We had some really good pace on Friday and it looked like it could’ve been a mega weekend, but unfortunately the weather just wasn’t on our side. We’ve struggled in the wet at this track, and pretty much every time we went to the grid it decided to rain! Definitely frustrating knowing what we had in the dry.

A damp qualifying on slicks saw us take 7th and 9th, followed by P10 in the first heat in the wet. Heat 2 was a solid effort, moving from 9th to 4th on track in the dry, but a penalty dropped us back to 7th. Unfortunately, some contact in the pre-final meant we didn’t manage to finish, and in a wet final we did the best we could to bring the weekend to an end with P7.

We’ve pushed hard all year and finished P4 in the British Championship. Obviously, as a driver, you always want more, but if you’d told me at the start of the year that I’d finish 4th in the British, I’d have thought that was a pretty good effort!

Massive thank you to 𝐉𝐀𝐃𝐄 𝐊𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐒 𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐈𝐍𝐆 for making this year possible. Without you, we wouldn’t be where we are or have the pace we do!
Well done to my teammate Noah Wolfe on winning the championship, you deserve it! Thank you for all your help throughout the year

We gave it absolutely everything this weekend and I couldn’t be prouder of what we showed.

From being fastest in a couple of practice sessions on Thursday and Friday, to qualifying P2, I think we proved that we have the pace to run right at the front. A penalty in the first heat put me back to P5, followed by another P5 in our wet heat on Friday. Starting P3 for the Pre=Final, I knew I just had to keep it together, stay at the front and put ourselves in the best possible position for the final. A P3 in the pre-final meant starting 3rd for the Final. We pushed so hard and managed to get ourselves into the lead at one point, but unfortunately we just didn’t quite have enough in the final few laps.

Of course, I would have absolutely loved to win, but sometimes you have to look at the bigger picture. This weekend showed me that I can run at the front, I can fight for the win, and we have the pace to be there.

A massive thank you to everyone who has supported me this weekend and especially Jade Racing for all the hard work you put in to make everything perfect. I couldn’t do it without you.

So close… but so much to be proud of!

A solid weekend at my home race.
Qualifying P10 and P9 wasn’t the start we were hoping for, but from there we kept moving forward. Heat 1 was a crazy race being on slicks in the wet, my favourite conditions, climbing through to P3.
 
Heat 2 was another challenging one with a damp track and just dry line, but we managed to come through to P5. Those results put us P2 on the grid for the PreFinal, my highest starting position in the British Kart Championship so far. After a tricky race we crossed the line in P5.
Unfortunately, the weekend didn’t end the way we wanted with P9 in the final, but there are plenty of positives to take away racing in all conditions.
Now it’s time to reset and go again next weekend for Super 4 at Rowrah.

A really positive weekend overall with plenty to take away from Kimbolton.
Qualified P7 and P4 before a DNF in Heat 1 and a P4 finish in Heat 2. Unfortunately, the DNF dropped us back to P11 on the grid for the pre final.
 
A good charge through the pre final saw us climb to P6, setting us up for the final. We struggled a little for outright pace in the final, but managed to hold on to P6 and come away with some valuable championship points.
 
My home race at Rowrah in a couple of weeks. Looking forward to racing in front of the home crowd and giving it everything!
