ACI Italian Championship 2026 Rd 4: Value in Val Vibrata
July 2026
Race Result
A race that threw everything at us - from +40C heat to torrentiual rain for the Final - this was a rollercoaster of strategy, perseverance and strength. We qualified P5 in Group. Heat 1 - P3, Heat 2 - P4, Heat 3 - P6. Started Prefinal in P3 and finished P1 ! Started Final in P3 in heavy rain. This was Josh’s first race in the big kart in the rain and driving different lines on a rain chassis and on different setup - we got tot the front for a brief moment but the arduous conditions saw a small mistake and we finished in P3, a result we were happy with considering the concitions.

ROK Cup Austria Rd 5: Sweep at Speedworld
August 2026
Media Coverage
A great way to close out the 2026 season in Austria. We were consistently at the top of the leaderboard all weekend, starting with Pole Position, followed by a win in the Pre-Final and a lights-to-flag victory in the Final to complete the sweep.
That result secured P2 in the Championship, despite competing in only 3 of the 5 rounds. Even better, we won every race we entered. A strong finish to an incredible season.
