  • Former Hyundai WRC works driver Hayden Paddon competed on Leadfoot Festival with quite the unique machine, a GSX-R750 powered Cross Kart produced by portuguese company SEMOG. Displaying some impressive speed and benefitting from a some misfortunes from other competitors it ended up placing 2nd Overall on the event and breaking the 50 second barrier, posting a blisteringly quick 49.86sec.
    The SEMOG is originally built in Portugal, with this particular unit being fine-tuned and developed by Hayden´s own Paddon RallySport team at his Highlands Motorsport Park base. It weighs only 300kg thanks to its tubeframed chassis, all being moved by 160Hp/14.000Rpm from the Suzuki GSX-R 750 motorbike motor.
    It is an incredibly simple machine, built with easy maintenance in mind, although featuring many of the bits that every good Rally Car needs, like
    hydraulic brakes, handbrake, adjustable suspension and pretty much what is a 6-Speed Sequential Gearbox thanks to the adaptation of the motorkbike transmission.

      @Grimmy Grim Grim It's also the most dynamic uphill course in the world. A bit of understeer is acceptable, but yeah, he's a bit light in the front. No front splitter and exposed wheels are bad for aero. Love the rake, the wing, the diffuser. It all came together for an awesome package... but yeah, maybe just front canards to keep the front planted in those high speed corners.
