🏆 What a way to finish the season!

A great weekend down at Clay Pigeon for the final round of the National Kart Cup where we managed to clinch the Andy Wagstaff Cup and finish 4th overall in the championship standings! 💪🏁

A massive thank you to our partners Wright Racing Engines and 🏁 Roalf Engineering Ltd 🏆 for another fantastic season together. We’ve shown strong pace all year and, most importantly, the consistency to put ourselves right at the sharp end of the championship.

Huge thanks to everyone who has supported us throughout the season - it’s been one hell of a year!

Now the season is done… all eyes on 2027. 👀🔥

New lid for 2026 and beyond! 💚💛💙

This helmet is an evolution of my previous design, keeping the same identity while turning up the intensity with bolder colours, sharper lines, and a fresh new look. I couldn’t be happier with how it has come together.

A huge thank you to MDM Designs for creating the artwork, and Nippy Designs for bringing it to life with an incredible paint finish. The fluorescent colours and metallic blue really pop, and the attention to detail is second to none.

Can’t wait to get it out on track! 🏁🔥

🏆 PODIUM AT THE NKC 0 PLATE 🏆

A solid weekend at Whilton Mill for Round 3 and the 0 Plate.

The weekend got off to a flying start with pole overall in wet qualifying, followed by strong heats that put us in a great position heading into the final.

The final brought plenty of drama - a tricky opening phase saw us lose some ground, before the red flag gave us a reset. With a single-file restart, we kept pushing and fought our way back through the field to take a hard earned podium finish 🥉

Huge thanks to our partners and for their continued support.

And as always, a massive thank you to our mechanics and ._ for keeping the karts performing at their best all weekend. 🔧🏎️

Onwards to the next one! 🚀

We discussed the pros and cons of Random Grids vs Timed Qualifying, the unique demands of Rowrah, and where drivers can really make the difference around the lap.

We also spoke about what’s ahead for 2026, with plenty to look forward to both on and off the track! 👀

Thanks again to Karting Live TV for the interview.

First laps at the brand new Silverstone kart circuit and what a track it is 👀🔥

This onboard gives a small taste, but it doesn’t fully capture how good it really feels. Elevation changes that keep you thinking, camber that rewards precision, fast flowing sections into long straights, and some properly technical tight twists… it’s got everything.

As a coach, time on a new circuit like this is essential. You can study layouts all day, but nothing replaces driving it yourself - feeling grip levels, understanding racing lines, braking zones, and where overtaking opportunities really are. Every lap is information, and that’s what I bring back to my drivers to help them improve faster and smarter.

Absolutely loving this track already and excited to be back here later in the year supporting drivers at upcoming events 🙌

🏁 Sljivar takes maiden British Championship win 🏆

A fantastic weekend at Whilton Mill Kart Circuit for the

Working with Benjamin Sljivar in Waterswift Restricted, Ben delivered a standout performance all weekend. Sharp, intelligent, and decisive driving saw him secure his first overall win on Saturday - a huge milestone!

He backed it up with a strong P5 finish in Sunday’s final, rounding off an incredibly consistent weekend.

These results now put Ben joint top of the championship standings - exactly where the hard work deserves to be.

Proud to support Ben alongside the Sljivar family. Thank you for the trust - this is what dedication, commitment, and countless hours behind the scenes look like when it all comes together.
