Taking on the world as a privateer

In 2024 I entered the FIA Karting World Championship in the OK class at PF International — one of the biggest events in the sport, against factory teams and future F1 drivers. I did it as a genuine privateer: my own Kart Republic chassis, a rented TM engine from Machac Motors, my dad as mechanic and our own van.

It meant getting an FIA international licence, taking more than 10 kg off to get near the 150 kg OK weight limit, and finding grip levels I hadn’t felt since racing at Lonato in 2016.

The point was simple: to show that you don’t have to be anything special to race at the top level. The campaign was documented on YouTube and followed on KartPulse, VroomKart and KartSportNews.

The build

The Twin-OK

Two TM OK engines on one chassis, direct drive, 80–85 horsepower and roughly 15 kg more than a normal OK kart. It’s short geared, a handful to start and an absolute weapon once it’s going.

The Twin-OK was featured by Karting1 and became a talking point on KartPulse — and my first-drive video is the most watched thing on the channel with over 11,000 views. I’ve since raced it in the Senior Open class at Woodthorpe.

Experience

Ten classes and counting

Direct drive, gearbox, historic and superkart. Every class has taught me something I take into the next one.

  • OK
  • KZ
  • Senior X30
  • TKM Extreme
  • Open
  • 100cc Pre-95
  • 100cc Pre-2000
  • Formula C
  • 125 Superkart
  • Division 1 Superkart

I also race in the Retro Kart Championship and historic events — including demo laps for the British Historic Kart Club at the BRDC Classic at Silverstone.

Resto & rare projects

Not everything I work on is new. Alongside racing, I bring older and rarer karts back to life, stripping them down, sorting them out and getting them looking and running the way they should. Projects so far include a 1999 Mach 1 with a Rotax engine and a 1997 NKT Tornado with an Atomik RSV98.

It’s the same mix as the Twin-OK: engineering, patience and a lot of evenings with the spanners out.
