Warden Law Kart Club - British Pro Kart Endurance Club We did it !! 6 hours driving a Senior Pro Kart !!! 360 laps. Youngest team on track. Only ALL girl team. 2 stints each, an hour at a time. Weighted at over 185kg. Slick tyres only - even in the wet. We kept it on track, competitive times every lap and finished 10th out 19 in class and 33rd out of 44 overall. Amazing effort and achievement from all three girls and the Dads of course. Pit stops might need a bit of work for next time though .....
2024 SUPERPRIX – Shenington Kart Race Club
An amazing, successful and most enjoyable weekend. Competitive from first practise, running with the British Championship contenders, all fighting for the prestigious E Plate and tickets to the Iame World Finals. Friday Practise was great fun - even though we were all melting in the 30deg plus temps. Saturday TQ was split into groups - I qualified 7th in group. 16th overall from 48 Heat 1 - P12. Cooling temps and a loss of grip towards the end of the run, meant i couldn't make too much progress... Sunday P2 in warm up - giving me a great confidence boost. Heat 2 - P9 What a drive. An incredible [...]
2024 Shenington KRC Summer Showdown – June
So so good to be back in the seat and racing at the sharp end after 12 weeks off recovering from a broken rib. P17 in the FINAL out of 38. A tough grid of British Championship contenders testing ahead of the next round, made my return eventful but enjoyable all the same. Definitely had the pace and determination for top 10 again, but a few incidents in every heat, meant I had to start towards the back of the grid - but I still made up ten tough places, even with a red flag half way through. Thanks as always to all at Jade Racing Team - Jade Karts [...]

2023 Shenington KRC – November
First ever race weekend in a Junior X30 with Jade Karts and the Jade Racing Team A mixed bag of weather meant my very steep learning curve was going to be even steeper, starting the day on wets - but with the expert help and tuition from Marcus Littlewood - Racing Driver and support from Scott, Ross and all at my new team, I made huge progress every session and even got out on slicks by the end of the day. Race day - mixed weather and mixed grids. With no expectations I went out and had fun, getting to grips with the new kart, at a track I haven't [...]
2023 Whilton Mill Kart Club – FAST R Club Championships Awards
Iame Waterswift 950 Inter - 3rd Place Club Champion With 3 rounds dropped due to my wee accident in the middle of the season I still managed to secure 3rd place in the championship. Last run in the 950 chassis and not before time - as it was bit of a tight squeeze. The last round was extremely competitive and had I not been pushed off track in every race, by the same person I may well have finished a bit nearer to the podium, but my consistent results earlier in the season, allowed me to secure 3rd place overall in the Championship Special thanks to Jack Dex and Jaime [...]
