2020 Season:
I entered three main championships, the main National Championship which was ‘Super One/BKC’, then also Whilton Mill Kart Club Championship and Hooton Park Championship.
Disaster happened at Round 1 of the National Championship with a snapped throttle cable meaning a DNF in the Final at Round 1 whilst leading and 10th in the Championship, lots of hard work through the rest of the season and I was just 13 points of the lead and 3rd in the championship going into the last round. A perfect weekend and I managed to claw the points back and win the Championship.
I also managed first place in both other Championships I entered signing off from Bambino’s in style!
