Since i was little i always liked cars and bikes, i live near the home ground of the Ipswich Witches speedway team and regularly go to watch them with my family, then one cold wet january day in 2024 i was looking for something to watch on netflix and came across drive to survive, i started watching it and fell in love with the action and personalities on the screen, a few weeks later my school released their selection of activity weeks for the end of the summer term and one of the weeks was a “dts” week, one of the days was a karting day at our local indoor circuit, Anglia Indoor Karting, mum said i had to give it a try as if i didn’t like it there would be little point picking that week, so we booked a session and off i went, immediately i was in love, the thrill, excitement and the adrenaline mixed together, when i was in it for the first time it felt fast (ha!) and i progressed further and further in those electrics, then soon enough i was in the petrol karts downstairs, that felt like a big upgrade, and every session the smell made me that much more obsessed with the sport and every little thing in it and the faster and faster the karts got the more i excitement i felt, everytime i hopped into a kart, no matter what it was my goal was to go as fast as possible and stay on track, which i do (most of the time!)….
Some of my goals (for now) are: podium in a race in the ellough park junior rookie league, get an A or B final in one of my club 100 rounds later in the year, podium in a red lodge youngstarz endurance race and hopefully get a few wins, though these are only temporary as the more experienced i get the more goals i get, and hope to achieve more and more.
