their flow and the cable ties that fix the various pipes (engine, radiator and pump). (photo 11) See that the water-pump belts are in their seat and in good conditions, and that the engine and radiator warm up homogenously:
