Peter
Hoevenaars and Milan Dontje joins Keijzer Racing
After several years of Rotax Max, both drivers decided to step over
to the KF3 class.
Both Milan and Peter drove the Rotax Max world series last month in
Lecce, on the Zanardi kart. For both drivers the chassis was new and
different from the one they where used to, but both drivers where
saticefied and joined the team.
Milan will
compete in the WSK and European Championship and Peter will also
drive the DKM series.
Where Joey Elkerbout and Jack te Braak tested the Maxter Engines and
compete with it the last races of the season, the team was impressed
by the progress the engine booked during the season and decided to
join forces with HP/Maxter engines and start in 2009 as team with
Maxter.
WSK Series Final Zuera (Spain)
Joey
Elkerbout - His weekend started with promising times in practice.
since he has never drivin at the Zuera track, the team was confident
for a good result. Although the good practice, the qualify was a
little disapointing, 30th overall.
With a 9th, 10th and 12th position in the series, Joey had to start
as 15th in the pre final.
With a great start and a very good race of Joey, he finished as 5th
in the pre final!
The start of the final was not to good, he fell back to the 10th
position. with an incredible end of the final he came back to P6 and
closed the gap with 4th and 5th position. Unfortunatally #4 made a
mistake and took Joey into it and he finished as 8th.
Ramon Kuipers - Missed a little speed to enter the top 10, qualified
as 16th.Although the qualify was not to good, he recovered in the
series, with a 10th position overall.
Because there was no prefinal for the KF1, Ramon finished as 6th in
the finals and scored in his second race a promising top 10 finish.
Nyck de Vries - with a 3rd time in qualify and a very stable serie
finish, he had to start from pole position in the pre final. With
two victories, in both pre and final, Nyck is the new WSK KF3
Champion 2008!
Review World Championship KF1 Just 0.041 between Jack his P2 and pole and he made his point
clear, he came for the titel. With a good first qualify, the second
started the problems. The same problems as almost whole year came
back. Although he switched from IAME Parilla to Maxter Engines, the
devil is stil there. With a seized engine in serie 3, engine failure
in the prefinal and a broken sparkplug in final, it was a weekend to
forget for Jack.
Ramon Kuipers had some ups and down, but made it into the finals.
Although he didn't have the most powerfull engine of the field, he
made it up to an 17th place in the finals. For Ramon this was his
first race on the Zanardi kart, the team is satiesfied with his
result.
For Aleksi it was his first international race after the wintercup
in Lonato, February this year. In the beginning he had some struggle
with the special tyries, but he 'grow' into the weekend. every
session became better and with his 13th position overall in the
final, he was also the first Zanardi kart driver!
Preview World Championship KF1 After being succesfull in several classes, Keijzer Racing didn't
participate in the World Championship KF1. This year Keijzer Racing
will be there for the first time, with 3 drivers.
As already know, Jack te Braak is one of the drivers for Keijzer
Racing in the KF1 and also a contender for a podium position. Just
like in Hahn, Germany, Jack will drive with the HP Race tuned Maxter
Engines.
Not new in the KF1 class, but switch to Keijzer Racing is Ramon
Kuipers. Although he is familiar with the IAME Parilla
engines, it will be his first time on the Zanardi Chassis at the
world championship. Although it will be a difficult task, the
pre-tests we're confident.
The second 'new' driver is Aleksi Mustonen. This Finnish driver has
driven in the past for Maranello and CRG, but due to circumstances
only participate in the Finnish Championship and became second
overall. Last week he tested in Lonato and Parma, you couldn't see
he did not drive international this year at all! Check the CIK-FIA website for the entry list, time table and LIVE

European Championship KF3 Nyck De Vries
had a hard time during the European KF3 Championship held in France,
on the fast circuit of Varennes sur Allier. On his first attempt at
this level of competition, the Dutch driver showed he had the
potential to achieve a good result. Unfortunately, he was very
unlucky during the weekend… read full story >>>
