Lincolnshire kart racing star, Jack Harvey,
finally picked up his European Championship trophy last weekend at the CIK
FIA award ceremony in
Monaco. The Newark Steel backed youngster
was one of several international kart racers to receive their 2007 spoils at the
glamourous event, where Jack was lucky enough to meet
FIA President, Max
Mosley.
After a fantastic 2007 season the awards
ceremony was the final curtain on newly signed Birel Motorsport driver
Harvey’s time in the KF3 category. It was
also a chance for him to take in the sights of the Formula One playground,
Monaco.
“It was an amazing couple of days in
Monaco,” sad Jack. “The awards were
fantastic. There were a lot of categories and there were a lot of British
drivers receiving awards, which was good. It was great to finally receive the
official award for winning the European Championship. It closes a door for me on
KF3 and I can concentrate on picking up where we left off in KF2 from the start
of next year now.”
“It was a little bit surreal
when I first arrived. As someone who wants to be a professional racing driver
it’s one of the places that you dream about going to and spending time. To
actually get to see it and the lifestyle, it’s certainly made me want to achieve
everything that I can. It puts all the hard work and effort into
perspective.”
Although his racing activities
for the season have ended for this year, Jack will be back in action almost as
soon as the New Year starts, when he takes part in a 24 hour kart race at the
Autosport International Show in early January.
“I’m really looking forward to
the Autosport Show,” said Jack. “Even thought my season has only just ended, it
means that the new one is about to get underway. I am going to be really busy
over the course of the show and the 24-hour race should be really good
fun.
Apart from being in action in
the twice-around-the-clock marathon, Jack will be on the Alpinestars stand over
the course of the show, as well as taking in the new for 2008 Karting Show
section of he event, where he will be talking about his incredibly successful
2007 season on the main stage over the weekend.
