Keven Hebert Motiv-powered for 2019

Motiv have announced that Keven Hebert will be representing the brand in 2019. Other than Keven’s ability to compete with their products among the worlds best, he brings in many years of experience and most importantly a championship attitude that really makes the difference. Keven had this to say about the deal:

I am excited to be running for Motiv in 2019! Not many of you know this but when I first started racing, the first pro racer I met was Paul Lemieux, It was in 2002 at a race in Canada. Even though I could not speak English back then he was there to help and did everything he could to help me. 17 years later I am happy to be running for a company that has killer racer products made by one of the most genuine people in the industry. Looking forward to seeing you all at the track!

With Elliott Harper and Olly Jefferies tied on points at the top of the championship, both were looking to get their 2019 campaigns off to a strong start. However, there was some surprise in the first qualifier when Elliott broke his Xray on lap two, it wasn’t Olly who took the lead of the group, but Associated’s Matthew White. Matt maintained his composure and took the round by a few tenths of a second over Olly’s Schumacher, with Kyle Branson taking third with his Capricorn chassis. Chris Grainger showed the improvements the Associated team had found by backing up his team-mate and taking fourth, with privateer Stefan Chodzynski rounding out the top five.
