24-hour kart enduro action at Laserfiche this weekend

The Prokart Africa 24-hour endurance event will take place at Laserfiche Raceway on December 1 and 2.

24-7 Race Fuels will be the official fuel partner for this year’s race.

“Having a fuel partner with a reliable and consistent product is key to ensuring a successful and competitive race. With fuel being supplied to all entered teams from a single source, this ensures the playing field is as even as it could possibly be when it comes to fuel,” says Sheldon Halgreen of the Prokart SSS committee.

“Having seen first-hand the lack of consistency and technology in many petroleum and diesel racing products locally available in South Africa, 24-7 Race Fuels was established to fill a niche in the motorsport market through the development and manufacture of high quality racing fuels with world class leading performance tailored to specific individual applications,” says Sean Rose of 24-7 Race Fuels.

This prestigious event will be broadcast live together with professional commentary provided by The Voice of Choice, Greg Moloney and his team. There will be team and driver interviews, live timing and more.

Noscotek of Kempton Park has entered two karts into this event and will compete for top honours, having won the 12-hour event as well as the Prokart SSS Championship in 2017.

“The Prokart Africa 24-hour endurance event is the first of its kind in Africa and will showcase what South Africa has to offer in the four-stroke karting category,” says Halgreen.

“South African karters have often had to save up a lot of money to attend similar events across our borders, like the Dubai 24-hour, attended by Formula 1 greats like Fernando Alonso, among others. The organisation and level of competition is phenomenal and the support has been overwhelming. With partners like 24-7 Race Fuels, MG Tires, ATR, British 24 Hour and many more, we are very excited to see all the action happening on track this weekend.”

The 24-hour Karting Series in Europe has sponsored a free entry into the British 24-hour in Middlesbrough, UK from August 2-4, 2019. This amazing prize for the winner of the Africa 24-hour will include entry, fuel, kart, mechanics and accommodation for four people.

“Bob Pope himself will be here to hand over the big prize to the winning team. This prize is worth well over R40 000 and we are excited to be partnering with them for this event,” concludes Halgreen.

Prokart SSS is a four-stroke endurance and sprint racing series that promotes affordable and fun racing from ages six to 60+. Splitting the costs of racing among team members makes it very attractive for all who want to get into racing on a tight budget.

The club has nine races every season, with the 24-hour race ending off the year. If you want to find out more, email info@prokartsss.co.za.
