Through the night the track had started to dry up but towards the latter part of the night the 1000m Le Mans track was doused with a bit more rain and during the warm up lap Daniel Young somehow drove straight into the back of Joshua Manser and Jeremy Van Der Merwe which was very odd but in this instance, he was let off with a warning
Our top drivers are heading out for their warmup lap behind the pace kart, the pace kart pulls into pit lane as our first 2 drivers maintain the same pace up the main straight. As they approach the lights, yellows are off and greens are on, its go time! Jay Atman in kart 3 immediately takes the lead going into turn 1, and falls back into second as James Barton soars past him through turn 2.

Welcome back to Kingston Park Raceway for another exciting Friday night of racing here at Kingston Park’s famous Friday Night Challenge. Being the first Friday night challenge on the new Le Mans circuit since it has been re-surfaced there was one thing for sure and that was we were always in for “One Hell Of A Night Out” and almost certainly some fast lap times.
