Dunkerswell Southern Championship 🏁

Well, what a weekend! A lot of lows, but plenty learnt from it, and we came away from the final on a high. 💪

Saturday – Test & Qualifying
Ethan struggled, and none of us could quite understand what was going on. But he stayed resilient, kept plugging away and never gave up.
Qualified P15 out of 21.

Sunday – Race Day
A challenging day. We had engine problems in the Pre-Final and unfortunately had a DNS. We then put our practice engine on for the Final and hoped for the best. Results below

🏁 Heat 1 – P15 ➡️ P14
🏁 Heat 2 – P15 ➡️ P13
🏁 Pre-Final – DNS – engine problems
🏁 Final – P20 ➡️ P9 🔥

From P20 to P9 in the Final was a fantastic drive from Ethan. He dug deep, kept fighting and finished the weekend on a real high.
Proud of the resilience shown this weekend. ❤️🏁💪.

@colesracing had an amazing weekend. A big shout to -
@af_racinguk on his P1 + SW plate 👏
@emanzi_motorsport on P2 👏
Marley Fisher on his P4 👏

🏁 Forest Edge Championship – Round 6 🏁

Saturday's practice went really well, with Ethan showing consistent pace and looking comfortable on track. Things were looking positive heading into race day. 👊

Sunday morning, however, brought plenty of drama. Just as we were about to head out for practice, the kart refused to start. 😩 We missed the session and genuinely thought our race weekend was over before it had even begun. Thankfully, after some frantic work in the paddock, the issue was traced to the starter motor brushes. Problem solved, panic over, and we were back in business! 🔧💪

The results: 🏎️ Heat 1: P4 ➡️ 🥈 P2
🏎️ Heat 2: P11 ➡️ P6
🏎️ Heat 3: P12 ➡️ P7
🏁 Final: Started P3 ➡️ 🥉 Finished P3

A great recovery after such a stressful start to the day, with some strong drives and another podium finish to round off the weekend. 👏

Well done to my team mate @zacb.57 on his P1. Thank you to @colesracing for all their support. Also, @bullet.race.engines for the power.

A huge thank you to all of Ethan's sponsors, supporters and everyone who continues to back him throughout the season. Your support means everything and is hugely appreciated. ❤️🏁 taken in Forest Edge Kart Club by @ecoup43

Whilton Mill Championship – Round 5
A challenging weekend at Whilton Mill.
Practice was positive, with Ethan showing good pace, but qualifying didn't quite come together, leaving him P21.

Heat 1: P24
Heat 2: P22
Final: P26 (after receiving a penalty for a dropped nose)

It wasn't the result we were hoping for. In both heats, Ethan was pushed off the track, making it difficult to recover and move forward. Unfortunately, that's part of racing and sometimes things just don't go your way. Well done to my team mates @lennie_dorrington_racing and Marley fisher on their fantastic drive 👏.

We'll take the positives from the weekend, learn from it, and come back stronger at the next round.
Thank you to @hendo_4051 for all the support over the weekend and @colesracing. Also, @bullet.race.engines for the power.

A big thank you to everyone who continues to support us. On to the next one! 🏁 taken in Whilton Mill International Kart Circuit. by @ecoup43

Ethan was on fire from practice right through race day, showing fantastic pace all weekend.

Heat 1: P6 to P1 (fastest lap)
Heat 2: P2 to P1 (fastest lap)
Heat 3: P11 to P3
Final: P1 - DNF

After pole position for the final, Ethan had warned there was an issue with the kart after Heat 3, but unfortunately it wasn't resolved. The engine cut out on the rolling lap, but he managed to restart it and get back onto the front row just before the green flag. He held onto P1 for the opening lap before the kart completely cut out, forcing him to retire and watch the rest of the race from the side. We have found out today it was the battery.

Luck plays a big part in motorsport, and this weekend it wasn't on our side. The positives are Ethan's outstanding driving throughout the weekend and the fact he has moved from 9th to 2nd in the championship. We'll be back stronger next time!

Well done to my team mate @lennie_dorrington_racing who smashed his personal best. You drove amazing 👏.

🏁 Clay Pigeon Kart Club – Round 5 🏁

It was great to be back at Clay Pigeon for Round 5.

Saturday practice showed some strong pace, and Ethan carried that speed into race day on Sunday.

Unfortunately, Heat 1 didn't go to plan. A kart spun directly in front of Ethan, leaving him with very little time to react. Faced with either hitting the other kart and risking a flip or avoiding action into a tyre wall, Ethan chose the wall 🤦‍♀️. The impact left him with a sore wrist and hip, resulting in a DNF and forcing him to miss Heat 2.

At that point, Ethan wanted to call it a day, but he showed incredible resilience, determination, and character. He got back in the kart for Heat 3 and produced an outstanding drive to take the win.
Race Results

🏎️ Heat 1 – P8 → DNF
🏎️ Heat 2 – DNS
🏎️ Heat 3 – P3 → 🏁 P1 - Fastest lap
🏎️ Final – P16 → 🏁 P6 - Fastest Lap

To come back from a heavy impact, overcome the disappointment, and then finish the day with a Heat win and a charge from P16 to P6 in the Final was a fantastic effort.
A result to be proud of and plenty of positives to take into the next round. 👏💪🏁

Well done to my team mate @lennie_dorrington_racing
And thanks for putting up with us!
