The SODI Vitesse team took to Forest Edge Kart Club for Round 9 of the club championship. The team had three contesting the Inter Rotax category with Warwick Mylum, Nathan Rond and Lomond Willcox, plus one in the Senior Rotax Category with Bobby Rosier.

The heats proved mixed for Mylum who made up numerous places in both Heats One and Three, but Heat Two saw an incident on track result in a loss of places. The combined heat results meant Mylum started 5th for the final. After an impressive start, a penultimate lap incident left Mylum unable to finish and resulting in a DNF. Prior to the incident, Mylum showed his potential and constant improvement.

Rond showed consistency was key across the weekend. With a solid set of Heat results across all three contests, he started 8th for the final. Battling throughout the race, the chequered flag came down and he crossed the line in 5th. Rond displayed his developed race craft and ability to be consistent.

Willcox joined the SODI Vitesse ranks for the first time and impressed immediately bringing home Top Novice, climbing 4 positions in the final and finishing 8th. On his first outing with the team, he demonstrated his ability to push forward and make decisions when it counts.

In Senior Rotax, Bobby Rosier immediately took to the SODI Sigma RS3 chassis and showed its competitiveness on a tough grid. Rosier was never far from the podium positions, with his worst finishing position being P7 after a 8 position climb in Heat 3. Lining up P2 for the final, Rosier took the lead from the first corner and never looked back. Leading by over 2 seconds, a battenburg put a stop to Rosier’s charge, but he never lost sight of the goal. The green flag waved and in a textbook style drive, Rosier lead to the finish line. Not to mention setting purple lap after purple lap. Leading every lap and taking fastest lap, it was a drive to remember.

The team look to Italy, as they compete in the WSK Final Cup at South Garda Karting with Lucas Blantford in the OKJ category.
