Junior TKM contender Olivia Jakins has been named as the Wera Tools Driver of the Day from last weekend’s British Kart Championships encounter at Shenington [22-24 April].
Jakins 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 2022 or 2023.
Her nomination came despite missing out on the win, but from 12th in Timed Qualifying, stormed through in the heats to finish 4th and 2nd and then led most of the laps in the final itself before finishing second.
