This wasn't the hardest part of our first British Kart Championship weekend...

One moment of racing. One big change to the weekend.

A setback in practice and straight into problem-solving mode for the team.

Not how we wanted to start, but that's motorsport.

What happened next mattered far more than the crash itself.

More to follow. 👊🏁

Happy Birthday, 🎉

One of my closest friends in karting and someone I've shared a lot of great memories with over the last couple years.

Last season was a brilliant one for you, winning Rookie of the Year in both Club100 championships and now racing against the very best in the Rotax Inter.

Hope you have an awesome day, mate. Looking forward to catching up at the track and seeing what the future holds for you. 👊🏁

Enjoy your birthday! 🎂

We're delighted to announce that Jacob Underhill is joining Elevate Human Performance.

As Jacob continues his development on and off the track, working with a team that specialises in elite motorsport performance is a significant step forward in his journey.

Elevate Human Performance supports drivers and teams at the highest levels of motorsport, delivering science-led coaching focused on physical preparation, recovery, resilience, and sustainable high performance.

Jacob Underhill:

"I'm really excited to start working with Elevate Human Performance. Motorsport is becoming increasingly demanding both physically and mentally, and I want to make sure I'm developing every aspect of my performance. Having access to Martin and the team will help me build stronger habits, learn more about myself as an athlete, and continue improving both on and off the track."

Martin Poole, Elevate Human Performance:

"Jacob has already demonstrated impressive speed and commitment at a young age. What stood out to us was his willingness to learn and his desire to continually improve. We're looking forward to supporting his development and helping him build the foundations required for long-term success in motorsport."

Success in karting isn't just about speed. It's about preparation, consistency, decision-making under pressure, and the standards you set every day.

People often see the race result. They rarely see the work behind it.

This partnership is about building the driver behind the helmet.

🇬🇧 Debut

The results sheet never tells the full story.

Friday started positively with strong pace from the first session. A crash in Session 3 meant a rush to rebuild for Session 4, and then a battery issue cut our running short.

Qualifying was where experience made the difference.
In BKC, a four-minute session leaves no room for mistakes. We left the pits slightly early, missed the train of karts behind and found ourselves without a tow, which left us starting both heats from P23.

From there, it was time to race.
➡️ Heat 1: P23 → P17
➡️ Heat 2: P23 → P16
➡️ Super Heat: P15 → P22
➡️ Final: P33 → P20

The objective coming into the weekend was simple: qualify for the main final.

Mission accomplished.

To finish inside the Top 20 on our British Kart Championship debut, against the best junior drivers in the country and with limited experience in the category, is something we're proud of.
Most importantly, we've come away with a huge amount of learning that will make us stronger for the next time.

Thank you to everyone who supports the journey.

We're only getting started. 👊

🎤 A pretty special moment from my first British Kart Championship weekend.

After working through the Motorsport UK pathway over the last few years, it was great to be interviewed by Alpha Live at the highest level of British karting.

The weekend had its challenges, but we kept fighting, made the final, and came away with a top-20 finish on debut.

Lots learned. Lots to improve. Plenty more to come. 👊🇬🇧

British Kart Championship | Day Two 🇬🇧

A challenging qualifying session left Jacob starting P23 for both heats, giving him plenty of work to do against one of the strongest fields in UK karting.

What followed was exactly the response we wanted to see.

Through some hard but fair racing, Jacob fought his way forward, making a number of strong overtakes and gaining valuable positions across both heats to put himself firmly back in the fight heading into Sunday.

The progress means he will start the Super Heat from P15, with one clear objective: continue moving forward and secure a place in the main final on his first British Kart Championship appearance.

A lot of learning, a lot of resilience, and still plenty to race for tomorrow. 👊

British Kart Championship | Day One 🇬🇧

A positive start to our first weekend in the British Kart Championship at PF International.

Strong pace throughout the day running comfortably in the midfield against some of the best drivers in the country. Unfortunately a sizeable incident with another competitor put us slightly on the back foot heading into tomorrow.

Part of the learning curve at this level, but plenty of positives to take forward.

Focus now shifts to qualifying and the heats tomorrow 👊
