Edgar's Hyundai MSA British Kart Championship

 Round 5: Glan y Gors, 29 July

Ben Barnicoat had the legs on the rest of pack at Glan y Gors despite crashing out of timed qualifying and suffering another off-track excursion in one of the heats.

Barnicoat won his other heat and soon relieved polesitter Jack Barlow of the lead of the first final before storming off to win. Meanwhile CIK-FIA U 18 World Champion Matthew Graham beat Mark Litchfield into third.

Barnicoat was untouchable in the second final with an 11-second win over Alex Hamilton, Litchfield and Barlow. The result leaves Barnicoat with a healthy championship lead.
