AUSSIE MAKE A STRONG START IN NEW ORLEANS

Twelve Australians are this week in action at the 2013 Rotax Max Challenge Grand Finals at the NOLA Motorsports Park in New Orleans, USA.

Practice for the event started on Tuesday (local time is 17 hours behind AEDT) with several Australians making an impressive start to their campaigns.

Each driver had three sessions on the circuit throughout the day, the first of which wasn’t timed, with each category split into odd and even groups.

Live timing from the event is available throughout the week here (link: http://live2013.kart-data.com/RGF/)

Live streaming and other associated videos will also be available throughout the week here (http://rgf-2013.kart-data.com/)
