Press Release – KartSport New Zealand
Top Auckland karter Graeme Smyth was back to his best at the second round of this year’s Giltrap Group ProKart Series at Rotorua over the weekend.
With the return to the popular annual KZ2-based series of Auckand-based international Daniel Bray, as well as Smyth’s multiple ProKart Series winning teammate Ryan Grant dominating the headlines last week, Smyth was very much able to run ‘under the radar’ heading into the meeting.
However, after splitting Grant and Rnd 1 series winner Mat Kinsman to claim the second quickest lap time in qualifying on Saturday morning it was Smyth who very much dominated proceedings, winning the first two KZ2 class heat races – from Grant, Bray, Kinsman and young gun Nathan Crang in the first, then Grant, Kinsman. Bray and Jackson Rooney in the second – on Saturday, then the final (fourth) heat as well as both the Pre-Final and Final on Sunday.

Over the past two weekends KartSport New Zealand officials and club members have successfully run major regional meetings in Invercargill, Dunedin and Wellington under a mix of Levels 1, 2 and 3 but it has been hard work and serious compromises have had to be made.
