Sunderland driver Charlie Benson

With an ever-growing title-winning karting CV, he now looks towards the next big step in his motorsport career with a move into Britain's premier single-seater category.

Charlie has speed and talent in abundance, as shown in the very early years of his career. It began in karting, and it did not take long for him to reach the top step of the podium, clinching his most illustrious crown in 2022.

At the age of just 12, Charlie stormed to the Superone Karting Championship title that year, a title that many of the current crop of F1 superstars fought over in their early days before climbing the car racing ladder.
