I am writing this some 10 months on from the actual event, mainly just to keep a complete record of James’owner driver karting. There was a fair amount of pressure going into the final round, something James will need to get used to moving forward. Basically it was 2nd or 3rd in the championship depending […]

An expensive but ultimately productive meeting! Saturday started wet and horrible. Session 1 – full wet and for some reason just could not get the kart to work, simply no grip even with our best wet set-up. Session 2 – No better, and feeling down. What to do? Lewis “I’ve got a Synergy chassis in

After Round 3 we decided James was finding the Project One Kart difficult to drive and set-up to his liking. Add that with James’ limited feedback we were going to continue to struggle. What do we do next? Well a test day with Virtus at Wilton Mill where we back to back compared the P1
