with your unique driving style. What would you like to say about the British karting championship?

     It was a great championship to participate in. The 2009 championship where I finished P5 It increased my confidence and my dad helped me in developing my kart from fast to super fast and they used to call me Billy Whizz, my dad’s support was always with me and some good strategies from my dad and team principal helped me in dominating the whole season.

    Dave Wooder, who finished P2 in 2010 has said that it ewes impossible to overtake you in straights and even said that you were 10 times quicker than others at turns and they were unable to cover the gap between you and others and it was impossible to stop you when it’s raining and Billy completely deserved to win the championship. Congrats Billy our next Lewis Hamilton. These were his words.

    I read them in an article and he’s a great guy to be around, he has a positive attitude with a lot of his background. Thank you, Dave

     You were included in group A for Qualifying sessions and you didn’t give your best in the session. You qualified P12 were you could have been a bit more than P12. And you were too slow compared to your previous qualifying records.

     I was a bit nervous and was a lot slower compared to my previous races in the UK and I got qualified for the next round

     You were placed in Group D. They say that Group D is a group of death but there was not even a single person from your group who could challenge you for the title

     In your first race of the championship, you qualified P15 and you gained 9 positions in the race and finished P6 at the end of the race. It was a great comeback from you Billy after a disasters qualifying session.

Mazepin finished P22 and you were too good to challenge him and you finished P5

    In round 4 you didn’t have the best of you Finished P14. Even thou you finished outside the

    I won’t consider myself lucky because I finished P9 in the driver's championship and got qualified for

the pre-finale

    In the Prefinal round 1, you pushed a bit hard and got qualified inP6 and in the 3rd of the grid. You took your first podium of the champ by finishing P3 and you were flying again in the corners. The gap between you and Berkay who finished in P1 was +0.061.
