Lancasters Ethan Jeff-Hall becomes world champion
With the past weeks heralding the magnificent successes’ and world record achievements of our Olympians and Paralympians this Sunday (5th September) saw three New World Champions crowned in a very different sporting arena.
PF International at Stragglethorpe Nottingham hosted the World Junior Karting Championships with the best drivers from around the globe taking on three days of high-level racing, cumulating in a final over 22 laps of this extremely demanding 1.382km circuit.
Three GB entrants were able to secure the top podium paces from the 112 world class entrants, with Lancaster’s 15-year-old Ethan Jeff-Hall, crowned as the New World Champion. Ethan is now following in the footsteps of Formula 1’s Lando Norris who took the same title back in 2014.
Joe Turney & Matthew Higgins stood alongside Ethan, making up the British Podium places for an amazing GB 1, 2 3.
