Cory Chapman, 10 and from Mundesley, finished third in the race at Stretton Circuit in Leicester at the weekend in the championship, called Total Karting Zero engineered by Rob Smedley.

Mr Chapman said: "It was changeable conditions with some dry and some rain spells. Cory was quite happy to come away with a trophy.
"Winning overall is still doable - he could leapfrog the two in front on points and come out on top. As Murray Walker said, anything can happen in motorsport and usually does."
