image © Karting Everything This season’s Mini X30 championship has quickly become a 3 way fight between Gabriel Stilp, Leo Robinson and Vinnie Phillips. The trio have been the only drivers to make it to the final podium, and hold the top 3 places in the championship. It looked like it was going to be business as usual in heat 1. But this time, Stilp and Robinson were able to push each other along at the front, while Phillips fought his way through from the back. Phillips ended the race…

image © Karting Everything The Senior X30 class has been one of the most hotly contested classes of the UKC season. But with the news that Callum Bradshaw was heading back to Europe with TonyKart, it meant that things in the championship were about to get a lot closer. The opening heat saw the 3 title protagonists finish in the top 4, with Matt Armstrong taking the top spot after snagging the lead from Caden McQueen in the closing stages. McQueen would end up 4th behind Connor Jupp who lead…

image © Karting Everything The Senior Rotax field is usually a pretty close fought contest, as shown by the championship standings, lead by James Lingard who hasn’t won either of the finals this season. Those honours have gone the way of George Smith who sits 2nd and Travis Coyne who sits down the order having missed the opening round. The Senior max field has also seen multiple drivers join the series for just one round, and it was one of those drivers who set the pace. That driver, Jake Gresty.…

image © Karting Everything The 3rd round of the Ultimate Kart Championship would see a smaller grid of 13 Honda cadets take to the track to blast through the half way point of the championship. The good news was all of the title contenders were present at Three Sisters, meaning the fight for the top honours would still be a hard fought one. Saturday’s opening heat would see a close battle for the win, but Blake Ticehurst would come out on top over Connor Duncan with Henry Joslyn completing the…

image © Karting Everything The third round of the Ultimate Kart Championship saw drivers head to Three Sisters for the only national kart race of the season around the North Western circuit. In the junior max championship, one name has been at the top of the time sheets, that being Mattie Hingeley and Ultimate R. Will things stay the same at their home circuit? Well the weather wouldn’t make life easy for any of the drivers. The opening heat of the weekend saw Hingeley take the win from the front…

Image © Josh East Gabriel Stilp stamped his authority on the Mini X30 class at Rowrah, and sits 5 points clear at the top of the standings. With 14 other drivers looking to take his lead away from him, it would have the makings of a close fight. The opening heat would go exactly how Stilp would of wanted, as he took a dominant win from pole position, with over 2.5 seconds in hand over Leo Robinson. Robinson would be chased home by team mate Phillips who were both looking…

Image © Karting Everything A 30 strong grid of Honda Cadet drivers descended on Whilton Mill for the 2nd round of the Ulitmate Kart Championship. Cadets usually provide the closest racing of the weekend, and the Hondas were ready to not disappoint. Saturday’s opening heat Joshua Graham take the victory having started off 13th. That was noting compared to Gustavas Usakovs who came home 2nd by just half a second, who started the race outside the top 20. As did Connor Duncan, who came home 3rd. Charman managed to climb…

Image © Karting Everything Once again, the Senior Max field was the smallest in the UKC paddock with just 10 drivers taking to the track, possibly due to a clash with the opening round of the Rotax Euro Max trophy. Despite this, the racing was still pretty close. The opening heat showed how close it would be, as Travis Coyne took the win by just 2 tenths over James Lingard with Myles Barthorpe almost 2 seconds adrift in 3rd. The worrying sight was championship leader George Smith finishing the first…

Image © Karting Everything At Rowrah, the Junior Max class had one name rise to the top of the time sheets, that being Ultimate R’s Mattie Hingeley. Would Whilton Mill see a repeat of his results? Hingeley picked up where he left off, taking the opening heat win of the weekend. Just over a second behind was Finley Harrison. Jumping up through the field was Luis Gardner who climbed 10 places up to 3rd at the flag, being chased home by Tristan Rennie and Neo Clarke who were within half…
