Marcus Hudson uses EBC’s Green kart pads as he competes in the British Championship class

Kart racer Marcus Hudson is once again 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.

Following a promising start at Three Sisters, Hudson was back at Fulbeck for Round 2, where more solid driving helped him to continue his impressive championship standings.

Read how the action panned out in the team’s own words below…

Super 4 2025 British Championship Round 2 Fulbeck 

“Saturday was a productive day as we dialled in a solid setup on the kart. We found a good balance early, which gave us confidence heading into race day.”

Heat 1 (Grid: 10th)

In Heat 1, things started off promisingly as I moved up through the field. On lap 6, while making a move for 9th place, I ended up tangling with another kart. The contact broke my right steering arm and caused the tyre to come off the rim, forcing a DNF.”

Heat 2 (Grid: 20th)

“Heat 2 saw a strong recovery. I gained 7 positions on the opening lap, jumping from 20th to 13th. I managed to pass a kart through the middle of the Boot Complex, and after another competitor retired, I was up another spot. A well-timed out-brake into Turn 1 gained me another position. Mid-race, I was stuck behind 6th and 7th but kept the pressure on. With a few laps left, 6th place had a poor exit out of the last corner, which also compromised 7th. I got a great run and managed to pass both on the straight, crossing the line in 6th place.”

Heat 3 (Grid: 3rd)

In Heat 3, I dropped to 8th, struggling particularly with traction onto the straight. The rising temperatures in the afternoon required us to lean out the engine, but we opted to play it safe to avoid a potential engine failure.”

Final

“I started the final in 9th and brought it home in 10th. It was a consistent run, and although we didn’t move forward, it was important to collect solid points.

“After this round, we’ve moved up to 6th in the championship standings – a positive step forward with plenty of racing still to go. For the next round we head to Shenington Circuit in Oxfordshire. Massive shoutout to Raymond and Jason for all the hard work over the weekend.

“Thanks to all my sponsors: Maxview, Silkolene, Charmed Interiors, NGK Spark Plugs, EBC Brakes, HairStyles, Carter Haulage and Listers BMW.”
