So proud of our fella. First ever race in a Micro Max and he managed to collect 5th place. At times Thomas was 2nd fastest on the circuit which is a great result.
We are extremely proud of Thomas for his first time racing in the Micro Max class. The difference being that, essentially, he is managing a much softer tyre and a completely different power delivery.
Thomas battled with Ami Peacock, going side-by-side on lap 2, and again on lap 3 until eventually he slipped it up the inside on lap 6 to take 5th position, which he held on to till the chequered flag.
Having to wipe tears away before fastening a helmet is not the way to ever start a race! Yesterday was breaking point. Enough is enough. The. bullying stops here.
ITV News how cool is that!! Huge thanks to ITV Tyne Tees and Teesside Karting for making this happen. Thomas loved it, it's also nice to have Catherine Potter Racing on the big screen too.
