Kyle's Corner - Velocity Motorsport Magazine - V41 - Page 97
2021 has become another year of 'wait and see' for Kyle Evans. After the opening two rounds of the Australian Formula Ford Championship. Kyle has grown another year older as he waited for Round 3 as the Delta variant of COVID19 has seen another cycle of lock downs, postponements and 4 race cancellations at Sydney Motorsport Park, Winton, Sandown and Queensland Raceway.
The second round of the championship was held at Wakefield Park in regional NSW. It was a challenging weekend for Kyle as he fought for position amongst the top 10 Duratec drivers in Australia. A clash in the Saturday afternoon race resulted in front suspension damage for the EzyStone Spectrum. The final race of the weekend was shortened when Valentino Astuti rolled.
"Wakefield Park was a tough weekend," Kyle said. "We has great pace, but the incident in Race 1 and Valentino's accident really affected our charge through the field. The most important thing is that he is okay."
That wasn't the only unexpected moment from the weekend as Kyle explained. "When we returned to Queensland our car had to be quarantined, which wasn't something we had seen coming!"
Kyle has been using the down time to improve his fitness and support Prostate Cancer research at the same time through the 45 Sit Up Challenge. Kyle raised $1,100 from this endeavour for the organisation which was well beyond his initial target of $500. "It was fun thing to do and a great way to support a really worthy cause." Kyle said as he prepared for the Warwick 1000 from 27-29 August and the next round of the Formula Ford Championship in late September.
