From the Head of PE and Sport 01.10.2022
Bonjour Le Mans – Allez, allez Jacob!
A few weeks ago I reported on the success and progress of Jacob (10S) in his participation in the Malaysian Junior Kart Series. He was already in a very strong position going into the final round of the competition, and I am very excited to announce to the KIS community that Jacob has qualified to race in Le Mans, France next month in the World Junior Championships!
Jacob has booked a ticket to the start line where he will line up against 120 of the best Junior drivers from around the world, a tremendously exciting opportunity!
So, please join me in wishing Jacob and his team all the very best for his biggest racing challenge to date!
