What's his background, didn't he win a free fford season thru that Kart stars contest?

[Clint32]

Mark has raced karts for many years and won numerous state and national titles as well as racing in the CIK series. He won the second Kart Stars series giving him the FF drive. He was always a very good driver in clubman, but didnt stand out as much in CIK with the stickier tyres, Formula Fords need to be thrown around a bit so i think he likes driving like that, done very well for his first season.

Mark had a little problem this morning while leading the 1st race,,,,unfortunately he clipped a curb and sideswipped the wall.

Car is fixable and he will line up again tomorrow morning but from the rear of the grid. Maybe I should have shut up,,,,I jinxed him.

It's actually not his 1st season in FF,,,,he did the Vic Tittles the year before.

I didnt say he didnt win in CIK i just said he didnt do as well, he kicked arse in Clubman winning everything, not so dominant in CIK thats all.
