Rounds 11/12: Larkhall, 12/13 September

With a round to spare, Red Bull-backed Alexander Albon provisionally clinched the MSA Junior British Kart title at Larkhall in Scotland with two more dominant wins, unbeaten all weekend.  After a brief exchange with Xavier Warburton, Callum Bowyer established himself in second in the first final, whilst Macaulay Walsh roared up to third from eleventh on the grid. 

Albon’s championship rivals Jake Dennis and Jordan King endured a torrid weekend.  Dennis, who has just been crowned vice-champion in the CIK/FIA Junior World Cup, had an early setback with a heat exclusion then became entangled in a start lap accident in the first final.  He battled to thirteenth in the second final, his points haul well short of what was needed. 

King suffered an engine problem and his stout defence of fifth, before he dropped to ninth, earned him a three place penalty.  He made seventh in the second final, this time Roy Johnson hit form to leapfrog Bowyer and Walsh for second.
