Euro Rotax Genk
The fourth and final round of the 2007 Rotax Euro Challenge took place at Genk at the end of September with all four champions still to be decided. Brits did well in all four classes with Ben Cooper and Colin Davis crowned champions in Seniors and Masters respectively, while Stephen Tyldesley and Stephen Cobb took the race wins. There were also podiums in Juniors for Luke Varley and DD2 for Tiffany Chittenden. Well done everyone.

Monaco Cup
More British success here too. Max Goff was the unexpected, but deserving, winner of KF3, Tom Barrow was only denied victory in the 4-Stroke Contest by clutch failure, a British driver and sponsor enjoyed success in the Endurance event and Allan McNish starred in the VIP Electric Trophee races.

Is British Best?
The results at Genk and Monaco were just the latest in a superb year for British drivers abroad, but why are we doing so well? We sought the opinions of a number of experts and they came up with some interesting answers as to why British is best. Find out what they had to say starting on page 18.

World Record Shattered
How far do you think you and a team could drive a kart in 24 hours on an outdoor circuit. What kart would you use and at which circuit? Well, in September, Equipe Vitesse shattered the existing record at Teesside Karting on the outskirts of Middlesbrough using a Tonykart Racer EVS fitted with a 5-speed Honda CR125 motocross engine bored out to 140cc. They managed 2056.7km (about 1,278 miles). Could you do better?
