Round 1 China Nationals Matthew was accpeted to compete in the China Nationals this weekend and a quick trip across the border found the team at the X-trem Karting track in Southern China. CKS were able to locate the eqipment to allow Matthew to compete and day 1 was all about learning the track, engine and tire characteristics. An early morning engine blow up put pay to all sesion 2 and was the cause of nervousness for session 3. After we established that the fault lay with a defective low end bush, Matt set about putting in a more aggressive final session session.
