SMSA Supports FIA Action for Road Safety Each year 1.3 million people are killed on the world's roads and another fifty million are injured, some of them very seriously. For a number of decades, the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile has been implementing actions designed to lead an enhanced level of safety on public roads, as well as on circuits. In support of the United Nations Decade of Action, an initiative which aims to stabilise and then reduce the number of deaths on the world's roads by 2020, the FIA Action for Road Safety was launched. The FIA's Action for Road Safety is unique. It focuses the federation's resources on helping its member clubs around the globe to educate and advocate for safer roads, vehicles and behaviours. It allows the FIA to target motorists, motorsport enthusiasts, young people and governments. The federation's position as the governing body for some of the world's most watched motorsports competitions provide unparalleled access to motorsport enthusiasts of all ages and the opportunity to inform them of the fundamentally important message of road safety.

AutoInc Singapore Karting Championship 2011 (Round 1) Second season of the Singapore Karting Championship (SKC) finally kicked off on 23 April 2011. The new dates was postponed from the original dates of 2-3 April. The new date clashes with the round two of the All Stars Karting (ASK) to be held in Malaysia, Shah Alam Circuit. It is unfortunate and a great pity that Jon has to give ASK a miss! This is the first time Jon is racing with his younger brother, Josh, who just turned nine, two months ago. Despite the second youngest in the cadet category and first time racing, Josh fought his way through, and hung on to the third position throughout the whole race. Jon dominated the whole weekend and won with pure dominance. From Qualifying at pole to Heat 1 and Heat 2, Jon pulled away from the field with more than four seconds. Even in Pre-final and Final, there was never a doubt that any driver will be able to challenge Jon. In the end, both brothers were on the podium to receive their trophies, first and third position respectively! Thank you to all the sponsors, Drakar Racing, Motul and Neuromath Pte Ltd for sponsoring Jon in the entire season of SKC 2011. Jon will do his best to defend his championship title and continue to make his sponsors proud! From tomorrow and for the next three weeks, Jon will be putting all his focus in his studies, preparing and sitting for his school's Semester Assessment 1 examinations. He will return to Kartright on 14 May to race in the Round Two of SKC. Go to www.jonleexh.com to view photos! AutoInc Singapore Karting Championship 2011, Round 1
With a good mix of first time competitiors with last year's contenders, it was an exciting weekend at the Round 1 of the AutoInc Singapore Karting Championship. Find out who our champions are over at the Official Website JAMES PULL’S FIRST EUROPEAN RACE OF 2011
Singapore, 6 April 2011 – After kicking off the Asian karting season, James Pull travelled to Italy for his first European stint of this season, the first round of the Italian CSAI Karting Championship last weekend. Racing in the 60 Mini category at the 1.8-kilometre International Circuit Napoli of Sarno, this was the longest track that he had ever competed in. However, Pull delivered a fantastic performance despite facing stiff competition from a strong European field. “I was very excited about my first European appearance for this year and there was a lot to learn – new team, new chassis, new engine and a new track. I faced a big challenge with the long track and I had to deal with a lot more grip as well,” Pull shared. He added, “I was very happy with the whole trip and I learned so much from the experience. In Italy the field is stronger and more aggressive so I really had to work hard”. Prior to arriving in Naples for the race, Pull travelled to Milan to watch and learn from the World Series Karting (WSK) Master Series round 2 in Casteletto. He then stayed on for a two-day testing with his new European team – Shox Racing Team – under the guidance of 2005 CIK-FIA Karting World Champion Oliver Oakes, along with a new Luxor chassis and new LKE engine. With only one and a half days of testing at Naples, Pull did very well in qualifying on Friday evening where he finished sixth fastest in his group and qualified overall 10th, just 0.286 second off pole position. He even out-qualified the first and second place finishers from the WSK race held in Casteletto the week before. With a race format of two heats and two finals, Pull started Heat 1 in 10th place but his nerves got the better of him and he only managed 16th place. Starting Heat 2 in 16th then, Pull unfortunately got clipped by another driver on the second lap and spun off the track into a ditch. Acting fast, he quickly got out and pushed his kart back onto the track, but significant time was lost and he came in 31st out of the 32 drivers. The combined heats results put Pull in 25th on the starting grid of the first final, but within the first lap, he fought his way to 14th place. He eventually finished the 12km race in 16th place. For the second final, Pull started the 15km nine-lap race in 17th, was up to 11th by lap five, but finally came in 16th as the more experienced drivers came through. Pull’s next race will be back in Asia with Dash Racing at the second round of the All Stars Karting Championship at the Shah Alam Circuit in Malaysia on 24 April. 2010 was Pull’s first time competing in the full season of the Yamaha SL Cup Malaysia and the Asian Karting Open Championship. Eventually finishing second overall in both series, Pull gained tremendous racing experience and he even led both Championships at certain points of the season. He also headed to Italy at the end of the summer as part of his development programme and participated at a WSK Master Series race.
