Ginetta MSA British Junior Kart Championship

Rounds 7 & 8: Larkhall, 2-3 July

Roy Johnson secured a pair of victories at Larkhall and has moved into second place in the title race as a result.

In the first final George Russell was chased down by Ben Barnicoat, who executed a perfect pass to take the lead. However, Russell tried to re-pass Barnicoat at the last corner, taking them both wide in the process and allowing Johnson through to win.

Barnicoat, Johnson and Callan O’Keeffe battled for top honours in the second Final until Barnicoat found himself in the barriers again, this time after battling with O’Keeffe; as in the first contest, Johnson slipped through to seal victory.
