Here it is folks!!
Thanks for your patience waiting for the results!!!
Congratulations to all Corona 2021 participants!!!
We got up to 11 participants, one less than half of last year.
Despite having less participants, it wasn't any less interesting or any less fun.
Quite the contrary, what an exciting race and end of season!!!
It was very entertaining how everything played out, and best, everyone showed great sportsmanship and respect.
Specially with all the penalty calls I had to make...
Really great job everyone, thank you!!!
But lets get those videos pointed the right way in 2022, please!!!
Looking forward to next year already, and hoping to welcome lots more international entries!!!
The 2021 Corona Speed Challenge win goes to John Lacambra's #36 Delage "Pepe le Pew" Predator 212 from the Pacific North West USA region, with a record setting speed of 60.5 mph!! Its lead was never threatened once it was on the board, but behind it it was very close.
The result settles the 2021 CycleKart World Championship's epic Dodge vs. Maserati joust in favor of David Dupaquier's #3 Maserati... by just 1 measly point... and 2/10 of a mph!!!
Although the Championship battle was between Dave Dupaquier's #3 Maserati and Jim Tanner's #8 Dodge, and after all the back and forth we saw during the Corona, what ultimately gave the Championship to the Maserati was the 2/10 of mph that separated it in 2nd place and the #17 Talbot in 3rd in The Corona race. The Talbot put forward a last minute attempt to overtake the Maserati on Nov 1, but was not able to better its speed from the Oct 16 run. Had the Talbot been able to pass the Maseratii even by a minuscule fraction of a mph, the Maserati would have dropped to 3rd, score 1 less point, and the 2021 World Championship Title would have gone to the British Dodge who had the tie breaker advantage.
Incredible effort put up by Jim Tanner and his Dodge, digging deep, but when the dust settled, unfortunately it came up just a little short.
Cest la vie...
So yes folks, the #3 Maserati 250F is the 2021 CycleKart World Champion, taking the Title for the 2nd year in a row!!
Party at Scuderia Italia's headquarters!!!
