Copyright 2023 Dexter Collins Racing
Introduction
Dexter is a 12 year old Racer from Bluebell Hill Village in Kent.
He has always wanted to race ever since he was old enough to walk and talk. He started karting at 6 years old in the Bambino class at Buckmore Park, and later became their Bambino kart tester in his own time. He is always prepared to give back to the sport.
In 2021 he took part in the Bayford Meadows championship, finishing 3rd , tied for 2nd on points, but missed out on the runners up spot due to a lower dropped round.
In 2022 he competed in the following championships - Buckmore Park and Bayford Meadows hire kart championships. He also competed in the Brentwood Cadets, Seniors and the Super League. He is the youngest driver to ever compete and win the championship in Seniors and to race in the Super league.
In 2023 Dexter competed in his own Kart in the Buckmore Park and Bayford Meadows championships. He won his initial race which was the final round of the Bayford winter championship, he then won every final of the Minimax races that he entered and collected both championships.
Now in 2024 we have joined the GMS kart racing team, he is competing in Bayford, Buckmore and Whilton Mill championships in the highly competitive Junior class. The learning curve is steep and race by race the times are getting faster and Dexter is getting nearer the front.

Owner Driver Racing
Dexter has now retired his OTK kart as he is in a GMS provided CKR kart. He is still running 2 GMS engines at full Junior spec.
Because of Dexters weight and the ridiculous weight bandings in karting, even though he is only just going into the juniors, he is already 10kgs over the weight limit, so his CKR kart has lots of Carbon Fibre and Titanium to help keep the weight down. His current kart is nicknamed "Diet Coke"

This Season
We have signed up with the GMS Kart Racing Team for the 2024 season (and hopefully beyond). We have always had close ties with the team and use their engines.
He will be racing in a CKR kart supplied by GMS. For more information on CKR karts or GMS Engines please visit the GMS website. This is a very exciting chapter for Dexter as he will be facing some of the biggest challenges of his racing career.
