A report from our sponsored driver Jacob Ashcroft! Last weekend saw me take part in a totally new race class for me, Rotax Micro Max, this is a class for 8-11 year olds and you must hold a MSUK National race licence so I’ve had to work hard this year to complete the required 6 MSUK events to have my Interkart race licence upgraded to a National.
