As a large Formula 1 fan, Riley began his karting journey at Rye House on the junior track, starting with the electric karts and moving on to the Bambinos. He took some time out before returning to the main track doing arrive and drive sessions.
In 2021 he took part in the Rookie Cup, an arrive and drive championship. This was his first championship and he was consistent throughout which saw him finish 10th in the championship.
In 2021 we purchased his first kart, a 2012 Project One Honda Cadet. Taking part in test days, he wanted to do the Rye House IKR series. We studied the times and grids and I set him a goal of hitting 44 second laps before he could enter. After a few months, he managed to hit this goal so we focused on getting in a position ready to take part.
In 2022, he is competing in the Rye House IKR Championship, this is his main championship where we are very much focused on learning to drive, learning to race and how things work for a race day. He currently sat 11th in the championship, with a fantastic wet performance in round 3 scoring him a 5th place finish.
For 2023 we are moving class as he will be too old for Honda Cadets, so 2023 will involve getting a Rotax (most likely), learning to drive the Rotax, learning how to operate a Rotax. We may also take part in another championship.

Just updating the post, I have now created a website (which I am adding to at the moment) which can be found at https://www.rileymasonlewis.com ( Welcome - Riley Mason-Lewis ). With this I also created a dedicated YouTube channel and Facebook page. Please feel free to give them both a like/subscribe/follow etc.

We bid farewell to competing in Honda Cadets the other week. We should be getting our kart for 23 very soon, and we are fairly sure we know what we're doing for 23 now.

We have a new kart for 2023 which is progress. Bought this from a friend, took it for a first drive at Bayford over the weekend and thanks to help from Paul and John at Ambition Motorsport, had a decent day. Riley was shocked at the difference between cadet and Mini Max! I have a lot to learn as dad throwing spanners. We're booked in to the Christmas Cup in a couple of weeks.

Looking good well done guys!

How are the tyres going for the winter rounds? I know Ian mentioned to me they may trial new tyres every meeting? Or every 2 meetings?

We used the tyres for two rounds without any problem. They are allowing a new set per race day if you want. But I am tight with the cash. Might allow him to use the new set for the final of the winter series though.

New race report is now up, little bit of heartbreak in there.
