We still need to
Update on progress over the last four race, weekends with Zipkart with Esme sponsored by Vetcare at Home
But this weekend we were at Karting North East for the Ultimate Karting Championship
We missed out on Friday practice as Esme was at a school residential. On Saturday morning with no way of getting to the circuit with family a taxi was arranged with Steve's Cars
Esme
Qualified p6 out of 14
Heat 1 p6-p6
Heat 2 p6-p6
Prefinal p5-p9. A driver pushed Esme off the track receiving a 5 second penalty
Final p8-dnf
Esme drove amazing, making her way through the field to p5 before a kart went over the top of Esme. The race was red flagged and not restarted
Esme was so disappointed and genuinely thought she could have a podium, with a great kart set up pace and driving in the final.
After being checked out by the Ambulance Esme was found to have no major injuries.
We are very grateful for all the Marshalls, Medics and UkC staff who looked after Esme. We also wish the other driver involved a speedy recovery.
Looking forward to the next round.
