Marcus Hudson uses EBC’s Green kart pads as he competes in the British Championship class
Kart racer Marcus Hudson is campaigning in the Super 4 British Championship for the 2025 season.
EBC’s Green kart pads and BF005.1 silicone fluid continues to be the brake setup of choice for Hudson and his fiery ABKC 250cc National kart.
The first two rounds of the year, including his outing at Fulbeck, were very positive for Hudson, who returned to Shenington most recently to clinch some even more positive results.
Read how the action panned out in the team’s own words below…
Super 4 2025 British Championship Round 3 Shenington
Heat 1 (Grid: 7th)
“A tough start saw me drop five positions off the line due to getting boxed in with nowhere to go. I managed to recover one spot immediately with a move into Turn 1. Later that lap, going into Stratford, 11th place collided with 10th from behind, sending them both off the circuit and promoting me further up the order. With two laps to go, another kart went off at Bruno, and on the final corner of the last lap, drama unfolded as a kart dropped water onto the track before retiring. Two others spun off as a result, while I kept it clean and crossed the line in a solid 6th place.”
Heat 2 (Grid: 15th)
“Off the start, there was an incident with a few karts and one kart rolled over bring out the red flags immediately. Thankfully the driver involved was ok and made it out for heat 3. On the full restart a strong opening lap saw me make a move at Café Corner and gain five more positions across the lap. Mid-race, I got a great exit out of Grandstand, allowing me to out-brake the kart ahead into Stratford and move into 9th. Two laps from the end, a retirement ahead bumped me up once more, and I finished the heat in 8th place.”
Heat 3 (Grid: 9th)
“I started well, making a pass exiting Grandstand onto the straight. Despite my pace, I got stuck behind another kart and just couldn’t find a way past. On the penultimate lap, chaos unfolded at the final corner when the kart in front of me misjudged his braking. He avoided the kart directly ahead but ended up hitting the one two places up, spinning him around. I capitalized on the incident and moved up two places, finishing 9th, exactly where I started.”
Final
“Mid-way through the race, I lost a position into Stratford. In the closing stages, the kart began to develop some issues, and I had to defend hard. On the last lap, I hugged the inside heading into Stratford, forcing the driver behind to attempt an outside move. He lost control and spun off on the inside of me, allowing me to maintain my position and finish the final in 9th place.
“We are at Rowrah in Cumbria for the next round of the British Championship at the end of June and we are running in 6th place in the championship.
