Yesterday we opened interesting and promising Karting 2017season with first races - Latvian Karting Open Championship and Pro-Kart Cup Stage 1. We are pleasantly surprised by the young and talented riders, for those who climbed to the other classes in order to further develop their professional growth. As well as the riders who during the winter improved their form and continue to fight and compete in their own, existing classes. At race opening ceremony, to motivate riders, a speech was given by Karting commission and our karting dad - Valdis Brutāns and Madona’s children and youth sports school director Voldemārs Šmugais. In contrast, for musical performances took care of young and talented singer - Nadīna Stirniniece. Many thanks also bushy troop of supporters who had come to support the precursor, or simply watch the intense competition.

Unfortunately, during competition framework was also quite an unpleasant moment. Clash took place on the track and a pretty hard hit DD2M class rider - Jānis Boks who before the new season autocross decided to lead the drills karting track in order to better prepare for the new season. Jānis has six broken ribs, of which two are double fracture. It is also a fractured shoulder blade, and both sides are heavily banged lungs. Sincerely, we wish Jānis a fast recovery and further progress on the track!
