I'M A REGIONAL CHAMPION - BIKC Middleweight Regional Finals at TeamSport Leicester 2024

[@TheSloth2023]

Well done Rob! You had a brilliant Regionals and wishing you all the best for Warrington - shame we can't be there to support you and Martin in person but we'll be cheering you both on remotely. Hope you have a great day and just remember out of approx 1000 people who entered in your weight class you're in the top 27 nationally!! That's amazing! Darren and Lily

[@RobGoesRacing]

Thanks! I'll be listening hard to hear the cheering! 🏆

[@Oscarmallettracing]

Absolutely awesome Rob, super pleased you made it all the way to Warrington, and to see you walk away from Leicester the champion is epic! It was also good to see our old Birmingham karts once again, we miss those. Kart 7 & 10 we found were the best of the fleet. Kart 10 was actually re-built after a massive smash and came back stronger. And Oscar got the fastest ever lap time on the social members leaderboard in kart 7. We'll be tuned in and watching you live at Warrington and you'll be up against an absolutely cracking guy called Jamie Foster. He's been massive this year supporting Oscar so lets hope both of you can get on that podium 🤞🏻 Really wishing you all the best and ofcpurse you'll hear us screaming for you all the way from Birmingham. Congratulations from Oscar and Lee (dad) 🎉🎉🎉

[@RobGoesRacing]

Cheers both! I definitely got on well with the new fleet, they all felt fairly similar to be fair. I'll push at Warrington! 🏆

[@TeamTopGun]

Great work Rob, congratulations 👏🎉👏, good luck in the finals, we will be cheering you on.

[@RobGoesRacing]

Thanks guys, I'll do my best!

Cheers mate 👍

Hi Rob, I raced with you yesterday in the 40 lap session at TeamSport Warrington. I watch your videos, but somehow didn't recognise you in person and only realised it was you when I looked at the results on my phone and saw your tag when I got home. I have only been karting for 2 months, mainly at my local indoor circuit in Preston and that was my first time at Warrington and my first 40 lap race. I was extremely surprised to find that the vast majority of the field were serious drivers, lots of whom are practicing for BIKC finals! To say I found it pretty intense is an understatement - hope I didn't get in your way too much! Bloody sore this morning! :)

[@RobGoesRacing]

Oh nice 👋 It was a fast race, I was starting to lag at the end, I was expecting at least a short break whilst changing karts! 😂 No-one got in my way 👍 Next time say hi! 😉

[@pshuttle]

@@RobGoesRacing I will indeed!

[@CHARLIES-CARS]

Massive congrats Rob. Charlie and I will be at Warrington for the Nationals. Sadly Charlie was rammed in his Regional Final and wasn't given his place back so has missed out this year. Be nice to finally meet. Charlie is very excited to meet You! All the best!

[@RobGoesRacing]

Thanks! Will be great to finally meet you both! 🙂

[@RafalKarting]

It's been great racing with you Congratulations and good luck for the Nationals

[@RobGoesRacing]

Thanks, likewise! 🏆

[@LCKarting]

was nice to finally have met you Rob and congrats on taking the top spot. sadly i could only get 4th in the grand final in lightweight but i was very very close after being 2nd in everything but the grand. safe to say you dominated middleweights 👊

[@RobGoesRacing]

And you 👍 Better luck for next year, bigger and stronger! 🏆

[@JB-Karting]

Congrats again Rob on getting to nationals! Regionals this year at Leicester to me really felt about as fair as you could get for the event, especially with the updated fleet. Would've loved to have been able to fight a bit more at the front in the grand final, unfortunately not having that practice beforehand really showed in qualifying. Hopefully see you at regionals next year if we're grouped together again!

[@RobGoesRacing]

Cheers Jonathan! Bigger and better next year! 🏆

[@thegingerbrit2962]

Amazing job Rob! Expertly driven! I've just started rental karting myself and your videos are an invaluable resource of learning opportunities. I love that you post your runs unedited so I can see how your race line evolves during a session. I'm struggling a little with my "slow in, fast out" and getting the kart cornering the way I need it to to keep up the speed through technical sections. Any advice or a preferred style of cornering you'd recommend? Good luck in Warrington - I'll be rooting for you! :)

[@RobGoesRacing]

My method is usually throw it in and hold on tbh 😂 I've learnt most of my lines and braking points by following someone I know weighs about the same as me (important) and is faster than me (also important!) Thanks 🏆

[@BenPaines]

Great video Rob, congrats on the clean sweep, wishing you the best of luck at Warrington! 💪🏾

[@RobGoesRacing]

Cheers Ben, appreciated! 👍

[@Tox1626]

Well done Rob, best of luck at Warrington, bring it back to Sheffield !!

[@RobGoesRacing]

Cheers! I'll give it my all, but not looking like I'll get much practice in!

[@racingoscar]

Congrats mate!! You deserve this!! TS Sheffield will be cheering you on at Warrington 🏎

[@RobGoesRacing]

Cheers Oscar! 👍

[@LittlestBun]

@@RobGoesRacing Warrington I'm going to say is just have fun. You are against some multi-champions and some first-timers in Nationals so good luck!

[@paulbarrow2353]

Is there an over 50's race?

[@RobGoesRacing]

Kilos? Yeah, sure - see lightweights 😂

[@RileyLawcock]

If you need help for Warrington let me know it’s my local track

[@RobGoesRacing]

Any help I can get!! I've not managed to book onto any of the members events yet, so might aim to do a 40 lapper at some point!

[@RileyLawcock]

two people who do the 40 lapper will be able to give you some tips and there is guy there that were the McLaren suit he is in same weight category as you and he set 52.01

[@RobGoesRacing]

Great, thanks!
