Ronnie was a relative latecomer to karting starting off with sporadic visits to capital karts and teamsport initially, shortly before his ninth birthday. He didn't enter competitive karting until the age of 13, around September 2022. 

Cutting his teeth primarily at Brentwood  junior league and the Buckmore park junior Pro league, Ronnie has had the odd foray into Lakeside junior league and club73 at junior and senior level with a handful of podium visits at all of them. These experiences, some quite successful particularly on outdoor tracks, were to serve him well later on.

When he heard about the GXUK series  through a friend of a friend he knew it was for him and took money bequeathed from his late grandad to buy his first kart. It was never going to be easy, with a limited tool set and a less than limited mechanical skill set, Ronnie knew he would have to dig deep into his driving ability to make things happen, and he certainly did that. Taking his first win in his first competitive race at Clay pigeon in the 'M' plate his journey to the GXUK championship was under way. Against stiff competition across the board, determination and consistency earned him five podium finishes from a possible six, with four wins two of which were grand slams. Ultimately Ronnie became the inaugural GXUK junior champion in 2024. 

Ronnie rocket Townsends adventure with access karting will continue in 2025 as he makes the exciting leap to the GXUK senior championship. "Brace yourself Rodney (Ronnie)"

My mum and dad bought me a karting day for my 12th birthday having never sat in a kart before. I loved it!

I did a few races in hired electric karts but then decided to get our own. I did a few IKR races in cadets at Clay and Mansell for a few months but then soon realised I was too big and then heard about GX-UK, so thought we’d give it a try.

This is my second season in GX-UK Juniors and I hope for more wins alongside the O and M plates that I’ve won, and I’m the first driver in GX-UK Juniors to hold 2 plates at the same time.

My hero’s are Ayrton senna , Valentino Rossi and of course my dad who fixes the kart and makes it all possible. I hope I can be as good as them one day. I also hope to make racing my future in cars.
