Sodi excels in Minikart

In a market wide open to international competition, Sodi chassis have mastered the category again in the French Cup for Minikart. In 2013, Theo Nouet won under the sun at Laval, this year Timothy Sionville was on top of the podium at Angerville at the conclusion of a very wet competition, proving the versatility of the product from the Nantes factory.

Well established in Minikart from the outset, Sodi continues to attract more than half of the participants in the French Cup, among the nine French and foreign brands entered, with the 900mm Delta chassis which has been successful on many tracks around the world. A result that left nothing to chance in such a competitive field. The experience and the quality of the biggest global manufacturer also does wonders in Minikart.

While the 2013 edition of the French Cup for Minikart was already won by Sodi in the heat, 2014 was marked by unpredictable weather and rather cool temperatures for the season. The rain and wind continuously changed the grip conditions of the Angerville track throughout the meeting and made it difficult for the young drivers and their teams.

This did not stop Timothy Sionville winning the coveted title after a consistent race in the top five among the 73 drivers fighting for the Cup. Ranked 5th in qualifying after setting the fastest time in his group, Timothy remained in the lead group during the qualifying heats and was already fighting for 2nd place in the prefinal. The fighting was intense in the final before Sionville emerged from the pack and escaped irretrievably to the finish line, the undisputed winner by 8” from his direct rivals and the fastest lap of the race.

The Sodi success was not complete without the good performances from other drivers happily using the chassis. Also Mathis Pécriaux took three victories in the qualifying heats before taking the lead in the intermediate classification and there were five Sodi karts in the top ten of the 2014 French Cup for Minikart.

In all weathers, sunshine or rain, choosing Sodi means the certainty of not being wrong.
