A need for speed

A Welsh teenager has taken a  rather lower cost route to  becoming a racing driver than is  usual. The lad was a keen kart racer  from a young age and showed  ability but was not deterred when  the local kart track closed down.  Instead he continued to hone his  skills by playing videogames, nally  winning the European round of a  gaming competition run jointly by  2546 Sony and 2454 Nissan to see if gamers  could become proper racing  drivers. After completing intensive  driver training, he then went on to  come third in his category in a 24  hour endurance car racing event in  Dubai.
