๐ฅ ELITE SUPERPOLE REVIEW โ 1ST SEPTEMBER 2026 ๐ฅ
September kicked off with a seriously competitive Elite Superpole, with 30 drivers taking to the circuit and the entire field separated by just 1.541 seconds! ๐โก
At the very top, Emerson Wilson reminded everyone just how quick he is. The U17 driver produced a superb 32.254 to take P1 overall and the U17 category win.
But Conor Kingdon was right there. After his incredible run of form through August, Conor opened September with a 32.352, only 0.098s away from Emerson and good enough for P2 overall and fastest 17โ39 driver. ๐ฅ
James Peers completed the overall podium with a 32.413, just 0.159s off P1, while Ady Stead delivered another brilliant performance with a 32.471. That put Ady P4 overall and fastest in the fiercely competitive 40โ59 category.
The pace barely dropped from there. Oscar Hurley, Louis Canlett, Joseph Gani, Jon Evans, James Broad and Ben Dalzell all broke into the 32.6s, with the top 16 separated by only 0.622 seconds! ๐ณ
Our other category honours went to:
๐ U17 โ Emerson Wilson โ 32.254
๐ 17โ39 โ Conor Kingdon โ 32.352
๐ 40โ59 โ Ady Stead โ 32.471
๐ Over 60 โ Ian Wray โ 32.801
๐ Female โ Abi Worrell โ 33.268
A special mention also goes to Reece Goldsbury, who matched Callum Whittโs 32.876 exactly โ right down to the thousandth!
Whatโs also really exciting is seeing even more new names climbing up our leaderboards, adding even more depth of talent to what are already incredibly competitive categorised rankings. The standard just keeps getting stronger, and at this rate weโre predicting an even more competitive 2027 Drivers Championship than the one weโve seen this year. ๐๐ฅ
Thirty Elite drivers, incredibly tight margins and some seriously rapid lap times. If this is how September is starting, we could be in for one hell of a month.
Whoโs coming after that 32.254 next week? ๐
01/09/2026
๐ AUGUST COMPLETE โ AND THE 40โ59 CHAMPIONSHIP IS GETTING SERIOUSLY TIGHT! ๐๐ฅ
August is done, with 361 drivers setting a lap in our 40โ59 category โ and the battle at the top came down to thousandths of a second!
Jon Evans takes maximum points after topping August with a brilliant 32.297s.
But Craig Blades actually recorded a 32.2996s, which rounds up to the 32.300s shown on the leaderboard.
That means less than THREE THOUSANDTHS OF A SECOND separated them after an entire month! ๐คฏ
And Ady Stead was right there too on 32.311s.
๐ฅ Jon Evans โ 32.297s
๐ฅ Craig Blades โ 32.2996s
๐ฅ Ady Stead โ 32.311s
Just 0.014s covered the entire Top 3! ๐ฅ
Those results leave the Championship beautifully poised:
๐ Jon Evans โ 148 pts
๐ฅ Craig Blades โ 140 pts
๐ฅ Simon Carruthers โ 140 pts
๐ฅ Ady Stead โ 136 pts
5๏ธโฃ Wayne Richardson โ 124 pts
Craig and Simon are effectively joint P2 on 140 points, just 8 points behind Jon.
And then thereโs Ady Stead, who just keeps chipping away. ๐
After scoring nothing in January, Ady rattled off an incredible FIVE consecutive monthly victories from February through June, before adding another 18 points in both July and August.
Heโs now technically P3 in the title fight on 136 points, only 4 points behind Craig and Simon and 12 behind Jon.
Meanwhile Jonโs consistency has been exceptional, scoring at least 16 points every month.
๐ฅ SEPTEMBER IS NOW LIVE!

๐ NO SIGN-UP
๐ท NO ENTRY FEE
Finish each month amongst the Top 20 fastest drivers in your category and you score 20 points for P1 down to 1 for P20.
With Jon, Craig, Simon and Ady separated by only 12 points, one big month could completely reshuffle the order.
Four months remaining. This championship is FAR from decided. ๐๐
๐ September starts from zero. Game on!
01/09/2026
๐ AUGUST COMPLETE โ AND THE 17โ39 CATEGORY IS GETTING SERIOUSLY COMPETITIVE! ๐ฅ๐
August is done, with 1,052 drivers setting a lap in our 17โ39 category โ and one driver in particular has made quite an entrance.
Conor Kingdon has seemingly come from nowhere and started dominating. ๐
Conor only began scoring championship points in July and immediately took P1 and 20 points.
August? He did it AGAIN.
His stunning 32.120s topped the August leaderboard, giving him:
๐ฅ JULY โ P1 โ 20 POINTS
๐ฅ AUGUST โ P1 โ 20 POINTS
Thatโs 40 points from a possible 40 since he started scoring!
Meanwhile championship leader Louis Canlett was only 0.131s behind, setting a superb 32.251s to take 19 points and move onto 118 overall.
And look how tight the championship is:
๐ Louis Canlett โ 118
๐ฅ Luke Smith โ 112
๐ฅ Hannah Barrs โ 111
4๏ธโฃ Jason Hiew โ 105
5๏ธโฃ Oscar Hurley โ 104
Just 14 points cover the Top 5! ๐คฏ
But weโre also getting a glimpse of what could be an absolutely cracking 2027 championship.
With Conor Kingdon and Luke Smith now joining established front-runners such as Louis Canlett, Jason Hiew and Oscar Hurley, next yearโs 17โ39 title battle could be even more competitive than it already is.
These guys are getting seriously quick โ and when everyone starts 2027 from ZERO, every single month is going to matter. ๐

๐ AUGUST COMPLETE โ THE UNDER 17 CHAMPIONSHIP BATTLE CONTINUES! ๐๐ฅ
August is done and another valuable set of points has been added to the 2026 Under 17 Driversโ Championship โ after an incredible 1,380 drivers set a lap in the category during the month!
Once again, Emerson Wilson came out on top. ๐จ
His outstanding 31.935s secured P1 and the maximum 20 championship points, taking Emerson to an incredible 158 points from a possible 160 after eight months!
His scores so far:
19 โข 20 โข 19 โข 20 โข 20 โข 20 โข 20 โข 20
Thatโs six consecutive monthly victories. ๐ฅ
But the championship certainly isnโt over.
James Peers added another 18 points with a 32.378s, taking his total to 145 โ just 13 points behind Emerson.
And the battle immediately behind couldnโt be closerโฆ
Alfie High sits P3 on 144 points โ just ONE POINT behind James! ๐
๐ Emerson Wilson โ 158
๐ฅ James Peers โ 145
๐ฅ Alfie High โ 144
One of Augustโs standout performances came from Harvey Read, who produced a brilliant 32.360s to finish P2 for the month and collect 19 points.
And just look at the margin between Harvey and James:
Harvey 32.360s
James 32.378s
Just 0.018 SECONDS! ๐คฏ
Nathan McKinley also had a great August, taking P4 and 17 points, while Arlo Canning, Elijah Casey, Alfie Chapman and others added valuable points to their championship totals.

๐ IS KARTING ACTUALLY EXPENSIVE?
Itโs easy to look at ยฃ30 and think โThatโs a lot for kartingโฆโ
But stop for a second and think about what ยฃ30 buys nowadays.
โ Around 7 coffees
๐บ 5โ6 pints
๐ A takeaway for two
๐ฌ Cinema for two once you add the extras
๐ช Around an hour of axe throwing
๐ An escape room
๐ณ A few games of bowling
Now compare that with what ยฃ30 gets you at Gridline Racing.
๐๏ธ 2 ร 12-minute sessions โ 24 minutes of actual track time.
And weโre not talking about dodgems or arcade machines.
Youโre getting behind the wheel of arguably one of the most advanced electric rental karts available anywhere in the world today โ the SODI RSX.
Youโll be driving flat-out around approximately 450 metres of indoor, multi-level circuit, braking, overtaking, learning racing lines and chasing every tenth of a second.
Meanwhile, the circuit is constantly monitored by trained marshals, ready to respond instantly to circumstances on track, backed by sophisticated electronic control and safety systems.
Think about what actually has to exist for you to enjoy those 24 minutes:
A fleet of high-performance electric karts.
A 450m multi-level circuit.
Charging infrastructure.
Timing systems.
Safety technology.
Trained staff and marshals.
Maintenance.
Helmets and equipment.
And an entire indoor motorsport venue.
All for ยฃ30pp.
And it gets even betterโฆ
๐ฅ 4 ร 12-minute sessions from just ยฃ45pp.
Thatโs 48 MINUTES OF TRACK TIME for ยฃ45.
You can race your mates, chase a personal best, climb our monthly leaderboards and potentially score points towards the Gridline Drivers Championship.
Karting is often perceived as an expensive activity.
But when you consider the machinery, technology, facilities, staffing, safety systems and sheer amount of entertainment youโre getting for your moneyโฆ
Gridline Racing is ridiculously good value.
So next time youโre about to spend ยฃ30โยฃ45 on something youโll barely remember next weekโฆ

๐ AUGUST COMPLETE โ HANNAH BARRS EXTENDS HER CHAMPIONSHIP LEAD! ๐๐
August is officially in the books for our Female Driversโ Championship, with another 20 drivers banking valuable points towards their 2026 totals.
And once again, Hannah Barrs takes maximum points! ๐ฅ
Hannah topped Augustโs Female leaderboard with a superb 32.764s, collecting another 20 championship points and moving onto an incredible 159 points from a possible 160 across the first eight months!
Her monthly scores:
20 โข 20 โข 19 โข 20 โข 20 โข 20 โข 20 โข 20
That is some serious consistency. ๐
But August was VERY close at the top! ๐
Abi Worrell came within just 0.117 seconds of taking P1 from Hannah, setting a brilliant 32.881s lap.
Just over one tenth of a second separated the two fastest Female drivers after an entire month of competition! ๐คฏ
Abiโs P2 earned her 19 championship points, moving her onto 107 points and into P3 overall, just three points ahead of Nicola Lent on 104.
Meanwhile, Suzi Ridley remains Hannahโs closest championship challenger. Another 16 points in August takes Suzi onto 141 points and keeps her firmly P2 in the title race.
Alyss-Anya Hill was also right on the pace in August, taking P3 with a 33.040s and another 18 championship points, moving her season total to 85.
Further down the August Top 20, Laura Redhead collected 17 points, Holly Dalzell 15 and Chloe Quirke 14 โ all adding valuable points to their championship totals. ๐ช
And remember, thereโs no special championship event to enter.

๐ AUGUST IS DONE โ AND THE 2026 DRIVERSโ CHAMPIONSHIP IS HEATING UP! ๐
Another month is in the books at Gridline Racing, which means another set of championship points have been scored โ and for some drivers, August has given their 2026 title hopes a serious boost! ๐ฅ
Every single lap matters.
Thereโs no special championship event to enter, no sign-up and no entry fee. Every lap time you set during any visit to Gridline automatically counts towards the monthly leaderboard for the category you fall into.
Finish the month inside the Top 20 fastest drivers in your category and you score championship points:
๐ฅ P1 = 20 points
๐ฅ P2 = 19 points
๐ฅ P3 = 18 points
โฆall the way down to P20 = 1 point.
And August certainly produced some important results. ๐
In the Cadet category, Jensen Murdoch ended August fastest with a 35.910s, collecting the maximum 20 points and strengthening his championship lead to 156 points.
But Seth Perry isnโt letting him disappear โ another 18 points takes Seth to 148, leaving just 8 points between the top two as we head into September! โ๏ธ
Lenny Murdoch remains firmly in the hunt in P3 on 130, while Zachary McAuliffe sits P4 on 123. A brilliant August from Asher Lent, who finished P2 for the month, earned him 19 points and moves him onto 102 overall.
And thatโs exactly what makes this championship interestingโฆ
You donโt have to win every month. Consistency counts. Keep putting yourself inside that Top 20, keep banking points and you could find yourself right in the championship fight by the end of the year.

๐ AUGUST COMPLETE โ IAN WRAY MAKES IT A PERFECT 160! ๐๐ฅ
August is complete in our Over 60 Driversโ Championship, with 54 drivers setting a lap during the month โ and at the top, Ian Wrayโs incredible run continues.
Ian Wray topped August with a superb 32.480s, collecting another maximum 20 championship points.

But Dave Moulds continues to keep the pressure on. His 32.714s secured P2 and another 19 points, taking Dave to an impressive 150 points โ just 10 behind Ian.
And behind those two, we have an absolutely cracking battle developing for third. ๐
Colin Dawson and Paul Green are now LEVEL on 135 points!
August gave Colin a tiny advantage in that fight, finishing P3 with a 33.338s and collecting 18 points, while Paul was just 0.048s behind with a 33.386s, earning 17.
