Dexter

Introduction

Dexter Collins is a 13-year-old kart racer from Bluebell Hill Village in Kent. He’s been passionate about racing since he was old enough to walk and talk, starting his karting journey at just six years old in the Bambino class at Buckmore Park. Dexter’s commitment to the sport goes beyond racing—he’s also served as a Bambino kart tester for Buckmore Park, always looking for ways to give back.

Career Highlights:

2021: Competed in the Bayford Meadows Championship, finishing 3rd overall—tied for 2nd on points but missing out on the runner-up spot due to a lower dropped round.

2022: Participated in multiple championships including Buckmore Park and Bayford Meadows Hire Kart Championships, as well as the Brentwood Cadets, Seniors, and Super League. Dexter made history as the youngest driver to ever win the Senior Championship and race in the Super League.

2023: Dominated his first owner-driver season in the MiniMax category, winning all four championships he entered, going undefeated at Bayford Meadows and Buckmore Park.

2024/2025: Joined the GMS Kart Racing team and stepped up early to race in the Rotax Junior class. Despite the challenge of being 10kg over the weight limit due to karting weight bands, Dexter made significant progress, competing in a high-performance CKR kart with Carbon Fibre and Titanium parts to manage his weight. The 2025 season has been challenging, as Dexter was 10% heavier than his competitors. He finished an impressive 17th out of 113 drivers at Whilton Mill, while also competing in rounds at Bayford Meadows and Buckmore Park. Dexter secured wins and podium finishes in 3 races, showcasing his resilience and determination.

2026: Dexter is focused on transitioning to the Senior class, where weight will no longer be an issue. He plans to compete at Bayford Meadows, Buckmore Park, and Whilton Mill, targeting success in the Senior category as he continues his racing journey.
