K1 Speed Irvine Challenge GP 4 2K13 – Season 1

andrew — Mon, 08 Apr 2013 16:45:53 +0000

Last night’s Irvine Challenge GP brought a huge crowd of thirsty racers bidding for a podium spot. We witnessed a lot of great driving with the reverse supertrack layout. It seemed to be challenging at first for the new racers but for the veterans it only took a couple laps in.

What a great night of racing with Adam Akers and Louis Pilloni taking the top two spots followed by Luca Bortone in third. Looking forward to the next GP in May.

K1 Speed Irvine Challenge GP 3 2K13 – Season 1

andrew — Tue, 05 Mar 2013 16:00:51 +0000

One of the cleanest Supertracks we have ever had even though there were 14 racers on the track. The quality of character and the level of competition were truly unmatched.

Very competitive all around GP3 race. Only by a small margin were most of the drivers in the B Group over the A group. So some great racing at hand. We even had a 1st time racer take 3rd in the group. We’re looking forward to next month’s GP!

K1 Speed Irvine Challenge GP 2 2K13 – Season 1

andrew — Tue, 12 Feb 2013 16:00:10 +0000

Very fun race with the Russ McGrane leading the pack. Russ took the jump off the rolling start and pulled away from the rest of the pack. The real excitement was between Kevin and Michael fighting for that 2nd spot. Going around the teardrop on track 2, Kevin motored his way past Michael to claim that 2nd position. A lot of new faces to the 2013 GP Season.

The B Main got off to a rocky start with 2 drivers spinning out on lap 3 breaking each kart. Got new karts put in place and off we go! Nick, Randy, and Tony after the restart were untouchable, pulling away from the entire pack taking the podium finishes. Some great talent this Sunday. We look forward to the upcoming events to see how their talents progressed.

First US-built BAC Mono at Cars & Coffee Irvine

andrew — Sun, 20 Jan 2013 16:00:40 +0000

Sector111 unveiled the first US-built BAC Mono at Saturday’s Cars and Coffee in Irvine, California. The car was built from a knock-down kit, and Sectior111 says the company’s allocation of 2012 Mono units has completely sold out. It’s currently taking orders for 2013 models. The single-seat, street-legal racer tips the scales at a mere 1,190 pounds, and gets around your favorite track thanks to thrust from a 280-horsepower 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine worked up by the minds at Cosworth.

“The BAC Mono is a purist sports car that looks stunning in person,” stated Shinoo Mapleton, President of Sector111. “Cars&Coffee is a casual event attended by real car fanatics so I am excited to host the first USA unveiling with this crowd of enthusiasts.”

A little over a year ago, BAC announced it was partnering with Sector111 to bring its heathen machine to our shores, albeit in very low numbers. The company shipped just 12 knockdown kits to the states. Check out the BAC Mono video review from the UK below.
