- Hop aboard with me in my second ever senior Rotax race at the British Kart Championships Round Larkhall. Having seen recent arrays of success from this track, I thought it would be a good idea to compete at the Rotax BKC event for fun.
It was a very enjoyable experience and a race weekend our pace was undoubtably very, very strong. Ending up challenging for a podium come Sunday's final, and falling just short in P4. Still a good result with very few laps done in Rotax and no testing done before this event.
Enjoy some raw, mainly unedited footage of one of the early practice sessions of Friday, as I slice through the pack whilst also taking fastest lap.

I do miss karting, its been 25 years 😮 larkhall was my favourite circuit. Won many races at larkhall including three Scottish open’s, two at larkhall and one at Crail and my brother won 5 Scottish champs in total. I had a runner up Scottish champ at golspie circuit. Good memories.
Then karting is calling you. There's a Rental championship starting in 4 days. 2 months to qualify. So you can get competitive again 💪 search BIKC Teamsport
For eight minutes and twenty one seconds man said 🏎💨💨💨
I don’t understand, can you translate?
You're so aggressive towards the apex!
I try to be smooth 🥲
Never seen someone be so fast but yet so attractive 💨
Oh you 😚
Charles Leclerc ?
I’ve seen you do ukc thru super gt, but I was just wondering if you race internationals as well
Yes! I do also race in the Iame European Series. I’ve uploaded some videos of foreign tracks when I race in that series
love the roar of a rotax
Hi Thomas, you are a very good racer, I enjoy watching your videos. Do you like racing the Rotax Senior engine in comparison to an X30?
Thanks man! I feel that both provide an enjoyable experience, but I prefer the X30 on the basis of its amazing throttle response 👍🏼
how did you manage to get the engine to peak operating temp so early in that weather?
Not sure! The mychron just told me it was getting too hot!
Scotland ?? That must have been a right faff to get to considering you don’t have your drivers license
Got to thank my girlfriend for the taxi service x

Have they changed the layout of Larkhall in the last 10 years? For some reason it looks different to me.
Yes, it got completely overhauled after 2018
@@ThomasFleming1 Then my memory isn't so bad. Thought something was off.
Where are you in the championship after that?
I’ve only done 1 out of the 2 rounds as I missed the first, but on dropped scores I’m around 4th
@@ThomasFleming1 thats still good, how many rounds are counted?
@@PlasticBoi so for each round, you get 3 scores. Across a 7 round season, your worst 3 scores are not counted towards your final score
@@ThomasFleming1 ohhh right i assumed it would be entire dropped rounds
I understand the motor is a rotax, what size? Is that also the same as a TAG kart?
Rotax motor is a water cooled 125 CC motor with a TAG system, similar to an X30 which I assume you call a TAG kart
Ok , got ya. Just getting into this sport , so I'm still learning. Also , you were a beast out there , one position after another. Good job
Ever tried Superkarts? check out these guys 140 mph Kart race ua-cam.com/video/VaE2De73mds/v-deo.html
Those guys are crazy! I've seen them in real life before, definitely not for me. I choose life!
Are all the karts running the same specs?
Yes they’re all running the same engine, tyres and weight. It’s a spec series
