The 12-year-old kart racing star has acquired an MG ZR race car that he鈥檒l use in the MG National Speed Championship
Racing in EBC-equipped karting machinery since the age of 10, Chase Sharpe has undoubtedly built up a name for himself in the motorsport world, clinching the UK Kart Series Honda Cadet Extreme Championship in 2022.
Following a season in the UK Kart Series this year, Sharpe has recently announced that he鈥檚 about to upgrade to the world of car racing with the purchase of his MG ZR race car.
Complete with EBC鈥檚 Yellowstuff pads and high-performance discs, Chase will use the race-prepped vehicle to compete in the MG National Speed Championship in the coming months and years.
You can read more about the announcement in his team鈥檚 own words below.
鈥淐oming off the back of winning the UK Kart Series Honda Cadet Extreme Championship in 2022, Chase Sharpe has took his first move into circuit racing, by taking delivery of his EBC-clad MG ZR, built to sprint/hillclimb specs.
鈥淐hase will be testing in the car until his 14th birthday, then competing in the MG National Speed Championship. His Father, Hen, will also be taking the car out for some races next season.”
鈥淗en said: 鈥淚t鈥檚 always been in our plan to get Chase out racing a car as soon as he wanted to. It made sense to go down the sprint/hillclimb route, especially with an MG, as for the past 20 years our family have all competed in classic and modern MGs. Chase will gain great experience in his ZR and this should hopefully set him up nicely for when he makes the move to full circuit racing with an MG ZR when he is 16. Motorsport UK are actively getting more young drivers into sprints and hillclimbs, and we feel we are joining at a great time.鈥濃��
