Thursday April 13 2023 3 IN FORM: Christchurch karter Zach Tucker (left) has become the first driver ever to win the Mini ROK national title three times in a row, while South Island champion Caleb Cross won the Rotax Light class. PHOTOS: VICKY JACK/KARTSPORT NZ Karters shine at NZ sprint champs Christchurch’s Zach Tucker has stolen the limelight with commanding victories at the KartSport New Zealand national sprint championships in Palmerston North. The 12-year-old has become the first driver to earn three New Zealand championships in a row in Vortex Mini ROK, a key development class. Nine categories were decided at the championships, which attracted over 180 karters from throughout the country to the Manawatu & TRC Toyota Raceway over Easter, marking the biggest event in more than a decade. Tucker, in his final year at Medbury School, was in supreme form throughout, under the guidance of the WKS Kartstore team in Christchurch. He was the fastest in qualifying, and won all three heats, the pre-final and the final ahead of clubmate Henry Fisher and Aryan Lala from Palmerston North. There were three red flag stoppages, but Tucker was able to control the restarts to dominate. Tucker’s third straight title in the class betters the previous two in a row won by US-based pro racer Jacob Douglas, Matthew Penrose and Supercars star Fabian Coulthard. Hometown karter Michael McCulloch, from the N-Zed Motorsport team, drove his Parolin kart to victory in the DVS Senior class after winning one heat and finishing on the podium in the other two. With high-flying Ayrton Williams disqualified post-race from second, McCulloch won the title from Christchurch pair, Dylan Jessop and Chris Cox. The DVS Junior class was dominated by Tauranga’s Blake Corin who won two of the three heats, and the pre-final. He was threatened early in the final by North Island champion Ashton Phipps from Auckland and later by Christchurch’s Izaak Fletcher, who had the fastest lap time on the way to runner-up spot. Marlborough’s Arthur Broughan was third. The Rotax Light class attracted 27 starters with the bunched fields providing plenty of tussles and bangs. Marlborough’s William Exton won two heats and the pre-final to start off the front for the early lead. South Island champion Caleb Cross, who won the opening heat, pushed to the lead with Exton dropping back. That promoted McCulloch, chasing a second title on the day, up to second place with another local, Jackson Rooney into third. In the tightest of battles at the front, Cross held on to claim the honours and further reward for Matt Hamilton’s Christchurchbased team. Rooney and Bewley, who crossed the line third and fourth would both suffer from pushback bumper penalties, promoting Brad Hewson to the number three spot. The Cadet ROK class is subject to an appeal hearing, with Christchurch nine-year-old Iver Spence the provisional winner after winning all three heats. As well as New Zealand titles, the championships were the penultimate rounds of the Hampton Downs NZ Racing Academy KartStars Series, which offers $50,000 in prizes, and the ROK Cup, with entry to the ROK Superfinal in Italy at stake. Updated points in the Kart- Stars Series and ROK Cup will be announced this week as both competitions reach a conclusion at the final round in Rotorua next month.
