Jack West Racing

Kimbolton round one

Heat 1: 29th ⬆️ 21st (10 second penalty): had a decent start avoiding the turn one crash. From there fought my way up the field managing to get into 10th. But on final corner had contact with another driver which resulted in me getting a 10 second penalty and dropping down to 21st.

Heat 2: 1st ⬇️ 5th: kept 1st for the first 3 laps after having a good start. But from there got overtaken and started dropping back. Managed to hold a 5th though to get us as high as we could on the grid.

Final: 17th ⬆️ 8th: had a good start avoiding the crash at turn one. From there made up some more places. And on final lap managed to get one more place after a turn one move.

Overall a decent weekend considering I had never been to this track before and have plenty to learn about how to drive it. I would like to thank for the support for the mega power as always. Huge thanks to for being the best on the spanners.

PFI Ice Breaker ❄️

Qualifying: P12. Originally 2nd but got a penalty due to contact with another driver.

Heat 1: P6 ⬆️ P3. Had a decent start but going into hairpin I didn’t cover the corner so got sent, losing 4 places. But managed to go through the field and on the last lap into P3.

Heat 2: P6 🟰 P6 fastest lap 🟣 had a bad start on the outside, it was tough to get over to the inside so dropped down to 10th. From there managed to get back up to 6th. But kept making silly mistakes, costing me and my teammate time so didn’t have enough laps to catch the pack ahead.

Final: P7 ⬇️ P13: got pushed off at the start and dropped down to 27th. Climbed up the order while setting some fastest laps.

Overall not the greatest end to a weekend. But massive improvements made. Big thanks to for the help and for the data and coaching. Thanks to for being the 🐐 on the spanners. And mega thanks to for the amazing power as always.

PFI Festive Cup

Quali: P3 overall

Pre-final: 2nd ⬇️ 8th: due to snow in the morning we had no heats so it was a pre-final and final. In this race I struggled a lot for grip and that meant I struggled for pace. But I knew I just had to keep it on track to be through to the A final.

Final: 15th ⬆️ 8th: had a good start but going into the chicane on the first lap got smashed into the back hard but just about managed to keep it on track this meant we dropped down to 19th. From there done loads of overtaking and getting through the pack to finish 8th.

Overall a great weekend considering I haven’t been here in 8 months.

Massive thanks👇🏻

Clay Round 10

Heat 1: 13th ⬆️ 7th: on the wrong wets for the conditions as we thought the track was good enough for worn down wets. But started raining when we where out there so struggled for grip, still managed to get a decent result.

Heat 2: 6th ⬆️ 1st 🟣 fastest lap: had a mega start getting into P3 at turn one then going round the outside at horseshoe to get into the lead and from there set fastest lap and pulled a 6 second gap.

Heat 3: 9th ⬆️ 2nd 🟣 fastest lap: great start getting up into P2 on lap 4 was catching up to first but didn’t have enough laps.

Final: P2 ⬆️ P1: had a good start getting into P1. From there had a lot of pressure from 2nd place but managed to keep cool and keep first for the whole race to get my first win in the wet.

Mega thanks to all year for the support. And a huge thanks to .clinton for always bringing the best setups and being the best on the spanners. Big thank you too for the amazing power all year.

FEKC Round 9

Heat 1: 7th ⬆️ 1st: Had a mega start getting into P3 on lap 1. Then P2 on lap 3 behind my teammate . Slowly caught up with a clean pass for the lead and to win the heat.

Heat 2: 8th ⬆️ 2nd 🟣 fastest lap: had an OK start gaining only one place. From there battled hard through the field to P2

Heat 3: 17th ⬆️ 6th (5 second penalty): this race was tough as through turn one was full wet and everywhere else on the track dry. Battled hard through the field, it was hard to overtake due to turn one was unpredictable at times. But still managed a P6 finish.

Final: 2nd 🟰 2nd: had a good start getting into the lead lap one making a late overtake into bus stop. At the end of lap 2 there was a battenberg flag for a crash at penultimate corner. This meant the pack was bunched very close together, I needed to try and pull away. On the restart pulled a 3 tenth gap but next lap got overtaken. I knew I needed to work with the leader to secure 2nd in the championship. Pulled a 3 second gap with the leader to 3rd and finished P2.

I would like to say a massive thanks to for the support and .clinton for always having the best setups and being the best on the spanners. Thanks to for the mega motors.

After a successful weekend at Forest Edge, we’re looking to carry this momentum into for round 8 of the championship ☝🏼

Back for round 7

Heat 1: 5th ⬇️ DNF 🟣 fastest lap: good start getting into 3rd straight away. Caught the leader, had a good battle & started pulling away then my bumper came loose on lap 9 so had to pull in on lap 10.

Heat 2: 13th ⬆️ 2nd 🟣 fastest lap: had another great start getting into 6th but got pushed back a bit a couple laps later as got caught up in a tiny incident. Managed to push from 8th to 2nd with fastest lap.

Heat 3: 11th ⬆️ 1st (5 sec penalty for drop down) ⬇️ 9th 🟣 fastest lap: had a mega start getting into P7, next lap P4. Finished P1 but unfortunately had a nosecone so dropped to P9.

Final: 15th ⬆️ 1st (5 sec penalty for drop down) ⬇️ 5th 🟣 fastest lap: going into the final I knew I had the pace to win but also knew I needed to get a move on quickly. Had a great start getting into P8 avoiding a turn one incident. P4 on lap 5. Then caught down the leading pack and overtook 3rd then 2nd. Then had a good battle for the lead managed to get it and build a 1.3 second gap in 2 laps but it was too close to the end to build a big enough gap and due to nosecone ended in 5th.

Overall not the greatest round. Had loads of pace but having a DNF in heat 1 messed my weekend up a lot plus getting drop nosecones. Thanks to for the help and .clinton for being the best on the spanners. Thanks to for the insane power 🚀

Clay Pigeon round 7

Heat 1: 24th ⬆️ 9th: had a good start gaining 5 positions from there came through the pack to finish 9th.

Heat 2: 10th ⬆️ 5th: not the best heat. Realised by this point my engine had lost a bit of power due to a crash the week before. Done the best I could.

Heat 3: 5th ⬆️ 4th: for this heat we had changed to our other motor as in the last one realised the motor we where using had lost power. Had a bad start dropping down to 11th. From there recovered it and managed to finish in 4th.

Final: 6th ⬆️ 2nd: had an alright start staying in 6th. From there battled hard to get to🥈

Back at for round 6

Heat 1: 12th ⬆️ 8th: great start to 7th, next lap up to 6th. Caught the pack ahead of me then had a collision with a driver as I was up the inside and he turned in causing me to drop down to last. Got back up to 8th setting purple sectors along the way.

Heat 2: 3rd ⬆️ 1st: pushed away with my teammate having some great battles before eventually taking the lead.

Heat 3: 15th ⬆️ 2nd: had an amazing start getting up to 9th, cutting through the pack, got to 2nd but didn’t have enough time to get close enough to overtake the leader.

Final: 1st ⬇️ DNF: kept the lead into turn one and pulled out a 4 tenth gap. But I knew it was gonna be tricky keeping the gap as many of the front runners had a race younger tyre as for their heat it rained. Kept the lead for 10 laps, then at lap 11 driver behind drives over the top of me. This caused me to DNF as exhaust and radiator had fallen off as well my spark plug was bent in half.

Overall not the best finish to a successful day. I would like to thank .clinton for being the 🐐 on spanners and for insane power. Well done to on the win in senior.

Super heat: 10th ⬆️ 4th 🟣fastest lap: due to the final heat it meant we where gonna start further back then we wanted too but I knew I had the pace to get to the front. Had a decent start then from there just overtaking and setting purples.

Final: 13th ⬇️ DNF: had a great start getting up to 7th and by lap 5 I was in 3rd. Then on lap 7 I got up to 2nd where I would stay all race till 2nd to last lap my wheel stubs snapped causing me to spin and go flying into a barrier at a high speed corner💥

Forest edge RD4 - SC plate day 2
Heat 1: 9th ⬆️ 1st 🟣 had a great start to 4th. Leaders were 1 second clear. Caught up & pulled 1.70 gap.

Heat 2: 3rd 🟰 3rd: as the grids where big there was an extra heat meaning some drivers got tyre advantage. Unlucky for me I was not one of the drivers. Got to P1 early on but couldn’t keep the new tyre runners behind.

Heat 3: 16th ⬆️ 6th 🟣had quite a bad start but came through field setting purples along the way.

Final: 3rd ⬆️ 2nd: had a 🫤 start dropping to 4th but managed to re claim 3rd and chased after the leaders. Caught up but just couldn’t overtake as they were both driving really well and times matching every lap. Finished 3rd on track but after pens moved up to 2nd 🥈

This meant we finished 2nd overall in Southern Championship, tying on points for 1st.

Very positive weekend and collected lots of FEKC championship points, currently sitting second.

Back at for Round 3 of

I was super excited to back at a national competition and first time in a junior at this demanding track, showing great pace in practice.

Heat 1: 12th ⬆️ 5th: had a great start getting into 5th then stayed there whole race. I had to keep defending as we didn’t have a lot of grip due to someone’s rad leaking in front of us. Still a great finish for heat 1.

Heat 2: 27th ⬆️ 22nd (with dropnose) : this was my back start and I knew it was gonna be tough in such a competitive field. Whole race was a dog fight and very hard to overtake. Finished 17th on track but got a nosecone so finished 22nd.

Heat 3: 14th ⬆️ 10th: alright start to the race lost a place but then rest of the race had to battle hard to get a top 10 finish and we knew after that result we would be starting mid pack for super heat.

Super heat: 11th ⬆️ 5th: had a good start and managed to move up to 6th after lap 3. Had some great battles going up and down the field but head down I finished 5th.

Final: 11th ⬇️ 17th (penalty): had a good start holding my position then rest of the race I was battling in a train of about 8 karts. Managed to hold my nerve and finished 12th (on track) a very good result considering I hadn’t been to this track in a junior and haven’t raced national level for quite a while.
