How I started karting: Indoor karting at F1 Indoor Karting every week in my Honda Cadet. Started taking it outside at Warden Law and by the time I was 7 I had a lot of driving experience, but needed to work on my overtaking. At 7 years old I was able to practice at most other circuits which I did and took my ARKS test in the January before I turned 8 years old. My first ever race was on my 8th birthday at Rowrah - a circuit I had never been on before. I did the Little Green Man round and finished 12th out of 32 and have progressed ever since.
