A teenage karting driver from Magherafelt raced his way to second place in not one but two major championships in October and is now both Junior Vice-World Champion and Junior Vice-British Champion.
Fionn McLaughlin (14) has been ‘one to watch’ in the karting world for the past number of years, achieving consistent success in races across the UK, Ireland and Europe. Racing since the age of three, he has a variety of titles to his name, with the latest two another boost to his blossoming career.
Part of the Fusion Motorsport team – one of the leading global karting teams – Fionn has been travelling throughout Europe, training and competing for the past six years. Dedicating many hours of training to qualify for the championships, he was ultimately pleased with his placings, although his competitive eye is always, of course, on first place.
