Jaiden Payne Racing

09/06/2026

TVKC club round 3.
Saturday wasn’t the best weather wise which meant trying to find a set up Jaiden was happy with was tough.

Once the weather dried up & a few tweaks were made we had a happy driver.
Qualifying could have gone better but we learn and we move forward.

Sunday heats weren’t too bad, Jaiden has the pace of the leaders and on occasion was faster! Jai managed a few 🟣 on sector 2 in heats and the final.

Jaiden started the B final in 4th place.. he quickly moved to 2nd and held that with a gap for a good few laps, unfortunately a few karts got past him and he dropped to 7th ish.. then comes the final lap & it got scrappy.. a kart stopped in front of Jaiden, Jai clipped the kart and spun onto the grass.. which meant he crossed the finish line in last place 🫤.
Positives to take away from the weekend, Jaiden has leaders speed and pace, 🟣 sectors are always good, he actually managed to cross the finish line 🏁 this time! No major kart damage luckily, we can take a bent track rod & no injuries to the boyo. I’d call that a win.
We learn from the good and the bad, push forward and on to the next.
Big thanks as always to the family for a good weekend.

Proud to be part of R1 Racing. Good luck to everyone this weekend

Today is a proud day for everyone involved with R1 Racing and Rookie Racing.
As the Rotax British Kart Championship gets underway, nine drivers line up on the grid in the brand-new Rotax E10 Electric Cadet category, a class that we have been honoured to help launch alongside Rotax 🤝

What you see today is the result of months of planning, testing, preparation and belief from drivers, families and the many people working behind the scenes to bring this exciting new chapter of karting to life. 📖

From introducing complete beginners through the Rookie Academy, to supporting drivers on the national stage with R1 Racing, creating clear pathways in karting has always been at the heart of what we do. To see nine E10 drivers taking their place on the grid at the British Championship is something we're incredibly proud of. ⚡️

A huge thank you to Rotax for placing their trust in us to help deliver this programme, and to Motorsport UK for their support and guidance as the category takes its first steps onto the national stage. 🙏

Most importantly, thank you to the families and drivers who have embraced something new and become part of the journey from day one. 1️⃣

Sounds like the perfect excuse to get yourselves back out on track for a bit of testing 👊🏁
Cooler temps, fresh air and plenty of laps waiting at Fulbeck… see you then!
