Future Plans
2012 : Fulbeck Club Championship (125 Open), withRamotak Racing
I have been involved in motorsport for over a decade now, first taking interest in 1999 by watching Formula One and taking in my first race with the BTCC at Brands Hatch that summer. In 2000, I competed in my first series of kart races, eventually being crowned champion at Lodge Road, the youngest of the eventual contenders.
The intervening years brought varying success; taking another two championships in 2004 (Lodge Road, Junior Rotax Max), and 2006 (PFi, Prokart Clubman Series). Racing nationally in 2004 and 2005, I was nationally seeded 13th in the JICA class in 2004. In 2007, I made the move to car racing, competing in the 750MC VW Golf Series with promising results, however the money ran out at the end of 2007.
After nearly four years out of competitive motorsport, I was given a chance to return towards the end of 2011 with Mark Javis' newly formed kart outfit 'Ramotak Racing'. After taking a podium in the second race with him, a 3rd place at Woodthorpe Kart Club in October, I will be joining them to do a full season at Fulbeck in 2012.
