KART racer Josh Young was recently given the opportunity to try Mat Jackson’s Airwaves Racing 2011 British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) Ford Focus at Brands Hatch.
The nine-year-old from South Darenth has been competing in the Buckmore Park junior karting championship with notable success, winning the last of the four-round winter Series last week, having achieved podium finishes in the previous races.
Still holding his winner’s trophy, Young took the opportunity to view the Airwaves Racing cars and workshops seeking long-term options.
Although tall for his age, he found he's still got some growing to do when he tried the driver’s seat for size.
