Karting in UK and Europe. Brilliant start at age 10, in Formula 6, winning or podium place almost every race. More difficult after that, as school commitments meant I couldn't take part in every test/practice/qualifying session and/or race. However, many podiums, amassed some 70+ trophies. Joint winner of Buckmore Park Series and 2nd in winter series 2000
