Devon retaining both titles in '23 & '24, whilst also making his debut in the Access Karting series in '24. The culmination of 2024 was a proud moment for both Devon and Mum Sam as Devon was awarded the Access Karting 'Drivers Driver' trophy, voted for by his fellow competitors. 2025 will no doubt be another big year for Devon and supermum mechanic Sam as they step up to Junior TKM, racing at Access Karting and Retro Kart Championship with Galactic racing.
