JHR Test day at PFI

Owner Kart

This was our fourth visit to PFI in recent months. We were testing lots of different kart set-ups. We found a set-up that worked really well for us resulting in a good day. We got faster and faster in each session and ended the day setting a personal best and that was on well used tyres that have done two previous race weekends and two test sessions, so we couldn’t have asked for more.

New Year Shakedown

It’s a brand new year and what better way to start it than to get out for the 2023 Buckmore Park New Year Shakedown test. As predicted, the weather was wet and cold but we didn’t let that stop us. We now have a few weeks before we kick off our first Championship of 2023 and the kart will be prepped ready for round 1. We can’t wait to get started. Click here to read full article

Owner Driver Track Time

Owner Kart

It’s half-term this week and we have been working hard testing and improving the kart. In 4 days we have tested at 3 different circuits: Lydd, Buckmore Park & Bayford Meadows. We’ve completed 370 laps, which was 276 miles. Clocking up all that track time was really useful, we learnt a lot, had a lot of fun, worked hard and have implemented a few additional changes to the kart ready for the next race in a few weeks.

Owner Driver Test Day, Lydd

Owner Kart

Today was an Owner Driver test day down at Lydd, so we headed down to get some practice in before the next round of the IKR championship next weekend.
The conditions are perfect for testing as I got to drive on wets and slicks. We also tried a few different set-ups to see what works best. It was a great day and was nice to see the Lydd team. As alway they are so welcoming and helpful.
