Then in the first heat her rear bumper was smashed off causing her to come in for a mechanical problem, then an almightily accident in heat two as one kart was rammed into the back of Laura’s kart and shot up into her head. Laura was shaken but fortunately had nothing more than a headache. Continue reading

Laura would like to thank Roberto Robazzi and Junior team manager Paul Spencer for the opportunity to race for Tonykart during 2010. She would also like to thank her mechanic Alex Barten who has been fantastic, as were Guy De Nies and Neil Colonel who also did one race each. She is now looking forward to this years races with her new team.
A hot and dusty Ghibili Raceway caused many engines to take in grit through the air filters as everyone went off line in the first heat. Laura was up to 4th in this race but her best engine blew up and she stopped 2 laps from the end.
In the final Laura was taken off by another driver so she had to be content with 9th. She ended up 13th in the WSK World Series.
Laura is unable to race at the World Championship, due to CIK qualification regulations that disallowed most of the Super KF drivers from competing. 3 months is a long time to be out of a kart so Laura has been concentrating on her fitness ready for the next race in Egypt.
