Starting My Karting Journey

Hello everyone! It’s been a while since my last blog post, so I wanted to update you on what I’ve been doing over the past couple of months. First off, I’m thrilled to announce that I officially registered for the 2026 Superone Championship—and I was lucky enough to snag my chosen number, 43. The excitement is real; I can’t wait to start racing! Back in November, I had another test day with the X-Kart team at Hooton Park. I was especially looking forward to this session becau

So, on Sunday I went to Warden Law for the first time to do a test day, I was so excited to test out a new track. So the day started early as the track is in Sunderland which is around 2 hours 15 minutes away from where we live so we had to get up really early to get on the road and be at the track for 8.30, this was so I could do the track walk with Jack and also register myself there and get a membership. I couldn’t contain my excitement that morning and woke up earlier tha

So, it’s been a while since my last blog post so thought I’d catch you all up on what I’ve been up to. First, I’ve done more test days in my kart, a few at Hooton and one at Whilton Mill. My test day at Whilton was amazing and I learnt so much, first I started the day off doing a track walk with Jack, then it was time to get geared up and head out on my first session with all the other Micromax karts. Now that very first time round the track I took my time, learning how both

There’s a certain kind of nervous excitement that comes with trying something new, especially when that “something” involves speed, split-second decisions, and the unpredictable forces of nature. I’d long been drawn to motorsports, watching glossy Formula 1 cars pirouette through rainy circuits and drivers wrangle their vehicles through the streets & circuits. But until recently, my only experience behind the wheel was confined to the dry, forgiving tarmac of my local indoor

The Race Begins Long Before the Lights Go Out There’s a special kind of anticipation that comes with attending a Formula 1 race. The mere thought of seeing the world’s fastest cars and most talented drivers compete in a whirlwind of speed and strategy is exhilarating. For years, I had watched the races on television, listening to the commentators’ excited voices and the television speakers’ imperfect attempts to capture the thunderous roar of the engines. I couldn't quite bel

🚨 Big News! 🚨 I’m beyond excited to finally share something I’ve been working toward — I’m officially joining the Xkart team! 🏁💥 After an awesome and successful outdoor test day with Xkart, I’m proud to say I’ve earned my spot on the team. This is such a huge step forward for me, and I couldn’t be more pumped for what’s ahead! For the rest of the 2025 season, our main focus will be testing as much as possible and getting me comfortable and confident on outdoor tracks. I’l

Outdoor Karting Today was the day I was finally going to go and test in an outdoor kart! I was so excited and couldn’t wait to get in the kart. I was doing the test at Hooton Park with Team Karting using one of there old Xkart karts, coming along to coach me was my driver coach Jack Burgess who currently drives in the junior fiesta championship and currently sits 1st in the standings. When we got to the circuit we met up with Mark & Tom from Team Karting and Jack, I watched t

My first Monday night in the junior academy I was happy and excited! I couldn’t wait to get in the kart and get going. When we arrived at TeamKarting it was really busy and I could see lots of other boys and girls in there race suits, Mark came to see us and told me to get my helmet on ready as I was going to go out in the beginner kart first to see how I could deal with the faster speeds and the heavier kart. Now in bambino’s the marshals have the karts out on track ready bu

My first Tuesday night session with the Bambino’s was amazing! When we first got there we met Mark and he shown us all of the karts the older children use for racing! I was so excited and kept telling my mum and dad I can’t wait to do that. After that Mark asked me if I was ready to go fast tonight? Obviously I said yes! I couldn’t wait to get out there. Once I was dressed in a suit and had been given a helmet it was time to get on track, I was excited and nervous at the same

So I now have my bambino license and I'm desperate to go driving in a kart again, my mum and dad have found a place I can do that called Team Karting and they’ve booked me in on one of there arrive and drive sessions on a Sunday morning. I’m super excited but nervous at the same time, I don’t know what to expect but I’m going to try my best! First time at Team Karting We arrive at the indoor track on a cold Sunday morning and let me tell you it was even colder inside! When I

Hi I’m James I’m 7 years old and I LOVE motorsport, especially Formula 1 but will watch any form of motorsport. When I grow up I want to be an F1 driver and to get anywhere close to there I needed to start karting. First Time In A Kart So back in October 2024 my Mum and Dad found out I could take part in lessons and get my Bambino license also. They found a track close to us called Three Sisters Race Circuit and they had space for me to do the lessons which was great. Once th
