Lines claims podium finish in Trent Valley Kart Club third round

Finlay Lines claimed a podium finish in round three of the 2024 Trent Valley Kart Club (TVKC) Championship last weekend.

The Synergy Kart driver, competing against 28 other drivers in the IAME Waterswift class, set the eighth-fastest time in Qualifying on Saturday, meaning he would start from eighth place in both heats the next day.

Lines made progress in both heats, making up five places in heat one to finish in third place, before repeating the performance in heat two, with another third-place finish.

Thanks to the points he scored in both heats, Lines held second place in the Intermediate Classification, which is used to set the grid for the Final.

The lead changed hands several times during the opening two laps of the final, before the leading duo worked together and broke away, leaving a gap to Lines in third place.

Lines stayed ahead of the chasing group, before reeling in the leading duo by the final lap, with the Synergy Kart driver claiming the final place on the podium.

The Staffordshire based driver will be back this weekend in rounds 3 & 4 of the 2024 British Kart Championships – IAME class at Whilton Mill in Northamptonshire.
