I started racing in owner-karts in January 2022. We set-up our team ‘JHR Kart Team’ from scratch and we have been developing and working hard throughout the year in three different Rotax Championships we compete in. In-between our race schedule we test at some of the UK’s most famous karting circuits and compete in one-off events…. Find out more

BMKR Championship

Round 1 of the BMKC 2023 Championship

This weekend is the start of the BMKR 2023 championship. The weekend started wet & cold with conditions improving for Sunday’s race. Qualifying didn’t quite go to plan. On lights out in the first pre-final I held my position and pushed as hard as I could to make up some places finishing the race in 10th. The 2nd pre-final I finished where I started and the final was a slight improvement with a drop nose penalty. Click here to read full article

Start of the LIKC 2023 Summer Championship

It’s been a busy week of karting, and this weekend is no different. We are down at Lydd International Kart Circuit for the start of the LIKC 2023 Summer Championship over the next three days. Sunday went well. We qualified on the front row in 2nd place, at the start of the first race we held our position and pushed hard to overtake the leader but just couldn’t quite manage it, so we finished heat one 2nd with fastest lap of the race.
