Glenn Guest in the #23 Division 1 Superkart

Division 1 Superkarts · 2027

Getting
back to D1

In 2027 I want to get back into a Division 1 Superkart: the class where I won at Darley Moor and Donington Park. No packages, no tiers, no rate card. Just me, my dad on the spanners, my mum keeping everyone fed, and the people who help us back onto the grid. I’d love you to be one of them.

Why Division 1

Unfinished business

I’ve raced just about everything with four wheels and no roof, but nothing compares to a Division 1 Superkart. It has a gearbox, wings and bodywork, and it races on full-size car circuits. It’s the closest a kart racer gets to a single-seater.

I took my first D1 win at Darley Moor in 2022 and won the Superkart Cup at Donington Park the following year. Then the 2024 World Championship took me back to OK karts, and the superkart has been waiting ever since.

2027 is about getting back to it properly, with a full season and the same family team. Every bit of support goes straight onto the track.

What it’s like

A relationship, not a transaction

You’ll know me

Not an account manager, not an agency — me. You’ll have my number, and I’ll pick up. If something’s on your mind, we talk about it.

You’ll hear how it went

Win, spin or engine failure, you’ll hear it from me after every weekend. The good days and the bad ones are part of the story.

You’re welcome in the paddock

Come to a round. Meet Dad, who’s been on the spanners since I was eight. Have a brew, watch from the grandstand, see the superkart up close.

You’ll be part of the comeback

I’ll film the whole return to Division 1, from the first shakedown to the last race. The people who make it happen are in it as part of the team.

Off the track

More than a driver

My day job is engineering. I’m a software engineer, architect and technical leader, and I’ve spent more than a decade building, fixing and scaling platforms. When you back #23, you get someone who understands your business as well as the racing.

Someone who speaks business

I’ve led teams, owned multi-million pound budgets and been through M&A from both sides. I know a sponsorship has to make sense for you, not just for me.

Expertise you can use

I give independent technical advice on AI, architecture, cloud, integrations and security. If your business could use an experienced view, that can be part of how we work together.

An engineer in the paddock

I built a karting setup platform that’s on both app stores, plus race simulators for clients. On a race weekend I go by the data, and you get honest reporting on how it’s going.

Getting involved

Every bit helps

There’s no minimum and no menu. Tell me what you can do and what would mean something to you, and we’ll work out the rest together.

Local businesses

A Leicester firm with its name on a superkart racing at circuits like Donington Park, and a story your customers and staff can follow.

Parts, tyres & fuel

A Division 1 kart gets through all of them. Product support goes straight onto the track and gets us more laps.

Travel & logistics

Superkarts race at full-size car circuits up and down the country. Getting the van, the kart and the family there is a big part of the budget.

Financial backing

Big or small, it all goes on racing. There’s no factory team or management fee in the middle.

And yes, people will see you

Following along

Your name goes on the bodywork, the suit and the site, and into every onboard. Superkarts race in front of crowds at real car circuits, and online there’s a karting audience that watches whole laps.
