Round Two of the Australian Kart Championship presented by Jayco and Castrol EDGE kicked off with some fast paced action during practice around the Monarto Kart Circuit in South Australia today.

Local driver Jonathan Mangos set the fastest time of 42.657 seconds in the KZ2 class. The South Australian edged out his BirelART team-mate Joshua Smith by 0.037 seconds around the 1020-metre circuit.

Third fastest was Round One fastest qualifier Troy Woolston.

Another local driver to set the pace in his respective class of KF2 was reigning South Australian Champion Josh Tynan. The Energy Corse Australia driver was three-tenths of his nearest rival across the five practice sessions throughout the day.

In the X30 class it was the Victorian siblings of Leigh and Jordan Nicolaou who will lead the field out for qualifying tomorrow after setting the fastest and second fastest times respectively during practice today.

Justin Francis was the pacesetter in KA1 while Bradley Jenner stopped the clocks the quickest in the KA TaG class.

Tomorrow’s action will begin with practice for the three underage classes – KA12, KA Junior and KF3 – ahead of qualifying and the opening two rounds of heat races.

The finals, that double as the 2015 South Australian Championships for the respective eight classes, will be contested on Sunday.
