Rockpress Announced as Telecast Sponsor of Australian Superkart ChampionshipPosted by Mark Jones, 2 August 2010, 5:23 PM |
The Australian Superkart Championship will be decided within view of a nationwide television audience. Thanks to telecast sponsors Rockpress, the second round of the championship will be screened on SBS ONE as part of Speedweek.
"We believe it's definitely a category worth sponsoring," said Rockpress' Phil Silcock. "We're pleased to sponsor the telecast package and pleased to be presenting the best superkarts in the country. ... We're really thrilled to be involved."
Round two of the championship will be part of round 7 of the Shannons Nationals Motor Racing Championships on August 14/15 at Morgan Park. "We're looking forward to intense battles across all three classes at the championship finale," Silcock said. "I think the new circuit will challenge everybody on an equal basis and the driver who can adjust the fastest will do the best."
This is the first appearance of superkarts on television since the non-championship Rockpress Pacific Superkart Challenge went to air last August.
"We are most appreciative of Rockpress' support of both state and national level Superkart racing," said Superkarts Australia Chairman Clint Brown. "The telecast will help bring Superkart racing to a new national audience not neccessarily familiar with the category."
