Sunday of Round 2 in the 2026 Champions of the Future Academy Program UK brought another full reset at PF International Kart Circuit, with drivers once again tackling one of the UK’s fastest circuits through qualifying, heats and finals. Dry conditions remained throughout most of Sunday, allowing the pace to intensify as the weekend concluded with another packed day of racing across OK-N Junior, MINI 60 and OK-N Senior.
Nuvolini prevails in six-way fight
Harley Musk opened Sunday by securing a second consecutive pole position in OK-N Junior ahead of Freddie Wood and Louis Radcliffe as the margins remained exceptionally close once again.
The heats then delivered another shake-up in the order. Wood emerged on top of the combined standings after securing victory in the final heat to claim provisional pole position ahead of Musk and Sukhmani Khera.
The final produced one of the standout races of the weekend. Multiple drivers traded the lead throughout the 15-lap contest, with Harley Musk, Louis Radcliffe, Sukhmani Khera and Many Nuvolini all spending time at the front. In the closing laps, Nuvolini emerged ahead of an intense battle to secure victory ahead of Freddie Wood and Colbe Pattison.
Musk crossed the line third on the road before receiving a five-second penalty for a jump start, dropping him to ninth in the final classification. Radcliffe also received a post-race penalty, promoting Khera and Lucien Smith further up the order.
Forkes converts pole into MINI 60 Victory
James Roots led the way in MINI 60 qualifying on Sunday morning, narrowly edging Max Zvarich and Chester Forkes in another tightly contested session.
But through the heats, Forkes regained the advantage to secure provisional pole position for the final ahead of Charles Clough and Zvarich after another competitive afternoon across the category.
Forkes then converted provisional pole position into victory in the final with a controlled drive at the front of the field. James Roots secured second place ahead of Ilyas Sami, while Bodhi Batch finished fourth overall to claim another U10 victory after another strong performance in the subclass.
Post-race penalties also reshuffled parts of the classification, with Noah Cronje and Joss Huschka both receiving five-second penalties after the finish.
Whitticombe maintains a perfect Senior record
Harrison Whitticombe once again controlled the pace in OK-N Senior, taking pole position ahead of Lizzy Mentier and Eva Morris in the closest Senior qualifying session of the weekend.
The championship leader then completed another clean sweep through the heats to secure provisional pole position for the final ahead of Morris and Mentier.
In the final, Whitticombe maintained his unbeaten run with a fourth victory from four finals so far this season, continuing a dominant start to the championship. Morris secured second place while Benjamin Baker completed the podium to conclude another competitive weekend in the Senior category.
