Late race report from Racing Awareness R1 at Daytona Motorsport Sandown Park at the beginning of the month.
We made a double entry for this event, fielding teams in both cups!
Heading both teams was MAD DOG founder Reece Harris Racing, the 7x Sandown champion was keen to take on the challenge of aiming high in both classes.
Joining him in the Drivers Cup were fellow Sandown experts Steve Hannon & Vivek Bhalla, both also having championship success at the Surrey track.
Our Corporate Cup line-up was completed by MAD DOGโs youngest driver Zack Llewellyn-Morris, also our most successful driver in the Southern Rental Kart Championships along with multiple Sandown podium finisher Diogo Leal and former Sandown regular David Amato, who was also the 2025 SRK Novice Summer Cup Vice-Champion.
Also of significance in this event that was to support ADHD UK is the first 3 mentioned of our 4 Corporate Cup drivers have ADHD themselves, making a strong class result even more important on a personal level.
Our corporate Cup team managed to lead overall with Zack at the wheel, proving yet again why MAD DOG signed him up late last year, all 4 drivers put in strong stints to bring it home 9th overall and 3rd in class, more definitely wouldโve been possible if not for some bad luck under a full course yellow, but this only motivates us for next time.
Our Drivers Cup team initially struggled with an off-pace kart but ultimately clawed its way back into the top 6, snatching 5th place on the final lap with a great move by Steve, making it both MAD DOG teams in the top 10 overall.
Special mention to Charles Boniface #14 who was part of our 2nd place at last yearโs CRG World Contest for helping with strategy and even dropped by in person during the race.
Weโre already looking forward to round 2 at Silverstone Karting.
