It’s Alfie’s second year in an event that helped start the F1 careers of Lewis Hamilton, Jensen Button, Lando Norris and George Russell.

And Alfie has a great chance of success. He’s been in decent form this season and will start the Championships as the third seed in his class.

Alfie competed at Snetterton a fortnight ago and started in the race on the front row before settling for a creditable third place finish. It was the latest in a string of podium finishes for Alfie this season.

As a rookie Alfie finished ninth in the British Championships last season, but impressed British Championship winning manufacturers TAL-KO Racing enough for them to invite him to drive for the team in 2021.

Tal-Ko boss Alan Turney commented “We first noticed Alfie in 2020. He had some stand out performances throughout the year, along with a positive attitude towards racing so we decided to give him the opportunity to become part of the Tal-Ko family. I’m looking forward to future success and kart development with Alfie at the wheel.”
