Motor racing-Karters beat F1 stars to Singapore circuit 19/04/08 - By Ossian Shine - uk.reuters.com

SINGAPORE, April 19 (Reuters) - The worlds of F1 and K1 are a million miles apart. While the former features super-slim millionaires who enjoy all the trappings their Formula One superstardom affords them, the latter is a vehicle for go-kart enthusiasts who tinker with engines in their spare time.   Yet come September, the likes of Lewis Hamilton and Kimi Raikkonen could do worse than turn to their lowly cousins for a few words of advice.   For it is the go-karters who will be the first motorsport racers to experience the Marina Bay circuit which will host the world's first night-time Formula One Grand Prix on Sept. 28. The finale of Singapore's K1 Motorsport Festival -- the culmination of a six-month travelling show to popularise mortorsport in Singapore -- will take place on the same Tarmac that will host the F1 race. The K1 races are due to be staged at the Pit Building of the Marina Bay F1 track over July 26-27. That section will house the paddock for the F1 cars come September.
