“The team and car arrived at Parkwood Off-Road Centre and unloaded the car which felt alive with her massive 7.4-litre LSX V8 purring, signalling she was ready for battle.

“Jim and James are old hands, having won countless titles between them. They carefully pre-ran the course by foot and in the race car, checking every line and planning for every eventuality.

“Then it was go-time on Day 1, a fast and furious prologue course was just what the team wanted and they lay down an incredible run with time that is eight seconds ahead of the chasing pack. What a start!

“On Day 2, the best Teams from across Europe lined up on the grid for the start of King of Britain 2026. The course had everything to test the teams with big rocks, gullies, rivers, steep climbs and technical wooded areas. It was real a drivers’ course and this team live for these moments.”

“Smooth is fast and the boys started first and finish first, keeping the other teams behind them, physically and on adjusted time.

“The afternoon session is a full two hours of chaos, but it’s a repeat of the first heat with the guys controlling the race from the front and building a one lap lead over the chasing pack.

“Day 2 is in the bag and its now down to the Team in the pits to make sure the car is ready for Day 3 and the final push!

“Day 3 arrived and there was a nervous tension in the Gigglepin camp. The weight of expectation hung in the air. But up step the ream, they are pros and Jim and James showed no signs of stress as they discussed the task ahead with their mechanical team.

“The day was going to be a tough one. A 1.5-hour session with a 45-minute break followed by a further two-hour session was a gruelling task that would test endurance, concentration and ability.

“It started well with the guys starting first and finishing first in another textbook display. Jim was driving with great care saving the tyres, while James was constantly checking live scoring so they could react fast to other teams who were now turning up the heat.

“After this first session it was a quick refuel and back to the pits for a fast check over and some food before lining up the final dance. Just two more hours separated the team from a fourth King of Britain title.”

“The final session had an added twist with all the classes racing for the final two hours on the same track. Now this is a plan the team did not like. We race in classes and it was clear that slower vehicles on track could lead to hold-ups and problems. But the plan remained the same; control the race from the front and the guys left the pits with high fives and big smiles as they made their way to the start.

“The boys power off the line knowing that a single mistake could undo the hours of hard work. But Jim was in inspired form and kept up a relentless pace, wearing down the chasing pack.

“Lap after lap, the boys found more and more retired cars on the side of track, testament to the brutality of this incredible endurance course.

“The minutes ticked by and still the guys pushed on building an incredible four-lap lead and then in the final moments of the race a front driveshaft fails!

“The near faultless car had finally succumbed to the course, but the guys had other ideas and were not about to quit. After removing the damaged driveshaft, they powered on to cross the line and to take the win at King of Britain 2026!

“It was high emotions for all the team as the weeks of hard work finally paid off. It’s great to see them back at the top and kings once again!�

“We are headed to another new track this week at Indianapolis for Round
3 of Formula Drift. I have podiumed at this track twice in my history (back in Pro-Am, I think it is also my first Pro-Am podium in my 350Z many, many years ago). So, hopefully we can make this our third podium at this track! They are planning to run a similar layout, but they added some new asphalt and track so it should be interesting! We are excited to run the new setup and get some data with the 370Z and much, much more power so many years later…”

“After nearly two months, we were finally back on track at our local circuit of Snetterton.

“After a successful Friday test, we set out Saturday morning to qualify. We qualified 9th out of 31 cars.”

“All three races were really good, battling with far newer F3 cars in our class. Over the weekend, we managed 3^rd place twice and a 2^nd-place finish.

“We will now focus on Donington Park on August bank holiday weekend.�

“It was a frustrating but ultimately positive weekend, with plenty of setbacks to overcome and valuable championship points secured.�

Heat 1

“Starting from P9, I made a strong launch and gained three places to run P6 into Turn 1. Unfortunately, the kart suffered from significant understeer for the opening five laps, making it difficult to defend. As a result, I dropped back to P14.

“As the kart’s handling gradually improved, I was able to push forward once again, recovering several positions to finish the race in P11.â€�

Heat 2

“Lining up P19 on the grid, I made another excellent start, gaining four places before Turn 1. On lap two, karts #7 and #24 came together entering the Bus Stop, allowing me to move up to P13.

“After closing the gap to P12, I picked up the slipstream down the start/finish straight before diving to the inside into Turn 1 to complete the pass. A retirement further ahead promoted me another position.

“Later in the race, I got a strong run on P11 down the straight and pulled off an outside pass around Turn 1 to move into the top ten. Shortly afterwards, the race leader’s chain came off, promoting me to P9 with two laps remaining.

“Unfortunately, I continued to struggle getting a good exit onto the start/finish straight. Losing momentum allowed another kart to pass me at the end of the straight, meaning I crossed the line in P10.�

Heat 3

“The opening lap was eventful. Heading into the Bus Stop, I was sideswiped by another driver. Fortunately, the kart that hit me spun off, and I was able to cut back underneath to avoid being collected and stay on the circuit. Although I didn’t lose any positions, I did lose valuable time.

“I managed to recover quickly, catching back up to second place and applying pressure for several laps. Despite multiple attempts, I couldn’t find a way through, and in trying to make the move I lost momentum, dropping back to P5.

“On lap eight, disaster struck when I was punted into the gravel at Turn 1. Keeping the throttle pinned, I managed to drive out of the gravel trap and rejoin the race, but I had fallen to P12 after losing around seven seconds.

“From there, I put my head down, caught P11, made the pass, and continued charging through the field to finish P9 on the road. After the race, a penalty for a kart ahead promoted me to P8.�

Final

“Starting the final from P9, I spent much of the race holding position. Once again, I struggled to carry enough speed onto the start/finish straight, making it difficult to attack the karts ahead.

“With one lap remaining, a retirement in front promoted me to P8, which is where I ultimately finished.�

Weekend Summary

“Overall, it was a frustrating weekend. Saturday was disrupted by carburettor and fuel issues, while on Sunday we continued to struggle with our drive onto the start/finish straight, costing valuable time throughout the races.

“Despite the challenges, we fought back consistently in every race, salvaged solid championship points, and leave the weekend sitting 5th in the championship standings.

“Now the focus turns to the next round at Shenington, where we’ll be looking to bounce back stronger…â¶Ä�
