Superkart success for Palletforce and Farralls sponsored driver

A Supercart driver sponsored by Palletforce and Edwin C Farrall Transport is celebrating a successful season after winning the sport’s British Grand Prix and UK Cup.

Daniel Edwards is now the only person in 33 years to win the British Grand Prix four times in the 125 Open class.

This year he also raced to victory in the UK Cup and came second in the British Championships.

"I am really pleased with the success I have had this season," said Daniel, 28, of Winsford.

"I am already looking forward to the next season and I’m now thinking about how to prepare for it."

As well as racing the kart – at speeds of 125mph – Daniel, who installs wood-burning stoves, also looks after all the mechanics, with a little help from his father.

For the past two years he has been sponsored by Palletforce, the UK and Europe’s leading palletised distribution network, and one of their members, Edwin C Farrall Transport, based in Chester.

"The sponsorship I receive from Palletforce and Edwin C Farrall Transport goes a long way in helping me keep the kart in the best condition possible," said Daniel.

"It is really important to keep the motors in top form when we’re racing at high speed and that would be very difficult without the sponsors’ support so I’m really grateful to them."

Dave Holland, Sales and Marketing Director at Palletforce, said: "We’re delighted that Daniel’s hard work, talent and dedication is reaping rewards with national titles.

"We’re delighted to sponsor someone who shows such commitment and ambition, and we cannot wait for his next season."
