PFI did not disappoint this weekend!

Oliver really stepped up his game following BKC and Kartmasters and showed some serious pace all weekend.

Qualifying β€” P2

Heat 1 β€” P2 ➑️ P2
Led for most of the race and looked strong out front.

Heat 2 β€” P2 ⬆️ P1 πŸ₯‡
Fastest lap too! ⏱️

Then the rain arrived, but the track dried again in time for the final.

Final β€” P1 ➑️ P3 πŸ†
Starting from pole, things didn’t quite go to plan and Oliver crossed the start line down in P4. That left him with work to do, but he fought back to finish P3 overall and take another podium!

A brilliant weekend with front-running pace throughout. Qualifying P2, a race win, fastest lap, plenty of laps led and a podium to finish it off.

Definitely another step forward for Oliver who takes the lead in the championship.

Couldn’t have done it without or power from thank you πŸ™Œ

Got to love a strategy! 🀣

18months ago Oliver moved into IAME testing a waterswift restricted with

Moved up into the race team and since then has put in a lot of work on and off track.

18months from first ever 2 stroke drive into the has been an incredible achievement.

Take a look at Oliver’s first practice session from his first taste at British level racing.

Strength has been a big thing since moving from cadet to inter at only 9. Most leave it a bit longer but Oliver wanted to move up into the quicker class sooner. Big thanks to .fitness for all the improvements this year. It’s really helped.

Thanks to everyone following and supporting the journey πŸ™Œ

British Championship Debut

18months after his first session in a Honda cadet owner kart and 15months since moving to IAME we took on the best in the country.

Friday started well, P11 overall.

Saturday didn’t go aswell but learnt a lot and took the positives away. End of the day we found a twist in the chassis and made some changes for Sunday.

Sunday was much better - Oliver was competitive. Contact in the first heat on the last lap ruined the heat, second heat was much better, P17 ⬆️ P11 and the final moving up to P13 after being last on lap 1 due to contact.

Racecraft and understanding of track positioning improved loads this weekend.

Oliver showed he can race with the best in the country and hold his own.

Thank to and for everything this weekend. Amazing power and setup which made us competitive.

Was great to meet and thank you for your time with Oliver. Hope to see you around the paddock sometime soon.

Thanks to .inglis.media for the photos and reel this weekend. πŸ‘Œ

Kartmasters 2026 🏁

What an event. Our first one and loved it.

Practice day was spent chasing setup issues rather than making the progress we’d hoped for.

Friday & Saturday
Qualifying went badly both days, leaving Oliver starting right at the back. The race pace was far stronger than the results suggested though, and every heat showed big improvements in racecraft, confidence and overtaking.

Sunday
Superheat: P20 ⬆️ P17 despite spinning to avoid a multi kart incident ahead.

Grand Prix: P20 ⬆️ P12 on the road (classified P14 after penalties).

An incredible drive when it mattered most. With no pressure, Oliver delivered far beyond our expectations after all the setbacks earlier in the weekend. He had the pace to race wheel to wheel with British and European Championship drivers and never looked out of place.

The step up in competition has made a huge difference. Every session brought improvement and this has undoubtedly been Oliver’s biggest leap forward as a driver.

Next stop… our British Kart Championship debut. πŸ’ͺ🏁

Thanks to for everything over the whole event.
