Tony Kart Junior Racing Team wins WSK Euro Cup in KF2 and KF3

With the KF2 drivers’ title already settled, Paul Spencer’s Tony Kart Junior Racing Team had gone
into the concluding round of the WSK championship in a relaxed, but focused, frame of mind.

“Although Ben (Cooper) had already won the championship at Zuera in September, second place in
the points was still up for grabs and I really wanted us to win the Euro Cup in KF2 and KF3,” Paul said.

In the pre-final, the team’s trio of Cooper, Matteo Beretta and Chris Lock finished in 5th, 6th and 7th to
score an impressive haul of points ahead of the main final.

Cooper would end his year as it had begun - with a trophy. Runner up at La Conca in the opening
round back in February, Ben returned to the podium at Lonato with an excellent third place. Lock
delivered another mature performance to take the chequered flag in 6th position, which also secured
the vice-champion’s title for him and the Euro Cup for the Tony Kart Junior squad. Unfortunately, a
first lap collision deprived Beretta of a chance to improve his standing in the championship points.

In the Junior class, Carlos Sainz signed-off his karting career with 3rd place overall in the
championship after another solid weekend. Finishing just out of the points in the pre-final, the ‘young
matador’ as he is known in Spain, fought his way up the order in the main final to net 13th on the road,
but 3rd overall in the points table.

His Brazilian team-mate, Guilherme Silva completed his first season in European competition with a
brace of top ten finishes in the two finals – good enough for an excellent 6th place overall in the
championship.

Speaking from the historic circuit, located near the southern tip of Lake Garda, Paul Spencer said “I’m
absolutely delighted! This has been a fantastic end to the season. For Ben and Chris to finish 1st and
2nd in KF2 and for the Tony Kart Junior Racing Team to win the Euro Cup in the two categories we
compete in, is just superb. It is testimony to all the hard work that everyone has put in throughout the
season - the drivers, the mechanics, and the guys back at our base in England. This has been
another great year; I’m very happy and would like to thank everyone who has contributed to our
success.”

He added, “I would also like to wish all the very best to Carlos, who is now making the move to cars.
He’s a super driver and undoubtedly has a very big future ahead of him”.
