EARLY RACING It was in Lebanon at the age of 14 that Basil had his first taste of racing. At the Circuit Des Champions go- Karting center near Broumanna , he enjoyed pushing the car's 5 and 9 Horsepower Engine s to their limits. Finding the Racing Line and controlling the kart's behavior naturally to him. Each time Basil's family went back to Lebanon, Basil would go to the circuit. Eventually, he worked his way up to driving the circuit's fastest 16-horsepower, 100 cc, 2-stroke karts. RACING IN SCHOOL Within two years of going to Berkeley, Basil could no longer hinder his passion. At that point, he knew he would be happiest as a professional Formula driver. So, in the footsteps of all the great Formula Series drivers ,he knew the ladder I had to climb, and it began with competition with go-karts. He bought a 23-horsepower, 100 cc kart from the US manufacturer Trackmagic Karts , based in San Francisco , and began racing in the Northern California region alongside his studies. |
