Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.uz) — The fifth rounds of Uzbekistan’s karting slalom and gymkhana championships were held on 7 November at Drift Arena in the Surum settlement of Tashkent Region. The UZMAMF press service reported.
The fifth rounds were held in the MONO and MONO LADY classes. The third round of the gymkhana championship in the UNLIM class also took place.
The competitions were organised by the National Automobile and Motorcycle Federation of Uzbekistan (UZMAMF).

It helps participants learn basic kart-handling skills, improve their reaction and concentration, and gain their first competition experience. The federation said national competitions help athletes develop and prepare for international events.
