[padding right="5%" left="0%"]Question 1 What are the best highlights of the 2015 season?[/padding]
[highlight color="yellow"]Reply 1 There were many highlights in 2015, too many, in fact, to choose just one in particular. For me however, the way our team presented themselves on and off the race track showed why we are the most professional team in Australia and why we deserve the drivers we now have with us for 2016. Taking our team to the KZ1 world championship with Mirko Torsellini and also the CIK-FIA Asia Pacific championship in Macau was a big highlight for Patrizicorse. Our team has become well known and respected around the world.[/highlight]
[padding right="5%" left="0%"]Question 2 In your opinion, who has been the best 2015 Birel ART/Ricciardo Kart driver? And why?[/padding]
[highlight color="yellow"]Reply 2 Again, this is a difficult one, but as you have asked. In Australia, it would have to be Troy Loeskow in KZ. Before the first race of the year, he had only completed two testing days and one special event in 2014 aboard KZ machines. His determination on the track, coupled with his dedication to the work he does away from the track, shows why he will go into 2016 as a championship favourite. He was one of the fastest drivers in our championship from Round 2 onwards. We also have a young Cadet driver in Western Australia, Luca Nici: he produced a 100% podium success rate this year aboard his DR-C28 chassis and that is a huge achievement. Throughout 2015, Marijn Kremers joined us for four races: Marijn is one of the most talented go-kart drivers in the world, it's unfair to compare him with our own at this early stage, but it has been, as always, a pleasure working with him. Every time we take to the track with him, we know we will be challenging for victory.[/highlight]
[padding right="5%" left="0%"]Question 3 What are Patrizicorse & Birel ART Oceania expectations in 2016?[/padding]
[highlight color="yellow"]Reply 3 We have several objectives on and off the race track. Off the race track, we want to make sure Birel ART and Ricciardo Kart become the most popular go karts in Australia and New Zealand, we want to work more with our dealers and assist them with their businesses by making sure we provide them with a product that is superior to any other. On the racing side, we have recruited some fantastic drivers in all forms of competition for 2016 and we hope to achieve some championship glory. We also look forward to working closely and building our already strong relationships with our international partners like PSL Karting and KMS Europe as well as the Factory team and their staff. With the collaboration of our partners and our programme in Australia, we provide a path that no other manufacture in this region tackles or even has access to. I will finish on a note that go karting is the most enjoyable form of Motorsport, we always go racing to have fun and when we win it’s a bonus.[/highlight]
