Selwyn Times Wednesday July 13 2022 24 SPORT Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz Zach on fast track to karting success • By Chris Barclay THERE ARE untold twists and turns to come when an aspiring motorsport star is just 11 years-old, though Prebbleton’s Zach Tucker is confidently approaching a fast track to success. Zach will represent New Zealand at the annual ROK Cup Superfinal in October, where he will emulate the likes of formula 1 champions Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel by racing at Italy’s spiritual home of karting. The Medbury School year 7 student, who started racing as a six-year-old, learned last Monday he can start doing homework on one of Europe’s highly rated circuits for future F1 drivers, South Garda Karting. Zach earned the right to represent New Zealand by defending his Vortex Mini ROK national title against 28 rivals over a fourrace schedule in Wellington last month. “It will be an amazing experience, it’ll be quite something and quite frightening I imagine,” said Zach’s mother, Missie Tucker. Zach is supplied with a kart and engine for the four days of racing while KartSportNZ covers the entry fee and contributes towards travel and food expenses. However, Tucker said about 20,000 Euro ($33,000) was SUPERCARS DREAM: Junior karting star Zach Tucker hopes to eventually race Supercars in Australia. required to boost Zach’s campaign, by accessing factory team mechanics and technology. “For the actual main race we’re going to have to pay to be part of a team to give Zach the best chance, apparently that’s what most people do,” she said. Zach, who won the 2021 Vortex Mini ROK crown at the familiar surrounds of the Kart Sport Canterbury Race Track, preparations for Italy includes overseas experience in Australia, where he will compete in the City of Melbourne Titles on August 6-7. Coached by Matthew Hamilton of WKS Kartstore, Zach’s next assignment is driving for Medbury in the national schools’ championships in Invercargill on Friday and Saturday. Zach, who also plays rugby and basketball, goals for next year are winning a third straight Vortex Mini ROK title, race in Italy again and then step up in class to Junior Rotax karting. Although South Garda Karting, situated near Lonato del Garda between Venice and Milan, is considered a breeding ground for the next generation of F1 drivers, long-term it is not the pinnacle for Zach. “I would like to be a Supercars driver like Shane Van Gisbergen,” he said. However, for now Zach, who turns 12 in December, is content to master karting, a pursuit which succeeded an interest in dirt bikes. “I really wanted to have a go at karting. I love the competition and challenge of trying to be perfect every lap. I love mixed grid racing,” he said. Zach has justified the switch with a string of schools, South Island and national titles, including the Goldstar Series trophy previously won by leading New Zealand motorsport drivers Scott Dixon and Scott McLaughlin. Hamilton was confident Zach had the tools and drive to go far. “In a short time he has proven himself time and time again and if not for disruptions (in 2020) due to Covid I firmly believe he would already be a three-time New Zealand champion,” he said. “I coached Marcus Armstrong (Ferrari Driver Academy member and current formula 2 driver). He won his first title when he was the same age as Zach and I have no doubt Zach has what it takes to succeed. Over the past three seasons he has been almost unbeatable.” MID WINTER XMAS DEALS $13.99 EACH $23.99 EACH $24.99 EACH $25.99 EACH $29.99 EACH $39.99 EACH $10.99 EACH $12.99 EACH Jim Beam; CC 440ml 4.8% (inc zero); 355ml 7% all 4pk cans $15.99 EACH Major Major 10pk can range Cruiser 7% 12pk can range $15.99 EACH $24.99 EACH ODD Company 10pk can range $15.99 EACH NEW FLAVOUR $16.99 EACH Jack Daniel’s (incl zero 375ml) 4.8% Scapegrace 330ml 10pk can ranges $22.99 $26.99 EACH JB Gold; CC Premium 250ml 7% (incl Zero) 12pk cans EACH $36.99 EACH Tui Vodka Soda (ex bourbon) 7% 250ml 18pk cans $39.99 EACH $38.99 EACH $40.99 EACH Jim Beam Canadian Club (incl Zero) 18pk 330ml cans Long White 15pk bottle range $40.99 EACH Jacobs Creek (ex Sparkling range) Montana Classic ranges $43.99 EACH Wolf Blass Yellow Label range (ex PN) Villa Maria Cellar Selection,Esk Valley (ex PN,Syrah,Grenache) ranges Taylors Estate range Allan Scott (ex PN) range The Ned range (ex PN) Pepperjack range Seagers (incl lime) Ivanov 1L Larios Original 1L Canadian Club 8yr Old 700ml Malibu Kahlua (incl salted caramel) 1Ltrs Jameson Jameson Cold Brew Absolut; Beefeater flvrd ranges all 700ml Johnnie Walker Red 1L $44.99 EACH $44.99 EACH $44.99 $52.99 $59.99 EACH $60.99 EACH $77.99 EACH EACH EACH 3 FOR $12.00 $12.99 EACH $13.99 EACH $19.99 EACH Finlandia 1L Jack Daniel’s Jagermeister Jagermeister Cold Brew 700ml Coruba (incl Gold) 1L Jim Beam Canadian Club (incl spiced) Larios 12; Rose; Citrus 1Ltrs Johnnie Walker Black 700ml Mt Gay Eclipse Jagermeister Haymans Gin 1Ltrs The Glenlivet Founders Reserve Caribbean Reserve 700mls Roku 1L; Maker’s 46 Basil Haydens 750ml Legent 700ml Kingfisher Strong 7.2% 500ml cans BRB 6pk can range Mac’s 6pk can range (incl cider / stunt double) Tiger; Tiger Crystal; Crystal Ultra Low Carb 12pk bottles $23.99 $23.99 EACH EACH $25.99 EACH $26.99 EACH $26.99 EACH $28.99 EACH $29.99 EACH $36.99 EACH $39.99 EACH $41.99 EACH Haagen 15pk bottles Orchard Thieves 12pk range Asahi 12pk bottles Lion Red; Waikato; Speights Summit 15pk bottles 1147 WEST COAST RD, WEST MELTON 03 347 8460 Monteith’s (classic & batch brewed ex cider) 330ml 12pk range THIRSTY LIQUOR STORES 45 SOUTH TERRACE, DARFIELD 03 317 9499 Steinlager 15pk bottles Heineken 15pk bottles 114 RAILWAY TERRACE, RAKAIA 03 302 7973 Tui; Export Gold; Extra Low Carb; DB Draught 24pk bottles Carlsberg 24pk bottles Export 33 24pk bottles Promotion period between 1/7/2022 to 31/7/2022.
