Battling Injury at the GX-UK O Plate 😫

This O Plate race weekend at Dunkeswell was one of the toughest I’ve faced. Fighting through rib and back pain, I had to push myself to the limit just to stay competitive. From repairs to a scraped front bumper to being knocked down the grid, I struggled to find my rhythm but kept fighting back - even against top drivers like Bradley Philpot and Sam Dimelow. Join me for a hard-fought day on the track, where every corner was a challenge, and see how I managed to push through the pain to keep my race alive. It’s not about the podium this time - it’s about pure determination!"

Good vid Alex 💪🏻

[@AlexVangeenRacing]

Glad you enjoyed

[@BradPhilpot]

It’s finally here! I’ve been looking forward to this ❤

[@AlexVangeenRacing]

It’s been a crazy week! Thanks dude

[@BradPhilpot]

@@AlexVangeenRacingI think this is definitely your best work

[@AlexVangeenRacing]

@@BradPhilpotthanks man.

Great video Alex, glad I’m not the only one who makes middle aged noises as we get in and out of the kart 😂

[@AlexVangeenRacing]

It’s that twinned with being in a lot of pain. My intercostal muscles haven’t recovered from Lydd and my sciatica was particularly bad. I should do an “old man noises” ticker 😂 like Simon did a “tapping Paul” ticker

[@grubbymangomotorsport3992]

@ that would resonate with much of the grid! 😂

[@wrestlingisawesome]

Dedication ☝🏼

[@metalpigy]

[@AlexVangeenRacing]

As always, a fab video. 2025 is going to be epic!

[@AlexVangeenRacing]

I know!! Already 52 signed up. They had to stop sign ups after 2hrs because 2024 members haven’t all signed up yet

Kudos on the loss of weight (althout I had to google how much a stone represents 🤣🤣😂)

[@AlexVangeenRacing]

😂 I’m glad you enjoyed it. the next time I mention weight I’ll add all the other measurements to the screen. I’m looking to lose 1st 8lbs/10kg/22lbs by next season

[@andysouth9166]

Brilliant racing is it similar to prokart

[@AlexVangeenRacing]

It’s slower but way lighter and nicer to drive. The racing as you have seen is so close

[@ChrisB200SX]

I've recently found Brad's and your GX-UK videos and I'm quite interested in building a Kart to take part. What weight have you got down to and how much does your kart weigh, about 85kg? Did you need any ballast or was there still scope to get down to minimum driver+kart weight?

[@AlexVangeenRacing]

Thank you my biggest fan. ❤

[@ryansedgwick-londoncycling9007]

Could tell you were struggling with your back etc. Tentative on the starts compared to your normal approach and it cost you a bit. Great vid, love the POV cam!

[@AlexVangeenRacing]

I’m generally less aggressive in these than I was in rentals. But maybe sub-consciously I was
