I’m very excited to say that this is my first race in a GX200 Honda powered kart. GX-UK are designed to be people’s first steps into the world of owner karting, with a low cost entry fee. This was also the first time I have ever had the opportunity to set up the kart on my own. This was easier said than done. During testing on the Saturday, and I struggling with the back end and fell into the trap of changing too many things at once. Eventually, I found I was running the tyre pressures far too low for the weather conditions—when the weather is cold, tyre pressures need to be higher.
