My name is Tomas, and I am 12 years old from Little Eaton in Derbyshire. I began karting aged 9 after driving an indoor corporate kart at Teamsport in Nottingham. A few months later, and with a 11 year old Honda Cadet kart we had purchased for just £400, we entered our very first race and finished 13th of 20 entries in by far the oldest kart on the grid!

The following year (2023) I entered the full season of club rounds at both Teesside and Fulbeck, and won my first ever championship at Fulbeck.

This last year, 2024, I entered three national championships – Independent Privateers Kart Championship and UK Kart Series in Honda Inter class, and BWR in Tillotson T4 Junior. I took the championship win in all three! Based on these results my family decided that, despite the huge costs involved, we would move up to the Junior Rotax class in 2025 and hope to find a sponsor.

Taking the opportunity to get some racing practise in late this year in the new Rotax , I got off to a flying start taking 5th place in my first race weekend, and 2nd place a few weeks later!

Next year I plan to enter the full championship seasons in both the national JKC Championship, and ultra-prestigious PFI circuit club championship. This will be around 15 races, each of which will cost between £900-£1300 per meeting in entry fees, tyres, awning space etc.

I know that I can make a career in motorsport, and at this new level will need sponsorship to make further progress with my career. I believe I can bring great value to a sponsor, and will bring as many successes in the new class as I have achieved in Honda and T4.

My name is Eden Salvidge & I started karting in the corporate karts earlier this year at Bayford Meadows. We bought a 2nd hand OTK 950 kart in the Summer & have entered races in the Rotax Inter class at Bayford Meadows, Buckmore Park & Lydd IKR in the last 3 months.
In this short time I have had many podium finishes & currently hold the lap records at Lydd & Bayford Meadows in the Rotax Inter class.
My dad is the mechanic & he has had to learn quickly as he has never done this before, but this does mean we spend a lot of time together which is great!
We have just bought a junior chassis for next year which we will compete at the same race events as we did in the Inter.
We would love to get some sponsorships to help us move forward & compete at a higher level as I believe that I can compete against the very best & get great results. The results in the short time I have spent in the Rotax Inter class with no experience proves I have the passion for racing!!

My name is Louie and I have been racing in senior rotax for over a year now. I have always dreamed of racing, from a young age I would go with my grandad to Brands Hatch for all kinds of race meetings, if it has an engine and wheels I’d want to see it racing. Racing is in my family blood as my grandad used to race motorbikes back in the late 60’s/early 70’s on a Greeves 250 bike and even shared a grid with the great Barry Sheene. My dad also loves racing and took me to F1 and Moto GP when I was a kid.

There is love for racing across my family, my cousin Billy raced karts and he kindly let me have a go in his senior rotax on a test day and from there I fell in love with karting. As soon as I finished school/college and went into a full time job I saved up to buy myself a kart. I work 2 jobs, one full time and the other in a restaurant in the evenings, just to afford racing as unfortunately I’m not from a as financially blessed background as most people in karting are.

I started my karting career by diving straight into the deep end of owner driver racing, having never even done a race before not even in rental karting, I had only ever having done a handful of arrive and drive rental sessions. I started in senior rotax with no clue what I was doing in regards to the mechanics of the kart, set up, etc and I have learnt so much about it over the last year or so and have a great knowledge and understanding of my kart now. I am getting on well with my goal of catching up with the front pack, most of whom have been karting for years, I am finally getting a better understanding and feel for the kart and what is it doing and how to correct it so I can push it even further. In 2025 I am hoping to close the gap from me and the front runners even more, hopefully even getting a podium finish. Unfortunately I can only do one race a month due too my financial situation, meaning I don’t have the seat time others do but no excuses just have to push harder on the test days and race weekends that I do have! Sponsorship would help me out massively achieve my racing dreams being able to compete in more races and having more seat time would really help me progress.

My 2025 plans are to compete in the MVKC full Championship as well as doing a couple of guest rounds at BMKR and WMKC.

My name is Oliver,

I’ve been karting since January of 2023 and have made great progression since my first year.

Outside of karting I love to play on my Xbox with my friends, go on my scooter and bike and of course play on my kart sim to make sure I’m fully prepared going in to a race weekend.
I’m not a big fan of school like most kids but I do enjoy PE and maths I also teach myself French in the evening with the duolingo app.

I managed to get my first podium in November of 2023 at forest edge getting 3rd place. Since then I have had 21 more podiums of multiple 2nd’s and 3rd’s with one final race win.

In 2024 I completed my first national series with the kart championship which I managed to finish 18th overall but I did miss the final round and had bad luck in a couple of rounds, one being at warden law where a driver went over the top of me on test day and broke my hand but I carried on over and finished the weekend.
I also had a few top 10 finishes so I’m excited as to what 2025 brings.
