Round 1 of Daniel Ricciardo Kart Series @ Hooton Park

This weekend was the first round of the Daniel Ricciardo Series and also my first time in the senior kart, going into the weekend oblivious to its power and ability, not much went right for us.

Ultimate Karting Championship Round 1

A last minute change in the regulations meant we also decided to do this years UKC championship we did it last year and thoroughly enjoyed it so I was pleased to be able to do this years. Due to clashes with LGM it’s now only a four round championship but will still be a lot of fun as Paul and his team put on a great event The venue was Whilton Mill so we were expecting a decent result, practice went well running in an engine and I was still quick.
