Reigning Junior British Kart Champion, Jack Harvey, heads to the southern Italian circuit of Sarno next weekend (March 16-18) for the opening round of the World Series of Karting (WSK) Championship.
The factory Maranello Kart racer, from Bassingham in Lincolnshire, goes into the event in the perfect frame of mind after clinching his first major victory on European soil last week at the Margutti Trophy. That win sets him up as one of the guys to beat in the KF3 (JICA) class of the WSK series.
“I can’t wait to get out to Sarno and start the WSK Championship,” said
Jack. “It’s another brand new circuit for me to learn, but everything
has gone really well whenever I’ve driven at a new track so far this
season.”
“We went to the Margutti Trophy last week and were immediately quick
and then took victory in the final. I think I can win again at Sarno.
I’m confident that everything around me, the team and kart, is good
enough, but we’ll have to see how the weekend goes. I definitely want
to take victory again though,” he added.
The start of the WSK series signals a hectic point in Jack’s 2007
season, with his other main campaign, the Italian Open Masters
Championship, getting underway at the same circuit just a week later.
“The Italian Masters is going to be a hard series to race in,” said
Jack. “It’s the championship that everyone wants to be in and that
everyone wants to win. The WSK is definitely going to be tough too.”
“Both series are pretty much back-to-back between now and the middle of
the summer, so it’s going to be hard work for everyone involved. The
start of the season has come around really quickly, but I can’t wait to
get started,” he said.
Jack will head out to Italy at the end of next week and will take to
the circuit on Friday for free practice, with qualifying and the racing
getting underway on Saturday and Sunday.
