Motorsport Achievements

Many, many years ago during an open track day I posted the quickest street legal trim lap time at Laguna Seca, which was awarded with nothing other than bragging rights on that particular day.

The only other I can recall was much more fun. In my younger years I got into drag racing. At the time information exchange was much harder than it is now, and us younger "kids" hard a hard time breaking into the information base that the more experienced drivers had.

Unknown to some of the older crowd, a couple of them had helped us out with tips and information in exchange for helping them on their cars and such. My true night of acceptance was after sandbagging one of the older guys in a grudge match. I beat him by a little more than a fender in a slower car by getting a near perfect reaction time and launch.

After that day a lot more of the "old timers" took me and a couple others seriously and helped us out a lot more.

Congratulations A lot of people critisise professional drivers from their armchairs without understanding how tough it really is on track, well done

I came 2nd in Junior Rotax Max (Karting) in my second year in 2004. Finished on the podium in my first wet race.

Most recently led the TV Kartmasters British Kart GP in 2006 before being somewhat....suspiciously knocked in to a big crash which followed as i rejoined the track backwards Haven't raced at a professional level since then as i can't afford it anymore. Last race i done was a fun day event in pro karts for the Vibe FM/Kiss 100 Karting Challenge, a 2 hour endurance with Rotax team mate Rubens Morelli and driver coach and World Karting champ and F.BMW driver Olli Oakes......our team came 2nd after we got a stop go penalty for ramming and then had to change karts after ours broke :

Racing, great thrill when it lasts.

My darkest moment and biggest regret is missing last years FKM after a knee injury and failing to whipe that wooden spoon off Carl :

It happened again. This time third best reaction after heading the table for two hours last Wednesday. But couldn't improve as the fuel starvation problems began afterwards. Still, all good really.

And yes, I am the short*rse...
