Skolasport, sponsored by Kellogg’s for the eighth consecutive year, has introduced the karting programme three years ago, to students at a young age with the aim of breeding a generation of enthusiasts for the development of this innovative sport.
The kart drivers were awarded points according to their finishing position. On the fifth and final race the top three drivers from each category were awarded trophies, which were presented by Mr. Andrew Decelis, Director of Kunsill Malti ghall-iSport.
This year 2005/06 the programme had a total of 75 regular participants. Kellogg's sponsored Skolasport will resume on Saturday 14 October.
