Ten Top Tens For Ocala Gran Prix In West Palm Beach
“Strong runs at PBIR for Ocala Gran Prix drivers”
Ocala, Florida – Heading to the Palm Beach International Raceway (PBIR) for the second round of the Formula Kart Productions Florida Winter Tour (FWT), Ocala Gran Prix drivers knew that the competition would once again be stout. With talented drivers from all around the world descending on Jupiter, Florida, Ocala Gran Prix would prove to have another successful weekend as the second weekend in the program has come to a close.
“The Palm Beach facility has changed a lot over the last few years and you need to have a smart driver and fast equipment to run at the front of the field,” explained Team Principal Jorge Arellano. “Our drivers had good weekend of results and now we head back to our home facility for the third and final round in the series.”
While the Rotax Senior drivers lead the team, it was the junior competitors that came home with the best results this weekend. Pietro Fittipaldi and Oliver Askew led the OGP team in the Rotax Junior division as both drivers were able to take home top five results. Askew claimed a solid fifth place finish on Saturday, his career best in FWT competition, and backed it up on Sunday with a solid sixth place result. Fittipaldi struggled in Saturday’s main event but managed to claim an eighth place finish out of the 68 registered competitors but improved on Sunday to score a podium result in the third position.
Alex Hornborg was the third junior competitor to make the final on both days of action directly through the qualifying rounds. When the weekend was finally complete, the Florida resident claimed 25th and 31st place results after being involved in some opening corner incidents. Michigan driver Alex Keyes showed leaps and bounds of improvement from the opening round in Orlando as he claimed a solid 22ndplace result on Saturday while Angus Hunt went on to win the Last Chance Qualifier on Sunday to make the main and eventually score a 27th place result.
Double Rotax Junior champion Nick Neri and IndyCar competitor Dan Wheldon would battle at the front of the Rotax Senior field all weekend long at PBIR. While Neri would have to overcome some engine issues during pre event testing, he managed to claim a disappointing 11th place finish on Saturday but rebounded on Sunday to finish fifth. Wheldon was at the front of the field throughout Saturday’s main event as he led the majority of the race. The fierce competition and aggressiveness would not let up for Wheldon as he eventually crossed the stripe in the sixth position. Another driver improving greatly from the opening round was OGP’s Andrew Evans. After not making either final in Orlando, Evans managed to take home 19th and 20th place results at PBIR.
In the Rotax Masters class it was a pair of OGP drivers in Jason Bell and Rob Maier who would battle in the top ten all weekend long. Bell would score the best results of the duo with a tenth and seventh place results while Maier would come home sixteenth and thirteenth.
Entering the PBIR round, Californian driver Cody Hodgson would look to battle for the race win. After claiming Saturday’s pole position, Hodgson would be disqualified in post qualifying technical inspection and sent to the rear of the field. Driving with aggression and determination, Hodgson moved through the talented field to claim a fourth place finish on Saturday. Sunday would be a little different for the two time defending United States Grand National champion as he would lead the main event. Looking as if he would have a good shot at the race win, Hodgson was driven over by a fellow competitor and with a badly damaged kart, was unable to continue.
OGP would enter three drivers in the youngest two divisions on the weekend as Enzo Fittipaldi and Sebastian Sierra would run in the Rotax Mini Max class while Mathias Ramirez would compete in Micro Max. While Fittipaldi would come home in 19th and 22nd, Sierra would run into trouble and be classified in 28th and 34th. Ramirez would show consistent speed throughout the race weekend and score a pair of top ten results in ninth and tenth.

Ocala Gran Prix To Sell Rotax Senior Team Motors
“Strong motors available for purchase before final round of Florida Winter Tour”
Ocala, Florida – With a host of drivers competing at the Florida Winter Tour under the Ocala Gran Prix team tent, the OGP program utilized multiple Rotax power plants to ensure their drivers were at the front of the field. Now that the popular winter series is coming to a close, Ocala Gran Prix will look to sell some of their Rotax motors to the general karting community before the final round at the end of March.
“At the beginning of the Florida Winter Tour, we rebuilt and prepared more than forty motors to use and rent throughout the series,” expressed Ocala Gran Prix’s Jorge Arellano. “Now, we are looking to sell some of the motors to the karting community. We have multiple Rotax Senior power plants available for only $2500.00″
Ocala Gran Prix team motors will be sold complete with battery, wiring harness, coil, air box, fuel pump, and starter buttons. All motors will be in good working order and will be freshened up before the final round in Ocala and were built in conjunction Koene Racing’s Martijn Koene.

Ocala Gran Prix – Florida Winter Tour Pbir Preview
“16 Drivers under Ocala Gran Prix tent look for success in South Florida”
Ocala, Florida – February 20, 2011 – As the second round of the 2011 Formula Kart Productions Florida Winter Tour (FWT) fast approaches, teams and drivers begin their testing and preparation in the hunt for race wins and podiums. The Ocala Gran Prix (OGP) squad is no different as they have assembled yet another large contingent of drivers to compete at Palm Beach International Raceway (PBIR) in Jupiter, Florida.
IndyCar champion Dan Wheldon drove to a solid top five and sits sixth in the Rotax Senior point standings.
“While some of our drivers are veterans of the Florida Winter Tour, others are fresh out of the box rookies who are looking to gain experience needed to compete at the front of the field in 2011,” expressed Jorge Arellano, Team Principal for Ocala Gran Prix. “We had some mixed results in Orlando as weather played a definite role in the final results. We look to overcome that minor speed bump and return back to the form of winning races and earning multiple podiums at PBIR.”
Leading the way in the Rotax Senior class will be senior rookie Nick Neri and INDYCAR champion Dan Wheldon. Both drivers could be seen at the front of the pack in Orlando scoring top five results and currently sit fourth and fifth in the point standings respectively. Joining the duo in the talent-laden senior class will be Floridian pilot Andrew Evans.
Two time defending United States Rotax DD2 national champion Cody Hodgson will make the cross country trek once again to compete at the FWT. Showing speed at the opening round, Hodgson would succumb to racing luck scoring results that were not equivalent to his on track action. When Hodgson is not behind the wheel of his Tony Kart, he can usually be seen piloting the #55 in the NASCAR Late Model Western Series.
Scoring the OGP squad’s best results in Orlando were that of Rotax Masters competitors Jason Bell and Rob Maier. While Bell went on to score a pole position and a pair of solid results, Maier overcame his tough run on Saturday to finish in the fourth position on Sunday. Currently Jason Bell sits second in the title chase while Maier is in the mix in seventh.
Ocala Gran Prix’s largest contingent of drivers comes from the junior division. Leading the way into the second round of the program will be Oliver Askew and Pietro Fittipaldi. Askew will enter the Palm Beach race with redemption on his mind after a pair of twenty something results in Orlando. Showing the speed to run with the lead trio, Askew was involved in opening lap incidents taking him out of contention for the win. On the other hand, Fittipaldi showed that he has what it takes to make a run at the title scoring a pair of top fifteen results with lap times to run at the front of the field. Joining Askew and Fittipaldi in the Rotax Junior class will be Alex Hornborg, Angus Hunt, Alex Keyes and Karl Weber.
Pietro’s younger brother Enzo Fittipaldi along with Sebastian Sierra and Justin Gordon will do battle in the Rotax Mini Max division. While Sierra scored a solid third place result on Saturday, he failed to make the main event on Sunday due to an on track incident. Sierra will look to rebound in Palm Beach to get himself back in the hunt for the championship. Both Fittipaldi and Gordon continued to show improvement throughout the race weekend at the challenging Orlando circuit and will look to score top ten results at the second round in the program.
Rotax Masters pilot Jason Bell scored a pair of solid results and a pole position in Orlando
Mathias Ramirez will be OGP’s lone driver in the Micro Max class as he looks to battle for race wins. After scoring a top five result in Sunday’s action at the opening round, Ramirez tallied enough points to currently sit eighth in the race for the championship. Looking forward to the Palm Beach International Raceway round, Ramirez will look to take try and sweep the weekend’s action
With 16 drivers under the Ocala Gran Prix program, the past and future success and experience of these drivers is invaluable. From Florida Winter Tour champions to national champions, Ocala Gran Prix looks to add strong results this round and make a run at several series championships.
With a strong team of drivers, a tuning crew second to none has been assembled. With mechanics from all over the world, the OGP squad employs more than 275 years of experience and knowledge to ensure success to their drivers.

Ocala Gran Prix: Florida Karting Championship Series Report
“Pole positions, podium results and race wins for Florida based squad”
Ocala, Florida – February 1, 2011 – Hot off the heels of the opening round of the Florida Winter Tour, Ocala Gran Prix (OGP) traveled south to the Homestead Karting complex for the 2011 season opener for the Florida Karting Championship Series (FKCS). Looking to build off the momentum gained in last year’s program, OGP would enter fewer drivers in the series, but would come home with the same results.
In the competitive junior ranks it was Floridian Oliver Askew who would score a pair of podium results including a second place finish in TaG Junior and a dominating victory in Rotax Junior. After being involved in an opening corner incident at the start of Saturday’s TaG Junior final, Askew would be forced to come from deep in the field. Turning the fastest laps of the event, Askew carved his way forward to take the second podium position. Sunday would provide for a much easier day for the Tony Kart driver as a pole position, heat race win, main event victory and fastest race lap would provide for a dominating performance.
OGP pilot Alex Hornborg would also enter the TaG Junior division but a prefinal incident would force him to retire from the weekend with an injury. Taking his place in Sunday’s Yamaha Junior event was multi-time champion Nick Neri who stole the show. After being disqualified in the prefinal for leaving the racing surface, Neri was forced to start from the tail of the field for the main event. Driving as a seasoned veteran, the 2009 eKartingNews.com Young Driver of the Year made pass after pass to take the top honor.
In the youngest category of the weekend, Mathias Ramirez was the man to beat as he was also forced to start from the tail of the field after qualifying in the Rotax MicroMax division. Moving forward throughout the prefinal, Ramirez really turned up the wick in the final as he hounded the race leaders and battled hard to the very last corner to take the win. Looking to do the same in the Yamaha Sportsman division, Ramirez would muster up his second podium result of the weekend with a solid third place result while he came home 11th in Cadet Junior Sportsman.
Also competing in the Cadet and MicroMax divisions was Ocala driver Dylan Genarro. The young driver showed steady progress throughout the weekend after just moving up from the Kid Kart ranks to take a 16th place finish in MicroMax and an 18th place result in Cadet Junior Sportsman.
Ocala Gran Prix’s other victory came from the Rotax MiniMax division, as national level front-runner Sebastian Sierra would steal the show. After competing at the front of the field at the Florida Winter Tour last weekend, Sierra would do the same in FKCS action as he took a demanding victory and the overall series point lead heading into the second round of the program.
The senior ranks would be a hard fought battle as a stacked field of Florida competitors would enter the mix. Rotax Senior would see three Ocala Gran Prix drivers do battle as Brandon Salyer, Jonathon Kotyk and Andrew Evans would enter the mix. Evans looked to be a threat for the victory in the main event as he led on occasion and scored the fastest race lap before a chain failure took him out of contention. Taking advantage of Evans misfortune were fellow OGP pilots Salyer and Kotyk as they came home third and fourth respectively.
All three competitors would also see action in the TaG Senior class as well with Salyer once again getting the best of the rest with a fourth place result. Mid race contact would take Evans out of the mix once again as he looked to have a realistic shot at the main event victory while Kotyk would come home in a disappointing 18th place result.
Ocala Gran Prix is also continuing to expand their dealership network with a high priority in both the New York/New Jersey area and Wisconsin.

OCALA GRAN PRIX SCORES RESULTS WITH NEW AND EXISTING DRIVERS AT FLORIDA WINTER TOUR
“Several drivers have strong start to 2011 campaign”
Ocala, Florida – January 25, 2011 – Looking to live up to the expectations gained during the 2010 season, the Ocala Gran Prix squad opened the season strong at the Orlando Kart Center during the first event of the Formula Kart Productions Florida Winter Tour (FWT). With 18 drivers under the team tent including 2005 Indianapolis 500 champion Dan Wheldon, Ocala Gran Prix (OGP) would be in the hunt for multiple race wins and podium results.
In the headline Rotax Senior class, both Nick Neri and Dan Wheldon could be seen at the front of the field. While Wheldon outdid his teammate in both qualifying efforts, Neri got the best in the final results scoring two top five finishes. Having to come through the last chance qualifier in Saturday’s action, Neri managed a solid fourth place finish while Wheldon would come home fifth. Sunday would see Neri narrowly miss the podium in the fourth position while Wheldon would claim a twelfth place finish after having to come from outside the top 25 due to a mid race contact.
Japanese driver Sena Fujita would find the competition tough during his first career Florida Winter Tour action while Andrew Evans showed the speed to run in the final, but had no luck during the rain soaked qualifying runs. Fujita, unfamiliar to the American style of tracks and their conditions, endured a rib injury during the second day of testing but drove through the pain and managed to complete the weekend.
Ocala Gran Prix’s strongest results came from the Rotax Masters class where Jason Bell and Rob Maier would score four top ten results between them. After qualifying pole and off pole for both days of action, Bell managed to score a pair of solid results with a fifth and a third and unofficially, sits second in the title chase. Maier would have a tenth place finish on Saturday and followed in the footsteps of Neri, just barely missing the podium with a fourth place result in Sunday’s action.
With 68 drivers in the Rotax Junior category, seven of them would come from the Ocala Gran Prix stable with young Pietro Fittipaldi taking home the team’s strongest results. After claiming a thirteenth place finish on Saturday, Fittipaldi ran inside the top five throughout Sunday’s main event to eventually come home in the eighth position. Floridian pilot Oliver Askew was one of the quickest junior competitors of the weekend as he would have strong times that were comparable to the lead group. Without bad luck, Askew would have no luck at all as he was a victim of an incident in Saturday’s final before having contact in Sunday’s final while running in a podium position. Junior rookie Ashley Rogero would have a strong fourteenth place result on Saturday.
Within the talent laded Junior field Karl Weber, Alex Keyes, Alex Hornborg and Angus Hunt attended the Orlando event for their first Florida Winter Tour action. Garnering years of experience in one weekend, all four drivers will be back next round as they look to provide OGP with multiple podium results.
United States DD2 national champion Cody Hodgson was back behind the wheel of an Ocala Gran Prix prepared Tony Kart and was one of the quickest drivers of the weekend. After being involved in an incident in Saturday’s main event, Hodgson rebounded on Sunday to score a fourth place result in his run for the overall series title.
Ocala Gran Prix’s youngest competitors came from the Rotax Mini and Micro Max classes as Sebastian Sierra, Enzo Fittipaldi, Justin Gordon and Mathias Ramirez would look for the top step of the podium. While Fittipaldi scored a 23rd and an 18th place finishes, Sierra would stand on the podium on Saturday with a third place result but would fail to make Sunday’s main event after being taken out in the last chance qualifier, while running at the front of the field. Gordon would score a twentieth place finish on Saturday but would run into trouble in Sunday’s competition. Ramirez, competing in the Micro Max class, scored a solid ninth place result on Saturday and improved to the fifth position on Sunday.
“The Florida Winter Tour is very tough this year,” expressed OGP President Jorge Arellano. “The competition is second to none and that is seen within all the classes. From top level karters to professional drivers, it is an accomplishment to stand on the podium let alone have the chance to win a race. The full squad will be back at Palm Beach International Raceway and we will look to improve on our results from Orlando.”
Ocala Gran Prix is also continuing to expand their dealership network with a high priority in both the New York/New Jersey area and Wisconsin.

Wheldon Makes A Commitment
Former Indy 500 Champion to Partner with Ocala Gran Prix Tony Kart Team for 2011 Kart Season
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (January 18, 2011) – While negotiations are still under way to determine where the 2005 Indianapolis 500 Champion and IZOD INDYCAR Champion will call his open wheel racing home in 2011, one team is not sleeping on his talent and is taking advantage of his late availability. Wheldon has committed to the Ocala Gran Prix Tony Kart team for the 2011 go-kart season.
“Anyone who knows me well knows how much I love karting. I started when I was 4 years old in England, and it is still a love of mine to this day,” Wheldon said. “It is such a great way to hone your skills while outside of the race car. It really helps to keep a driver on his toes.”
Wheldon is no stranger to the kart scene having competed in multiple events in 2010 with the BTK Arrow team, such as the Robopong endurance race at New Castle Motorsports Park, and the talent-laden SKUSA SuperNationals held in Las Vegas where he most recently claimed 11th place.
This will not be the first time that Wheldon and Tony Kart have partnered on the go-kart course.
“I first drove a Tony Kart chassis in Europe in 1995. They were great then and they are widely known as one of the premier kart chassis distributors in America today. And to come together with them under the Ocala Gran Prix umbrella makes it that much more exciting. It is going to feel great to win races with these guys,” Wheldon, who has 15 INDYCAR race wins under his belt, admits.
“I am thrilled to death that Mr. Wheldon has taken a chance with us at OGP,” expressed Team Principal Jorge Arellano. “I am committed to providing him with the best available tools to compete and win at the Florida Winter Tour this year.”
Wheldon also admits that he has a high level of anticipation for this kart season as he has a special investment in a few of the young drivers on the scene.
“I was honored to be one of three celebrity judges for the DeFrancesco Racing Florida Winter Tour TaG Cadet Scholarship Program that Bill Wright hosted in December 2010 that ensured that 15 deserved kids are able to participate in the Florida Winter Tour series in 2011. These kids are talented and determined and with a little bit of financial help are set to really display their talents,” Wheldon said. “I remember what it meant to me to have people believe in me and my talent at that age, and I can’t wait to see in person what these kids are able to do out there.”
The next race on the schedule for Wheldon and OGP Tony Kart is slated for January 21st-23rd at the Orlando Kart Center as part of the Rotax Max Florida Winter Tour program.
