JOSH WEBSTER - Novice to Euro Challenge Champion in just 3 years

On the face of it, Josh Webster’s success in winning a European title in the Rotax Euro Challenge is just another typical example of the purple patch currently being enjoyed by Brits at all levels in European karting. But scratch below the surface and you’ll fi nd that this is a success with a difference. Just as in most sports, if you want to get to the top in karting, you have to start early. We read of people like Tiger Woods in golf and the Williams sisters in tennis having started at 3 to 4 years-old. There are many similar stories in kart racing with 2008 F1 World Champion Lewis Hamilton’s story particularly well documented.
