Delayed race report for Super One Series at Shenington from the bank holiday weekend.

After the battering the chassis and I got from the Whilton Mill S1 round, a lot of welding of the kart chassis by Dad when he got back into the UK. We headed off to an event I look forward to...Shenington Kart Racing Club - SKRC.

I was back in the JWR awning and feeling like it was somewhere I now belonged. I worked hard Friday practice, focusing heavily on reducing lap times with my Instructor Joe Weaver. After a slippy start on a very green track it was an anxious Dad who had to place his trust in the team and Paul Weaver who said the track will come to us...do nothing on setup! JWR were absolutely correct and the kart did come to me over the course of the morning and the lap times improved not just each session, but in 80% of the cases...each lap.

In the tow we were with the back of the pack by the end of the day!

Saturday was wet to start with and the track dried rapidly in Qualification turning brand new full wets into intermediate rain tyres. Then it was raining on and off all day. I'd not driven the Junior in the wet in anger before. Just played around with it on slicks. But I listened to Joe and applied his teachings and improved my lap times again throughout the day. Positions were as follows:

QN = 27 of 28
H1 = 27 > 25 (+2 places)
H2 = 27 > 25 (+2 places)
FL = 27 > 25 (+2 places)

For the final race, the position doesn’t reflect the actual performance I put in. Dad had learned throughout the day also and gave me a good setup for a track that he thought would dry mid race. I struggled on for the first half of the race under pressure from behind then the kart came to me. I checked out from the pack behind and began catching the pack ahead by 0.5s a lap and only 9/10ths off the fastest lap, 20th fastest out of 28...back of the mid-pack!

With my mate and now team mate Charlie Gregg clinching the Intermax Title that day and there was buzz in the awning going into Saturday night.

Sunday was dry all day and now I had to learn the dry lines again with support from Joe and our mechanic neighbor Neil who gave me some tips for the third sector. Results for Sunday as follows:

QY = 25 of 28 (1.1s off the pace of the fastest lap)
H1 = 25 > 23 (0.85s off the pace of the fastest lap - but had a huge wreck that bent the steering column)
H2 = 25 > 24 (0.5s off the fastest lap but found the chassis was bent from the earlier wreck)
FL = 28 > 19

In the final I was 0.38s off the fastest lap. But I was lifting at the end of the straights as I never heard the engine make the noises it was making (14k RPM buzz). The RPM gauge went off the scale and I was worried the engine was in trouble. Turns out Dad hadn't updated the RPM scale and max RPM light from the inter (13.6k RPM). Also I'm on a very soft battered 2020 chassis, end of life engines and missing a few choice parts that would help bring that lap time down further. The entire fields 'fastest laps' spread was 0.6s so I was certainly on the pace with more to come.

Huge thank you to the whole Joe Weaver Racing Team...

Joe, Paul, Claire and Neil who all play a part in extracting so much pace out of me. I can't wait to do a full season with them in 2027.

Run out of images so robbed some of the teams images we shared earlier in the week. Sorry JWR.

Race report to follow for Shenington Super One 2026. We kept quiet about this one as Dad thinks being loud and proud ahead of an event maybe a jinx.

So in the meantime here's some behind the scenes photos from the weekend that show what really goes on at one of these events and why we love the sport.

Huge thankyou to my Polish Grandparents and my Aunty Marta for helping out paying for my new racing suit. It made a big difference to my performance as I had freedom to move. So again...Thank you so much.

End of practice at Shenington...

It's coming up to race week...and the prep begins after the family quite literally scattered across the globe after Whilton Mill at the start of the month.

I now sport a new look on my Bell Helmets KC7 helmet in preparation for the arrival of my new OMP Racing racing suit and rib protectors.

Now we have a bit of time, and myself and Dad are somewhat conscious in the real world. Time to put out the weekends race report for Whilton Mill Super One Series . It's a long one.

Friday Practice was a case of learning the track in the Junior Max. I struggled with bouncing and while Dad and Paul Weaver worked on improving the kart (rejig #1) my team mates gave me tips on the driving side of things that worked well for me. But as the day ground on fatigue crept in. I fell asleep in my chair in the team awning during lunch and slept from about 6pm to 7am that same night.

Going into Saturday Practice things were going well. As I passed the chequered flag and headed through oblivion I got a welcome tap from the kart behind. What came next was bruising to the internal organs and elbows. The medics cleared me to race, but the kart was in worse shape than me. The chassis needed a rejig ( #2) a new steering column and steering rod. We missed Qualifying with all that work to do so started last for heat 1. I had to DNS on the outlap. This set the tone of the day as we had what appeared to be a mysterious stretching throttle cable that wasn't actually stretching but would lock the engine at 3/4 throttle on the outlap forcing a retirement. Happened in Heat 2 also. Dad changed everything from the carburettor slide to the pedal. The. finding a loose jam nut on the throttle pedal. With that fixed I got into the final race and was with the pack but then began to lose power and DNF'd. This was the brass slide screw loosening off that Dad has missed in trying to work out what was going on.

Sunday was OK. Qualified not last, P31 of 34. Must have lied to Dad though as I actually started in P33 in heat 1 and finished P26 feeling racey.

Heat 2 my teammate Alex McCullagh got turned on Conrod straight in lap 2 and became stationary on the racing line. Another spun kart, off circuit, looked to be unsafely rejoining and I locked up in panic, sliding hard into the off circuit kart. 2nd trip to the medics and rejig #3. Where was that yellow flag! We normally big up the marshalls but Alex was stationary for several seconds on our onboard as karts dodged him with no yellow flag from the marshal directly beside him. This time it was my ribs that got a battering. In the Final I couldn't drive 100% with all my injuries. It was too much. I didn't quit, I toughed it out and collapsed in pain into Dad in park ferme who held me up until my strength returned and I could walk back to the awning.

Whilton was brutal but I showed some green shoots of promise to JWR.

Feeling much better today but do need to get some x-rays to make sure it's only the squidgy bits that are damaged and not bones as this would affect the final event.

Big thanks to Joe Weaver Racing, Paul Weaver for jigging the kart every day, my team mates and my Mum and Dad for all the hard work that went into the weekend.

The pictures are not the usual high energy, glossy, cuddly propaganda photos that flood Facebook after a race weekend. This is real racing...we suck it up, dust ourselves off to go again.

Huge thank you to Joe Weaver Racing for the support over the weekend in Super One Series at Whilton Mill.

Special thanks to my teammates who kept me motivated to develop and improve.

It's been the hardest weekend of my entire life. I'm battered, bruised from two big wrecks and need to rest but will find time to do a race report with some photos shortly.

Tell /Show me you're in Juniors without telling me you're in Juniors:

"2 chassis re-jigs in 24 hours, this little lot, and a ride in the ambulance to see the medics"

DFQ baby! We go again tomorrow.
