Leo Robinson Racing

Leo Robinson 37

3rd Round UK Motorsports Association Championship

The kart racing season is now well underway, albeit with a with a number of social distancing restrictions in place in the paddock.

Leo benefited from a change in the rules this year, which allows younger drivers to move up to more powerful senior size karts from the age of 11. Leo was immediately successful in the pre-season races, winning on debut in a senior kart on the weekend of his 11th birthday. The start to the main British and European Championship seasons was, however, delayed until the summer holidays. Since then, he has raced every weekend. Now at the half way point, Leo is 2nd in the British Championship with one race win and podium finishes in all other races.

The weekend of the 19th/20th of September Leo will be racing in Italy in the second round of the European Championship.

The race pictured was Kimbolton, 3rd round for the UK Motorsports Association Championship.
