Year 10 Student Crowned World Champion!

We are absolutely thrilled to share some extraordinary news from across the Atlantic. Last term Year 10 student Ellis competed in the FKL Karting World Final in California. We are proud to announce that Ellis didn’t just compete—he won!

Outperforming a highly competitive field of 36 international drivers in his weight class, Ellis’s consistent and skilful driving secured him the title of Inaugural FKL Junior Light World Champion.

The victory is even sweeter as it has earned Ellis a prestigious opportunity to test for Formula 4. He is now one of only four drivers with the chance to win a full-time seat for the F4 racing season next year—a massive step toward a professional career in motorsport.

The photos from the event show the "F1-style" celebrations on the podium (complete with sparkling apple juice!) and the emotional moment Ellis returned to the pits as a World Champion. We are incredibly proud of his dedication and sportsmanship. Congratulations, Ellis!
