The �international� element returned to Lydd this past weekend, and in quite some style!
Many thanks go to both Daytona Motorsport and AIM Motorsport for a superbly managed event. Our particular gratitude goes to Daytona�s Phil Stanley and his marshalling staff for their efficient, friendly and helpful input.
Without this it would not have been possible to successfully run a total 65 (!) sprint racing laps in the space of a Sunday morning.
A grid of 19 Aixros was a beautiful sight and sound to behold. This total included no fewer than 8 drivers from the continent: 3 from Belgium, 3 from Germany and 2 from Holland.
How�s that for putting the �international� back into (Daytona) Lydd International? From people who should know, I understand that this makes the meeting the most international racing there has been in the UK for quite some time. While I cannot quite believe that, it�s a curious thought � what are the facts in this respect?
Anyway, more details to follow on the AIM Motorsport and other websites. Among other places, high-quality pictures are available here: http://www.karting1.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5361&sid=b0fd98410dba134cd9909b3968946d6f
PS for anyone who has raised this question in the past: One of our visitors from the continent built a twin-Aixro kart for an event at Hockenheim a couple of years ago.
