We are delighted to be sponsoring 13-year-old, up and coming go karting champion, Carter Inskip-Clarkson from Cheadle a location that we are currently developing new homes.
An aspiring motor sport racing driver, Carter has had many successes in karting to date – in 2022, after a few months of going to his local indoor track, Carter was entered into the British Indoor Karting Championship. With over 600 entrants in his category, Carter qualified for the national finals along with the top 29 drivers in the country.
During 2023, Carter made the decision to move to outdoor karting and has never looked back. Carter competed in the Daniel Ricciardo Series Championship (DRS). During his rookie year in the DRS62 class, he competed in seven rounds and finished on the podium in each one.
Following the grand final in 2023, Carter went on to take the DRS62 Academy Champion title in his rookie year. At the awards evening it was announced that Carter had made history, finishing 3rd in the DRS62 overall championship, becoming the first Academy driver to ever finish on the podium in the overall Championship! After a successful 2023, Carter made the decision to move into the DRS100 category for 2024, which meant a much bigger and faster kart, with speeds exceeding 70mph.
Carter Inskip-Clarkson said “When Walton Homes let me know that they would love to support me in my karting journey, it was such a great feeling. I knew their £500 sponsorship would allow me to enter another DRS100 Championship round and buy my race slicks for the weekend too. Without support like this, my karting journey would be very restricted – I can’t tell you how grateful I am for the support from Walton Homes!”
