This is where Harrys Karting Journey began in January 2017, with a Virgin experience kart session at Rye house and he loved it, taking to the track at a snails pace in the wet on slicks he soon gained a little confidence to put his foot down a bit more all be it coming off track soaking wet after lots of wide corners and spins. And that’s when it escalated lol Enjoy these videos of my son Harry Hursts progress from practice session to Championships to owner kart practice, IKR and hopefully well beyond.
Harrys first one to one development session with Sam green late January at Rye house on a snowy evening with signs of some definite confidence building going on with lots of skiding and sliding . At this point we thought it a good idea to enter harry into the Monaco championship at Rye house not really knowing what to expect but Harry seemed very eager to join up .

This was a practice and endurance race today at Rye House for 8 to 15 years old and mixed teams , all a bit of fun with an endurance race at the end with teams of 3 people of mixed ages and abilities on 21st May 2017. A great day which gave Harry some experience racing with the older boys.
A development session on 18th June 2017 saw Harry take his first race win in the B Final at Rye house . Another great day out and Harry was ecstatic at his first podium which was very close between him and second place . Also a great confidence booster for him .
Another development session on 1st Sept 2017 saw Harry take another win in the B team final at Rye house flying off the start line and maintaining 1st place . Very pleased with himself and some more great confidence building.
16th Sept 2017 Saw Harry have another practice session before his Round 7 of the Monaco championship which he finished 5th in breaking his faster lap time getting 46.374. An excellent race.
5th December 2017 Harry was lucky enough to be able to take the NEW championship karts out for the very first time for a practice session at Rye house . He was very impressed with them and said they seemed faster than the others. He also managed to get 3rd fastest lap time of 46.381 seconds out of the two 1hr sessions that rye house laid on and we were very impressed with him. Onwards and upwards for next years championship.
19th December 2017 Saw harry in the championship karts again for another wet practice session learning the wet lines to drive on . All in all a good practice as he hates driving in the wet on slicks .
