Organised by the Singapore Motor Sports Association, the inaugural Nescafe Singapore Karting Championship 2010 makes it easier for Jon to compete with minimum interruption in his studies. Held at Kartright Speedway, Jon had finished no lower than second in all five rounds of the championships and eventually clinched the championship title in the Cadet Category. Year 2010 has been a very hectic year for Jon as it marks the most races (11) he has competed. In total, he has managed to win three races and grabbed three podiums.
The Year of the Rabbit (2011) in the Chinese zodiac was a very meaningful year for Jon. He was born in the year of the rabbit and indeed, the auspicious year has helped Jon secure his second cadet championship (back to back) in the Singapore Karting Championship (SKC). Comparing all five rounds of SKC across all five classes, Jon set two records by winning eight race finals out of 10, and also scored the highest number of points - 190 in total. However, due to his preparation for the Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE), Jon only managed to participate in four overseas races and secured podiums in the Rotax Invitational Race and All Stars Karting (round 1).
Two remarkable highlights in 2011 was being invited to "Learn to Fly with Qantas Ambassador Mark Webber" on 22 September, and winning the "Breakfast with Outstanding Kids brought to you by NESTLE® Breakfast Cereals". In addition, Jon was awarded the "Edusave Scholarship and Merit Bursary" for achieving excellent academic results (top 10% PSLE results in his school). This just shows that Jon has perfected the art of balancing his go-karting activities and his studies.
2012 will be an exciting year for Jon as he will face two new changes and challenges- studying in Victoria School (new inaugural 6-year programme VCA IP) and moving up the junior category in go-karting, which is even more competitive. It will be a new level of playing field for Jon, but he will continue to aim for the podium. For sure, he will participate in more overseas races. Stay tuned!
