Bird back on the Podium at Race against cancer

Bird back on the Podium at Race against cancer

26.11.2007: Bird back on the Podium at Race against cancer


A fine day at the Rye House Kart Circuit, Hertfordshire on Sunday saw Sam Bird (20, Claygate) do battle with many top names from all levels of International Motorsport. Javier Villa, Ben Hanley, Jonathan Kennard, James Jakes, Stephen Jelley, Tim Sugden, Alain Menu, Tom Onslow-Cole, Riki Christodolou, Jon Lancaster, Bradley Smith, Rob Huff, Romain Grosjean, Sebastian Hohenthal, Paul Rees, Henry Surtees and Chris Holmes among others were all supporting the Race Against Cancer, which was organised superbly by Rick Osborne and Matt Roberts.

Despite being a charity occasion, the adrenalin was pumping and all the drivers wanted to WIN! Qualifying took place on a damp track, and Sam’s time gave him a 9th grid slot for the first heat – he managed to weave his way up to third by the chequered flag. The next heat was in reverse order, so out of the 30 drivers taking part, Sam started 27th! A good start and he avoided the carnage around him, to finish 2nd. The points system in operation for the day put him right at the top, on pole for the final.

Alongside him was GP2 race winner Javier Villa, and right behind him kart stars Riki Christodolou and Jon Lancaster. Sam was hit from behind at the start, which saw him down in 4th by the first corner.

He quickly fought back into 2nd place right behind Villa, where he stayed for the remainder of the race, battling for the lead, but it wasn’t to be – although Sam looked as if he could overtake, the opportunity didn’t arise and at the chequered flag, Sam was almost joined onto the rear of Villa’s kart!¬

Sam in kart 2 at the start of the final.

"It was great fun to be back in a kart, and I had a lot of fun" said Sam "I’m glad I had the opportunity to support such a good cause and I hope it was successful for the charity".
