Ethans Racing Journey 2025

Steve Guest is organizing this fundraiser.

Hi my name is Ethan

I began my karting journey at the age of 10 & back in September 2022 at Midland Karting in Fradley, Lichfield. I knew from the very first session that I wanted to compete at the highest possible level.

I got to grips with the karts, the steering, the track, and the race lines whilst understanding what different effects the weather conditions created but I wanted more - I wanted to compete.

In April 2023, I entered into my 1st ever championship season based at Daytona Tamworth. It was a fiercely competitive group of drivers and by June 2024 I had been crowned Daytona Champion.

Fast forward to present day, I have just started my 2nd season at Club100 & competing in Club100 South & Club100 North, whilst also competing in the Daniel Ricciardo Series, DRS50 and working through my novice plate races as part of the Jack Dex Racing Team & the Shenington Race Championships.

WHAT DOES 2025 LOOK LIKE FOR ME & WHY DO I NEED YOUR SUPPORT?

Championships

In 2025 I am looking to compete in both Club100 Northern & Southern Cadet Lightweight Championship Seasons alongside the Daniel Ricciardo Series DRS50 Championship.

In-between these 3x championships, I am looking to compete in Club Championships with the Jack Dex Racing Team – the plan is to compete at Junior Rotax Inter Mini for my initial 5x compulsory novice plate races and then progress to Junior Rotax by the end of the season.

Driver Coaching

As part of my development, I will also benefit from Driver Coaching from James Small at JS Tuition which will run alongside my club100 & DRS championships.

I will also be coached by Jack Dex of JD Racing during my owner kart sessions.

I also spend a lot of my spare time at the Martin Gethins boxing gym working on my fitness & strength or practicing on my sim.

I am competing in the following Championships in 2025

• Club100 Full Southern Championship Arrive & Drive 10 races

• Club100 Full Northen Championship Arrive & Drive 5 races

• Daniel Ricciardo Series Championship Arrive & Drive 8 races

• JDRacing Team Junior Rotax Inter-Mini Owner Kart 5+ races

What does the money get spent on?

I am looking for your support to allow me the best opportunity to make a success of my Racing journey and to allow me to grow, compete and practice as much as possible.

Your donations/support will pay for competition entries, practice sessions, 1-2-1 sessions, equipment, tuition and give the best opportunity to compete with the best.
