Hi Future Partners, Sponsors & Supporters!

I'm Margiris, a 12-year-old British-Lithuanian kart and sim racing driver competing in the IAME Waterswift (Mini X30) category in 2025. My ambition is simple: to progress step by step through karting and build the foundations needed to reach the highest levels of motorsport.

I first drove a rental kart at the age of eight and immediately discovered a passion for racing. From my first races at local club level, I was competing against drivers as old as 16, and learning fast. I began winning races, summer and winter championships, setting lap records and moving through the levels quicker than expected.

By the age of nine, I became the youngest-ever race winner in Club 100, learning racecraft, consistency and how to fight through the field under pressure. In 2024, I stepped into Honda Cadet for what was intended to be a learning year. Competing against drivers up to two years older, I finished as British Vice Champion, earned British Rookie of the Year, secured multiple race wins and pole positions, and became the first Lithuanian driver to win a British Kart Championship event. All of this was achieved with just me as the driver and my step-dad as the mechanic, on a very limited budget.

In 2025, I moved into IAME Waterswift, Europe’s most competitive category for my age group. With limited experience, minimal testing and old used equipment, I steadily improved throughout the season, achieving podiums, top-five finishes in the British Kart Championship and finishing as British Kart Championship Top Privateer. Again, all of this was achieved with just me as the driver and my step-dad as the mechanic, on a budget up to 10x lower than my competitors.

Alongside racing, I have developed a strong technical understanding through working closely with Apollo Karts to help turn a brand-new chassis into a race-winning package through detailed driver feedback. This experience has accelerated my growth both on and off the track.

Some of my career highlights to date, include;

·       ⏱️ Lap record holder at Herefordshire Raceway (Local Track)

·       🏆 Youngest-ever Club 100 race winner (age 9)

·       🥈 British Honda Cadet Vice Champion (2024)

·       🏆 British Honda Cadet Rookie of the Year (2024)

·       🇱🇹 First Lithuanian driver to win a British Kart Championship event

·       🏎️ Multiple British Championship race wins & pole positions (2024)

·       ⭐ UK Kart Series Champion (2024)

·       🏁 Multiple IAME Waterswift podiums (2025)

·       🏆 British Kart Championship Top Privateer (2025)

·       🛠️ Key development driver for Apollo Karts (IAME, Honda & Rotax)

·       ⏱️ Pole positions, wins & lap records across three engine classes

I am fully committed to continuous improvement and long-term progression, and I look forward to building the next chapter of my racing career with the right people alongside me.

Kind regards,

Margiris Koveckis
