Joe Pro Karting

About Me

My passion is racing and my dream is to race in Formula 1 like my idol Max Verstappen. I am 13 years of age and a Senior Cadet at Team Karting Rochdale where I compete with a talented group of young drivers. Last summer I took part in the Senior Cadet Championships and finished on the podium in third place overall after 9 tough rounds of racing.

​

I am now competing in the Indikart Series at Hooton Park this season in the Junior Rotax 2 Stroke Class. This will be an exciting opportunity for me to develop my racing career. 

​

As well as competing in petrol go-karting, I have built and raced an electric go kart with my racing team at school. We are currently competing in the GreenPower competition. This competition is a unique challenge using STEM technology to produce a race car. In our first race we won most resilient team and best newcomer in July. 

​

I work hard at school and I was the only pupil in my year 7 to achieve a Science attainment award. I enjoy the engineering side of racing and like solving problems to achieve the best results. I am also competing in the F1 for Schools Challenge as part of a team. 

​

I love the challenge that sport presents and I also compete in Cricket and Boxing. I am a team member at Paramount Boxing Club and benefit from the extremely tough training sessions. This fitness helps me in my driving as well as giving a competitive edge.

​

I am working hard to achieve my ambition in racing but I also need assistance with sponsorship to fund my race kart, maintenance, equipment and race fees.  In return for supporting my next season I will give regular updates on my website, Facebook and Instagram page. There will also be coverage of my races on You Tube from each round of the race series.  Please contact me for further details on how you can be part of this exciting opportunity and adventure.
