Daily Post:
Rally ace David Higgins sets lap time at Redline Karting in Caernarfon

Feb 17 2009 by Tom Simone, Daily Post
ONE of Britain's greatest rally drivers has set a time for all go-kart enthusiasts to try and beat.

David Higgins, four times British Rally Champion, got a lap of 16.90 seconds at the Redline Karting track in Caernarfon.

He was there competing against members of the public as part of a promotional event for the centre.

The showpiece was a 10 lap race against one of North Wales’ most promising sporting talents, 12-year-old Luke Hughes from Llysfaen.

David, of Trefeglwys, Mid Wales, just about managed to win and afterward said: "I thought he'd wipe the floor with me – it was a good race!

"I started go-karting when I was 10 against the likes of David Coulthard and it's a good entry into motorsports.”

He added: "As well as promoting what goes on at Redline we’re looking for sponsors for the British Rally Championship."

Despite his tender age Luke has won a shelf full of trophies: he was 6th in the British Championship in 2007 and last year he moved up to the Minimax class.

He said: "It was great to race against someone like David. My aim this year is to get a top 10 position in the British Championships."
