Hello, I am Neil Hampson a 14 year old racing driver from Solihull.
Ever since I was young driving around my dad’s depot and watching drivers like Bobby Thompson in Fiesta juniors and Volkswagen cup as well as watching Bobby and Josh Cook in the BTCC, I have had a huge passion for racing.
I started karting at a race school when I was 8 years old at Daytona Tamworth. After this I did bits of karting never quite committing to a championship until 2022 when I did the BIKC reaching the Local finals.
I also did the BIKC in 2023 where I also reached the local finals but missed out on regionals by 2 places despite having a kart failure in qualifying and being the only driver to make an overtake.
At the start of 2024 I did a season in N35-ST 55mph go karts at Daytona Tamworth and managed to come out on top despite being the only driver in the top 5 without his own race suit.
After this I was allowed to drive the 75mph DMAX go karts after a test session being the youngest driver to race them.
In my first season in DMAX I managed to place 4th despite being the youngest by a margin and going up against a national karting champion and owner kart drivers managing to get a couple podiums in the last 3 rounds.
Next season I hope to push for the championship, I am also looking forward to trying to progress into the fiesta junior championship for the 2025 season off of the back of my successful fiesta junior test day with 20ten racing and my 2nd fiesta scholarship attempt.
