  • Join me for an action-packed weekend at Hooton Park as I compete in the 3rd round of the GXUK Championship 2024! It was a thrilling experience filled with close racing, tough battles, and valuable lessons.
    Despite a DNF and a penalty that put me on the back foot, I managed to fight through the field twice, climbing from 11th to 7th and then from 15th to 7th in the final. Witness the intense rivalry with Russell Endene and Simon Fuller, and a dramatic crash involving three karts in the final race.
    Throughout the weekend, I drove my best of the season and learned crucial setup techniques. Despite facing emotional blows, including a chain failure in Race 1 and a penalty in Race 2, the camaraderie and fierce competition made it an unforgettable event.
    Highlights:
    Battling through the field after a DNF and a penalty
    Close racing and rivalries with Russell Endene and Simon Fuller
    Dramatic crash involving three karts in the final
    Perfecting the kart setup during Saturday testing
    Emotional highs and lows, from mechanical failures to penalties
    Sitting 6th in the championship standings, only 35 points off 2nd place

    Did you not raise your hand up when your chain fell off and then again subsequently when you entered the pits due to nit being allowed to within your regs that mentioned or did you just forget to?

    Man I have been watching you since your iracing vids and even raced against you a few times. Guess who else went from iracing to karting, yep me. Cool to see that I am not the only one who took the leap. It is just so much harder than it looks on video it's hard to put into words. Never heard taking hands off the wheel was a penalty though, we do that all the time.

      Great to hear you have taken the plunge. Where and what toy racing? I have been karting for about 20 years though. Just never owners. This series is so good budget wise that it was worth taking the plunge for

      @@AlexVangeenRacing I am in Florida and I have raced at 5 different tracks in the lo206 heavy class. It has been an amazing experience so far from being off the pace to winning a club championship to taking a massive shunt at a national race. I have been on a break due to a wrist strain. Now I am gearing up to get back on track to finish the season.

      @@AlexVangeenRacing I have a Birel Art AM29 and an RY30, they have lost their popularity here as most of the fast guys are using American branded MGM or Coyote Chassis. I am probably going to move to an MGM next year to have better track support but I have been pretty happy with both of my Birels.
