British Karting Championships (BKC) partner Wera Tools and Radical Motorsport have partnered to provide a unique opportunity for one budding driver to win a place in the 2025 Radical Championship season. 

The Radical Racing Rebels Academy will see one lucky entrant receive a Motorsport UK Racing Starter Pack and a heavily supported season, with the driver only needing to cover insurance and entry costs for the 2025 Radical Championship. 

The competition is open to drivers aged from 16 to a maximum of 20 years old by 31 March 2025.  

Drivers will need to attend an assessment day at Donington Park, during which their competency behind the wheel will be reviewed, prior to attending a series of interview-style assessments in front of a panel of industry experts. No additional racewear will be required for the assessment day, during which a maximum of six talented drivers will be invited to attend. The winner will be announced following a two-day assessment programme at Radical’s Donington Park HQ in October. 

Dan Parker, Head of Karting, Motorsport UK comments, “The BKC has been a starting point in the career of numerous talented UK drivers. This unique opportunity will be a life-changing opportunity for one young driver and we are excited to support the future of British motorsport talent.” 

Nicole van der Walt, Motorsport Manager at Radical Motorsport, expressed her enthusiasm, “We are committed to nurturing the future stars of motorsport, and this partnership with Wera Tools UK aligns perfectly with our mission. The Radical Cup UK has always been a breeding ground for talented drivers, and we’re excited to provide this incredible opportunity to a deserving young karter.” 

Martin Fallon, Marketing Manager of Wera Tools UK, added, “At Wera, we believe the tools can always be developed further and our innovative approach has led to many industry-leading products. We see these same qualities in the rising stars of British motorsport. By partnering with Radical Motorsport, we are not only supporting the development of young talent but also highlighting the importance of high-performance tools in achieving success on and off the track.” 

Drivers who meet the above criteria can have the chance to meet the Radical team and get up close with the new Radical SR3 XXR at the final rounds of this year’s Wera Tools British Kart Championships, on 6-8 September at Whilton Mill, and 27-29 September at Three Sisters.
