Larkhall Race Weekend
Interesting weekend with mixed results and weather.
Practice on Saturday went well and was on pace.
Sunday was a difficult day, disqualification from qualifying due to my rear bumper and wheels not being flush. Only a few were picked up on this and held for ages after qualifying so didn’t have time to make any changes before heat 1.

Qualifying —> disqualified
Heat 1 —> started p23 —> finished p17 but with a drop down back to p19.
Heat 2 —> started again p23 —> finished p16 but had a penalty back to p22.
Final —> was ment to start p22 but starter motor failed but Tony managed to get me going but had to start last which was p27 —> Made it up to p19 by the end of the first lap —> finished p18.
Over all a hard weekend but I was learning and getting faster over the weekend the penalties and disqualification was had but I just tried to push through.

Thank you to Tony for being my mechanic, Kraft Motorsport for giving me lines and helping me improve, Potenza Racing Enginesfor the power, my family for funding my racing and my parents for driving me places.

I have been too busy to update so here is a final update before going back to the way it was. Last year I competed in the UKC and Scottish Super Series. It has been really fun to finish off my first season properly running with Kraft Motorsport, getting to work with Lewis Gilbert and Luke Hughes. Another great year of power from Potenza Racing Engines. And having great help from my mechanic Tony and a couple weekends with Ian and Jay learning set ups along the way. Finishing the UKC after some unexpected mechanical issues I finished 28th out of 74 drivers which for my first season I am proud of myself. In the Scottish super series I came 10th out of 34 drivers which I am getting better year by year. And winning the McLeod Cup for Best Endeavour which I was really happy with.
For the winter months I competed in the East of Scotland Kart Club Winter Series winning all races and finals apart from one where no fault of my own I crashed out, winning the championship by a mile.
This year I will be competing in the UKC and Scottish Super Series looking forward to working with Kraft Motorsport again and hoping to improve all my results and race craft.

Thank you to Tony for being my mechanic for the year. As well Kraft Motorsport for giving me lines and helping me improve. Potenza Racing Engines for the power, and my family for funding my racing and my parents for driving me places.

May 5th racing at Larkhall as there is many fast drivers from the British racing looking to improve my times! This was a great weekend as I not only improved my times but I made my first A final! And I’m glad I did with overtaking 15 karts to gain a better position!

Saturday practice:
In the morning I was about a second off the pace but in the last three sessions of the day we changed a set up and I went 1 second faster in one and another half a second quicker in the next! After starting half a lap behind the pack I managed to catch them and overtake some of them!
