Alongside the kart, the real work continues ahead of the race season which kicks off next week! I’m not bad at sorting the brakes, but we needed Terry to spend some time going through the entire car to check it out after our winter servicing. Should be ready soon...

Kart project progress report. Things are happening. Despite getting all those tools together, I pretty much immediately needed a spanner size I didn't have. Live and learn...

Ah man, I love race kit; especially gloves. I don’t buy new kit every year, but for this season - thanks to @demontweeksmotorsport and their sponsorship scheme - I’ve got some fresh new gloves… and for the first time I’ve gone red! What sort of kit do you get excited about?

Here is my other project for 2025, a 2016 Tonykart Rotax Max. There’s a fair bit to do, and I’m really no mechanic, so it'll be a learning experience. First job is to get the engine off and get it to my house. Then I’d better buy some spanners and get cracking! 🖖🏼

Finley's progress has been brilliant, reducing his lap time every session. He ended up only 0.5s off the pace last time, against kids with far more experience. Of course there is still a long way to go... but he's made a great start and I’ll keep posting about his progress.

Darrell at BPM Claims has a son called Finley, who wants to get started in racing. So, this year I’m coaching him in karts 🤩 . We’ve started off at Bayford Meadows in Sittingbourne, doing junior practise sessions in their hire karts.

Nick comes to as many races as he can and is brilliant at getting involved. He is chief onboard camera man, looks after guests and even presents his own end of season awards too 🏆 🎥😄

I can’t afford to fund the Mazda racing myself, so I rely on the fantastic generosity of my partners. So far for 2025, I have received support from Nick at Cambridge FD and Darrell at BPM Claims.

I’ve also picked up a bit of a project to work on at home throughout the year. And I’m coaching a young lad called Finley, as he takes his first steps in karting. Lots of fun to be had!

So now attention has turned to 2025. I’m keen to have more success in Miata Trophy, but it’ll be hard to win the championship again as the grid is getting ever more competitive and new drivers are coming in.

Obviously I can't manage to go racing alone. I’m fortunate to have fantastic support from my Dad, our mechanic Terry, my team mate / the team boss Alex and also all the crew at Miller Motorsport. Plus my brilliant family of course.

I’ve been lucky enough to race cars for several years and have had some success along the way. In 2023 we entered the Miata Trophy, racing at top circuits all over the UK. Whilst it was fun and we racked up plenty of good results that year, we missed out on the championship.

Hi everyone. I’m going to (try to) document my 2025 racing season in more detail than previously. We're going to be tackling the Miata Trophy again and I have a few other things planned as well. It’ll be pretty raw and unpolished, so don’t expect too much…
