Karting Grand Prix for William Bennett

William Bennett an 11 year old kart racer from Brackley competed at the Kartmasters British Grand Prix last weekend. Working with Banbury based Jade Karts he drove his Birel IAME Waterswift to 23rd overall. His first attempt at the race saw him compete against 32 other drivers from the UK and across the world. ‘I had an amazing weekend, pushing hard at every opportunity’. The whole class was covered by 1 second with Bennett just 0.7 seconds off the leader. Following a red flag in the final Bennett was forced to take the restarted race in 30th, moving up 7 places in the 15 minute race.

The weekend started on Thursday 31st July with the race finals on Sunday 3rd of August.

Completing qualifying and heats left William in 32 place for the pre-final race, ‘ I had a few accidents and collisions over the weekend that had meant I haven’t managed to get the start position I really needed, I can only move forward from the back’.

Bennett now has a short rest in August before continuing his campaign at the Shenington kart club championship.
