The race is the last round of the 2009 Open Masters which was held last September in Castelletto di Branduzzo, in the province of Pavia. Massimo Aceto (Righetti Ridolfi driver confirmed for 2010) has just arrived at his new team. Non the less, he finishes the final of the KZ2 category in second place at the wheel of his Gold Kart. Or at least that is what everyone believes..So, Giampaolo Righetti, in that Open Masters race, was the kart a Gold Kart or not? No, the chassis underneath was an Allkart.

Word on the street – Mojo D1′s will be the 2010 Max Jr tire.

15 10 2009

Our sources have just mentioned that Rotax Max Jr may return to the Mojo D1 tire for the World Finals and the 2010 season.

Hopefully we can get more info on this.
