GXUK Senior Series Karting at Rowrah | Cumbria Kart Club Race Weekend Highlights 🏎

Welcome back to my channel! In this video, I take you onboard for an action-packed weekend of competitive go-kart racing at Cumbria Kart Club’s Rowrah Circuit in the GXUK Senior Series. This was a tough but exciting round, with heat results of P12, P6, and P6, before heading into the Final where I started P12 and went backwards in a challenging race. Even though the results didn’t go my way, this weekend was full of lessons, epic battles, and the thrill of racing at one of the UK’s most iconic kart tracks.

🏁 My Race Weekend Recap

Heat 1 was a struggle, finishing 12th, but I fought back with two strong P6 finishes in the following heats. The Final didn’t go to plan, starting 12th and slipping back, but that’s karting! It’s all part of learning, pushing limits, and racing hard.
