Alpha sponsors UK go-kart champion.
Alpha is proud to celebrate the success of sponsored driver Elliot Rice, who has been crowned UK Easykart Champion following an outstanding performance throughout this year’s competition. Over the course of eight thrilling rounds, held at circuits across the country, Elliot consistently demonstrated skill, determination, and composure on the track.
The competition kicked off back in March at Ellough Park, Suffolk and has progressed throughout the spring and summer, with racers battling it out over the spring and summer months at some of the UK’s most competitive karting venues. The season reached its dramatic conclusion at Forest Edge in Hampshire on 18th and 19th September 2010, where everything came down to the final race weekend.
At the start of the final race, the fight for the top spot was a four-way tie and Elliot needed a top three position to guarantee an overall win. Determined to take the title, he stayed focused and manoeuvred round the track, finishing in 2nd place and crossing the line ahead of his closest opponents.
The weekend’s triumph was made even more special as Elliot’s karting victory coincided with his 18th birthday – making it a double celebration for the young driver and his supporters.
As the new UK Champion, Elliot automatically qualifies for a place in the World Championship being held in Italy 13th-17th October 2010.
Alpha congratulates Elliot on his fantastic achievement and wishes him every success in Italy.
