Auckland karter Josh Richmond finished a hard-won sixth in the Iame X30 class Final on his return to the SP Tools Australian Kart Championship presented by Castrol Edge (AKC) at Bolivar in South Australia over the weekend
It was a good result for the talented North Shore-based teenager, the first of a number of resident Kiwi karters to head back across the Tasman to compete in the wake of Governments in both countries easing their strict COVID-19 travel bans under the so-called trans-Tasman ‘bubble.’
Richmond, 17, and in his final year at Auckland’s Westlake Boys’ High School, had a tough start to his weekend, qualifying 18th out of a field of 39 in the popular Iame X30 Senior class which saw him start his first two heats in his allocated Group C from P12 on the grid.
