I'm looking for some general advice for my partner. He currently works at an indoor circuit and holds the lap record there. He is very quick and this has been confirmed at various kart races. He has just taken part in the Teesside 24hr ans they finished 4th. They held 1st place for 12 hours and through a couple of errors (they're all amateurs) they lost a lot of time/places. First being the service team got the kart stuck on the ramp loosing them 2 laps bringing them into 2nd they also had 2 chains snap and a pull start snap during the night. They also recieved a ten lap penalty due to one of the drivers being 2kg underweight! As you can see these are silly mistakes due to them all being amateurs and having no manager/race experience. He is consitent in his lap timings and won the title of fastest lap, which again he has done consistently in the SG Petch Abarth Championship where again he has always finished at the top of the pack and has lost out due to silly errors, last race he qualified pole and pulled away at the start giving himself a good gap and then on his 2nd lap one of the tyres came off. Whilst it was being repaired he dropped into last however he pulled himself back into 6th in a 1 hour race!!! He qualified for Red Bull Kart Fight last year and made it into the final I think he came 7th however he was 2nd at regionals, would have been first however he didn't want to put his or a friends 1st position at risk so sat back and guarded these spots, at this point he had no race experience apart from an indoor circuit and had never driven twin engine karts before oh and it was raining he set the fastest lap again on one stint. I guess my point is how do we get him noticed what races do we need to be entering. He's currently racing the SG Petch Abarth, EKL (however the lad who was supposed to be guiding him through the EKL has just dumped all the team responsibility on my partner who hasn't got a clue what he's doing persay all because the lad didn't win and went in a strop). Really all i want to know is how do we get him noticed, which races should he be in etc. He's currently no1 at his track for lap record etc and has set the fastest lap ready for the red bull qaulifiers. He really is a pleasure to watch and a lot of people have started to ask who he is, how long he's been karting etc as he really is fast and very consistent. He gets to grips with a track so quickly and just has the ability and knack to know what his kart is doing beneath him. Any advice would be greatly appreciatted.
