K1 Speed Torrance Challenge GP Results
K1 Speed in Los Angeles, California held its third round of their Challenge GP race series to close out the month of September last week a mix of new and returning competitors, all looking to take on the unique concrete surfaced layout at the K1 Speed Torrance facility. The tighter more technical track is a challenging course layout as both smooth driving and clean lines are the key to success for a fast lap. Robby Stanovich has been the kid to beat as this young fast driver has good control and puts his abilities to the track to produce lap times that seem to be un-catchable. Robby would once again win the pole position for the nights main event with a 25.532 second lap time setting the pace for the rest of the field for the night.
The main event would have a tight field of drivers all gunning for turn one as Robby lead the field for the green flag rolling start. KC Cook would be hot on Robby’s back bumper, with Trevor Buongiorno just a few clicks off in third with the rest of the field running just behind. The group would remain relatively tight with each-other, not allowing for any position changes for the duration of the race. The checkered flag would come out and Robby would take the win followed by KC in second and Trevor would finish out his night in third to close out the top three.

K1 Speed in Irvine, California hosted the 4th round of the Challenge GP race series to kick off the month of October this past Sunday to a number of very capable drivers all looking for a podium appearance.

He was in the zone Sunday night as he grabbed another pole position start for the A-Main with a 41.928 second lap. The rest of the field would fall in closely behind and the mains were set for the night with all eyes on what would happen in the A-Main.
The B-Main would start off the nights final rounds with Tommy Parry on pole for the rolling start, and he would steal the show, putting on quite a display of driving technique fending off the hard charging Kirk Meese. Tommy and Kirk would battle back and forth, as Kirk put on his own display of driving looking to find a way around Kirk. Meanwhile the rest of the field had their own battle going on with new comer Chad Gores leading the rest of the field in third and gaining some ground on the top two. The checkered flag was out and Tommy would go on to take the win by one of the slightest margins every seen in a Challenge GP race as Kirk was in second just 2/100ths from Tommy’s kart. Chad would round out the top three on the podium to close out the B-main.
A-Main race action was up next with Robby Stanovich on pole leading the field for the green flag rolling start into turn one. The field would freight-train with each-other for a brief moment, and begin to spread out a bit with Robby immediately going to work and pulling away from the pack. With Robby out in clean air he was able to set a new single lap Super-Track configuration record with a 41.377 second lap, which also put himself in a good 10 second lead over the rest of the field. With Stanovich out front, the rest of the group would have to battle for second and third. KC Cook would hold onto second place for the duration of the main, using his outdoor racing skills to prove he can be a contender in the A-Main, with Bryce Maltby not far from KC. The rest of the field would hold their positions for the final 2 laps with Robby going on to take the win, KC hanging onto second and Bryce taking third.
