Jesse Phillips named Kimbolton Wera Tools Driver of the Day

IAME Cadet contender Jesse Phillips has been named as the Wera Tools Driver of the Day for the Kimbolton meeting of the Wera Tools British Kart Championships (12-13 June).

 

Phillips was nominated by the panel of judges along with a shortlist of five other drivers thanks to their on-track performance, sporting act or overcoming adversity. Each driver was in line to scoop a special Wera Tools Trophy and a comprehensive Wera Tools kart toolkit worth £2,500, whilst Motorsport UK will supplement the prize with a free test day at a BKC venue of their choice in 2021 or 2022.

The nine-year old racer received his nomination after a career-best result at the Cambridgeshire circuit, coupled with a very mature drive which involved plenty of clean overtaking maneuvers.

Phillips would also recover from a confidence-zapping opening round which saw an on-track incident and Finals spin to finish down the order in 24th. His performance at Kimbolton netted him a nomination with the public vote scooping him the award.

“I’m really happy to get the award” he said.

“I`ve worked really hard over the last two weeks and being voted made it all worth it. But to win is a great confidence boost and thank you to everyone who voted for me”.

The award continues at the next meeting of 2021 which heads to Mansell Raceway on 26-27 June.
