Why did you start?
My father took me indoor karting one summer holiday as a treat, and we both got hooked, especially as I won my first ever race! He then bought me my first kart and we started competitive karting in Honda Prokarts, swiftly followed by TKM. After several years of karting I got the opportunity to try car racing and moved onwards to the 750mc Stock Hatch Championship, where I raced a Citroen Saxo.
