1.Emirates-Schools-Karting-Championship-Junior-Round-Three-PodiumAfter three rounds the Swiss International Scientific School of Dubai (SISD) has set the benchmark of success in the Emirates Schools Karting Championship (ESKC) Junior Class, with all three of its teams in contention to win it all in the final round.

Despite unfortunate circumstances, the SISD teams found a way to come out on top. In the ESKC Junior Round Three on Sunday night (5 March) at Dubai Kartdrome it was Paul Seefeld who single-handedly delivered victory for SISD Team 3.

Seefeld’s teammate, Enzo Al Azhari, was out of action for the evening, so the team was forced to take a ten point penalty deduction for not fielding both drivers. He needed to drive near perfect over four races to have any hopes of making the podium.

Constantin Reisch, of SISD Team 2, fared even better, rocketing from seventeenth on the grid to first place, winning the race by 8.318 seconds over Seefeld. Iya Seys of Dubai International Academy claimed third.

Iya Seys of Dubai International Academy had another great drive but again had to settle for third place behind the two Swiss schools.
