The Remo Racing Trulli Kart squad who have dominated this class for the last 2 seasons have continued on their winning way in 2005 with a clean sweep of the top 3 positions in Intercontinental A class. The Intercontinental ‘A’ has long been the backbone of the Australian CIK Championships and is still one of the most exciting classes to watch. Daniel Ricciardo wins the 2005 Intercotinental A class Championships. This has been arguably the hardest fought class in the CIK Championship this year.

JICA ROUND 1 - Geelong, Victoria - 9th & 10th April
The only Trulli Kart driver in the field was young Fergus Symes who was in-experienced as this was his very first ever JICA race!! Overcoming his fears of the daunting experience of being his first time in the fastest Junior class in Australia, Fergus drove to a deserving 3rd place in the final.

JICA ROUND 2 - Eastern Creek, Sydney - 27th & 28th May 2005
An exciting Round 2 at Eastern Creek saw Trulli pilot Fergus Symes in scintillating form taking the overall honours winning both Final 1 and Final 2.

JICA ROUND 3 - Ipswich, Queensland - 22nd & 23rd July

Fergus Symes was also destined to win this Round 3 but had to retire due to mechanical failure.

JICA ROUND 4 - 2005 Bolivar SA Australia - 17th & 18th September
After 2 days of changing weather conditions, Sunday morning was a pleasant change for the drivers, with the Bolivar track being bathed in bright sunshine as Adelaide finally turned the weather on, as the drivers were preparing to turn it on for the crowd. This would be the last day of the series and the day that would decide the 2005 champions. In heat 3 Joshua Scott won the start with Fergus Symes and Gillespie trading places backwards and forwards as the race went on, but at the end it was Fergus Symes 2nd behind Scott. Fergus was also second in Final 1 and Final 2 and Second overall in the CIK championship putting in a great drive for the Remo Racing Trulli Team, well done!
