Arriving at the finale third in the overall standings, his only path to becoming Champion was to drive a flawless performance, winning both the Pre-Final and the Final, while hoping the championship leader finished outside the top five in both races. In treacherous conditions of cold rain, a greasy circuit and racing under floodlights, Ethan rose to the challenge. He executed two outstanding drives, achieved the perfect score he needed, and watched the title swing his way as the points leader slipped down the order. It was a decisive, high-pressure triumph that showcased his ability to perform when it matters most.
Ethan’s success carries significant weight within Club100, one of the UK’s most respected and competitive arrive-and drive karting championships.

Throughout the season, Ethan delivered fast, confident and intelligent performances, establishing himself as a consistent front-runner in competitive fields.
The northern division continues to expand in scale and intensity, featuring a diverse mix of technical circuits that demand rapid learning and adaptability. Ethan’s championship run proved his ability to master each track, overcome changing conditions and evolve across the year, qualities essential for progression through the motorsport ranks.
