In Louisville last year, past winner Christian Brooks (GRC Lites), said “I feel astounding… I need to thank my group at Dreyer and Reinbold Racing for giving me an astounding auto. We wound up getting the holeshot in the warmth race, semi, and last, so it wasn’t too difficult to keep the lead after that.”

It should be amazing to see and at MB2 Raceway we’ll be there to support him! Christian Brooks is certainly a great driver and his love for racing started with his seat time at MB2.

ATTN: GO KART DRIVERS AT MB2 RACING – GO KART RACING FLAGS

UNDERSTANDING GO KART RACING FLAGS

Go Kart Racing is an exciting sport but making sure you are safe at high speeds is important. Knowing what the different kart flags mean is an important part of ensuring the safety of all racers and getting the most from your time on track.

We have a team of marshals on the tracks that are there for your safety. Their job is to ensure you have the best racing experience possible. The key importance between racers and the marshals is communication, best shown in the flags.

Each flag has a different meaning that should be obeyed at all times. If you ignore flags you may be disqualified, so it is important that you learn them well.

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT FLAGS & WHAT DO THEY MEAN?

Blue flag – One of the most common flags. This signals that a faster race car is coming up behind you, and you should hold your line and let them pass. Once they are passed you can increase your speed and get racing.

Yellow flag – Caution on the track, reduce your speed and do not pass.

Red flag – This is a very important flag, and it means that the race is being stopped. Stop your kart as safely and as quickly as possible, stay in your kart, and do as instructed by the marshal.

Black flag – You are being disqualified for dangerous racing or failing to adhere to other flags. You need to pull over as directed by the marshal.

Green flag – This signals the start of the race or that the race has resumed.

White flag – This means that you are on the final lap of the race.

Checkered flag – The first one across the line wins, and everyone else needs to slow down because the race is over.

We hope these flags will help give you a full briefing on how to use your kart and how to have a fun and safe race.

CATCHING UP WITH CHRISTIAN BROOKS

MB2 Motorsports driver Christian Brooks is in the middle of his second season on the Red Bull Global Rallycross circuit, competing in the Lites division. Brooks competed as a rookie last season, earning a reputation for being one of the most solid and consistent young talents on the tour, and inspiring many people to believe that he was destined for great things soon. While he finished fifth overall in the standings and never reached the podium at any event, he held his standings position for most of the year and almost never dropped out of the top five despite being one of the youngest drivers on the tour.

Now in his second season and with a new team, Dreyer & Reinbold Racing, Brooks has shot off the line and taken the circuit by storm. Let’s see how the MB2 Motorsports driver has fared thus far.

The season kicked off in Memphis, Tennessee, and from the very first practice, Brooks put the competition on notice, registering the fastest lap at 1:06.970. After qualifying second, Brooks won his second heat comfortably to claim a spot in the semi-final at the event, and a second-place finish there earned him a spot in the final. Brooks drove his best main event to date in the Memphis final, battling it out and claiming his first-ever podium, finishing third, just two seconds behind the race winner.

The series moved to Louisville, Kentucky, where Brooks once again made history. After a blistering practice run where Brooks was once again the fastest driver around the track, Brooks won his second heat and semi-final rounds to advance to the final. In the final, Brooks held off the competition to take the checkered flag and claim his first Red Bull GRC Lites series victory! He did so in resounding fashion, finishing over two and a half seconds better than the second-best racer.

That victory gave him a huge momentum boost in the early going on the season, placing him in the frontrunners of the championship standings.

The third stop came in Thompson, Connecticut, where two events were held on back-to-back days. After once again being the fastest driver in a shortened practice session, but he faced his first major adversity when he was disqualified from the qualifying heats. He didn’t let it deter him, however, and he won his first heat and finished second in his second and semi-final heats. All this led up to another solid final, where Brooks took second place, just 1.8 seconds behind the winner.

The second day appeared to be off to a flying start, but Brooks crashed out and didn’t finish his first heat before finishing third in his second heat. In the semi-final, Brooks once again ran into trouble, and didn’t finish, giving him a rough starting position for the main event of the day. Despite the immense adversity, Brooks still salvaged an excellent finish in third place, his fourth straight podium to start the year.

The series then headed north of the border in to Ottawa, Canada. However, for Brooks, this trip could not end quickly enough. Like the Connecticut race, the Ottawa event was actually two races in one weekend. The first event saw Brooks get off to a great start in practice, but Brooks struggled in qualifying with the fifth-best time. He bounced back, winning his semi-final heat comfortably, but the final did not go his way, and he was forced to retire early from the race, taking a DNF.

The next day didn’t get much better. Brooks struggled in qualifying, both heats, and the semi-final, finishing below the standards of success he had built for himself early on in the season. The main event didn’t treat Brooks any better, as he was unable to start the race, and once again was forced to take the tenth and bottom spot for the final.

As a result, the Ottawa weekend has put a dent in Brooks’ championship standings. After running at the front of the pack with the leaders for most of the year thus far, the Ottawa events saw his lead slip away, and he has since fallen to fourth overall. However, the series has a long way to go and Brooks isn’t far off the leaders. In fact, he sits just 12 points behind the third-place driver and 23 points behind second—a gap that can easily be made up in just a single event. Even the circuit leader Cyril Raymond’s gap isn’t safe, as he sits 63 points ahead of second.

With six events still remaining, including the season finale event in Los Angeles, the sky’s the limit for Brooks this season, and he’s already proven he has what it takes to contend for the title. He’ll be looking to get back to that form soon.

MB2 Raceways is a proud sponsor of Christian Brooks as he races the Red Bull Global RallyCross circuit this season. Want to get behind the wheel of a high-speed racecar and experience the thrills for yourself? Head to your local MB2 Raceway and feel the excitement of driving a fully-electric European-style go kart for yourself as you race around our fully-indoor tracks.

FIA EUROPEAN KARTING CHAMPIONSHIPS OPEN THIS WEEKEND IN ITALY!

The best kart racers in Europe are gearing up for the start of the 2017 FIA Commission Internationale de Karting European Championship series, with the first race of the season taking place this weekend! The first stop on this year’s tour takes place at the Circuit Napoli, located in Sarno, Italy. The action has already begun with drivers taking practice sessions on the 1.5 kilometer track for the entirety of today.

Drivers from a whopping 31 countries will be competing in three different classes: KZ, OK, and OK Junior. The Academy Trophy and KZ2 classes will not begin until future events, and the year’s schedule features five races for the OK and OK Junior classes, four for the KZ class, and three for the KZ2 drivers.

In total, 165 drivers enter the weekend, giving the series one of its best starts in history. Amongst the pack is last season’s KZ class champion Marco Ardigo, as well as other top contenders Bas Lammers of The Netherlands, Anthony Abbasse of France, and Patrik Hajek of the Czech Republic. The reigning OK class champion Pedro Hiltbrand of Spain has also returned to defend his crown. He will be challenged this season by top-contending Englishmen Clement Novalak and Tom Joyner as well as Karol Basz of Poland.

The OK Junior class is perhaps the most enigmatic and exciting class to watch this weekend, as the youth of the tour have a number of up-and-coming talents. To add to the excitement, the throne has also been vacated as the reigning champion Finlay Kenneally of England has graduated to the senior OK division.

Qualifying heats for the race will begin tomorrow morning and continue into Sunday, where teams will put their speed to the test in time-attack style races with the fastest drivers claiming positions in Sunday’s main events. On Sunday afternoon local time, those who qualify will take to the track one final time for a head-to-head shootout to determine the winner for this first stop on the tour.

This year’s races will be broadcasted live online thanks to WSK Promotion! If you want to tune in and watch any of the races in this year’s European Championship or even the World Championship series, you can find the stream online at cikfia.tv and cikfiachampionship.com. Italy is nine hours ahead of Pacific Time, so the stream will begin at 1:00am (3:00am for our friends in Des Moines and Minneapolis) on Sunday, April 23rd.

Want to race for your own championship? Grab your friends and head to your local MB2 Raceway for high-speed fully-electric go-kart action! Our European-style karts are similar to those driven in the European Championship, only powered by electricity to ensure a safe and exhilarating experience. We offer arrive-and-drive style races to the general public every day, as well as several great party packages for all your celebration needs. Whether you’re looking to host a birthday party, corporate event, company picnic, bachelor party, or business fair, MB2 Raceway will help you make your event one that will be remembered for a long time to come. We can even help customize your event with great food and facility packages, including party and VIP rooms as well as multiple race sessions for each of your guests.

THE FIVE TOUGHEST AUTO RACES TO FINISH

The seemingly endless laps of a race at Bristol Motor Speedway or the constant tight, winding corners of a single lap at the annual Monte Carlo stop on the Formula One calendar may seem like a tough task for drivers to endure. While they’re not easy by any stretch, they pale in comparison to some of the world’s most daunting auto races. These spectacular competitions combine grueling terrain with long distances and continuous varying challenges to create a competition that pushes both man and machine to their absolute limits. Think you’ve seen a tough race? Think again. Here are the five most difficult famous auto races to finish.

5. 4X4 RAINFOREST CHALLENGE – MALAYSIA

Held each November in the small Southeast Asian country of Malaysia, this race pits dozens of competitors against each other for the toughest off-road racing on the planet. How tough is it? It takes the competitors five days to finish the course that stretches only about 500 miles. In fact, some stretches are so difficult that it can take teams over an hour just to go a single kilometer. But that kilometer can be filled with everything from slippery slopes of mud to giant, craggy boulders, to massive forests involving careful weaving to avoid getting stuck. Bring a winch, you’re going to need it.

4. THE NURBURGRING 24

The Nurburgring is a famous (and infamous) auto circuit located just outside the German city of Nuremburg. This circuit is known for being the ultimate test of both car and driver, with the most popular Nordschliefe circuit measuring just under 13 miles in length. It’s over this circuit, which features an incredible 154 turns that one of the most testing endurance races is held every year. No race tests the limits of a car’s performance for hours at a time or a driver’s ability to remain completely focused more than lap after lap of this track for 24 hours straight.

3. ISLE OF MAN TOURIST TROPHY

The Isle of Man is a small autonomous island in the Irish Sea that’s roughly about 220 square miles in size. Every summer, some of the most daring and perhaps insane superbike riders head to the island to take a crack at the 37.7 mile Snaefell Mountain course. The annual competition that has been held for more than 100 years to this day still has the highest fatality rate of any motor race, making it easily the most dangerous motorcycle race on the planet.

2. ERZBERG RODEO

While not as fatal as the Isle of Man TT, the Erzberg Rodeo is even tougher to get from start to finish. The course? From the bottom to the top of a working quarry in the Austrian Alps. But the trick to this race isn’t the distance, it’s the sheer difficulty of making it out. The hill is extraordinarily steep and covered with loose dirt and gravel, making it a challenge for even seasoned riders to reach the finish. This enduro-style race is known for taking out competitors. The 2011 running of this race saw more than 1,000 riders qualify and only nine actually reach the final finish line.

1. THE BAJA 1000

Have you ever seen the movie Death Race? The Baja 1000 is kind of like that, minus the guns. This race that annually takes place across the desert terrain of Baja California in Mexico and features challenges you won’t find in any other event. Spectators have been known to booby trap the course for entertainment, competitors have been detained by local police, and the grueling course and difficult terrain makes for a race where it’s not uncommon for the two-wheeled motorcycles to actually beat the more-powerful and overall-faster four-wheeled entries in overall time. The teams who can claim to have finished the Baja 1000 have earned one of the most prestigious badges of honor in the world of off-road racing.

At MB2 Raceways, you and your friends can race to the finish and put your own skills to the test.
