Jeffreys Bay youngster Sebastien Blignaut (Roos Kart Team) has had a brilliant season so far and currently enjoys a six point lead in the very competitive Mini ROK class while local star Jack Moore (Xtreme/Puma/Fleet Dynamics) sits in joint first position in the OK-J class tied on points with Amani Kinyua.  Another local Aashay Nagura (RPM Motorsports) is currently in twenty-third place in the National standings and will no-doubt be hoping to capitalise on the home track advantage that he’ll enjoy this weekend

Jack Moore (Xtreme/Puma/Fleet Dynamics) takes a break from the VW Rookie Cup saloon car series this weekend to hopefully improve his standings in the OK-N class where he is currently in seventh place and Caleb Moss (Roos Kart Team) makes his first appearance in the OK-J National Championship after having come so close to clinching the National Mini ROK title last year.

An added attraction to the on-track action is the inclusion of the invitational MSR4-stroke carts, where a whole host of Algoa Kart Club members will be able to show their mettle on the big stage.

Entrance to the event is free & spectators are urged to come and support the twenty-five plus vendors and exhibitors that will be set up in carnival style to bring a unique dimension to the AKMC National event. There are also licensed bar facilities available at the iconic track that is situated next to Rover Motorcycle Circuit on Victoria Drive. Qualifying gets under way 10am on Saturday with the first race set to start at 11:30am.
