King back in the groove after double bad break

Warwickshire karting hot-shot Jordan King returned from practically a two-month injury lay-off with a bang in the third round of the 2008/09 KF3 Winter Series at his local circuit of Shenington – by overcoming a distinct lack of track time to post a top six finish.

A broken collarbone shortly after his final outing of 2008 at Sarno in Italy sidelined Jordan until PF International back at the beginning of January – a meeting which lasted all the way up until the opening lap of his first heat for the 14-year-old, who got collected in a start-line pile-up and was helpless as another kart came over the top of his steering wheel…and left him with two broken fingers.

With more enforced time out of the seat, the JRP star was by his own admission ill-prepared for his Shenington return – but he rapidly made clear his intention of getting himself back on the pace as quickly as possible, lapping second-quickest to 2008 KF3 Champion Jake Dennis in the wet as the pair were the only two drivers to dip below the 47-second barrier.

The reigning Super 1 Mini Max Vice-Champion’s return to the competitive fray at Shenington also earned words of praise from his mechanic Stuart Wright, who is confident that together the pair can go one better this year – and lift the laurels both at home and abroad.
