YOUNG karting star Liam Kelly is slowly taking a stranglehold on the Motors TV Ultimate Karting Challenge.

Kelly has dominated the championship so far and in the May round displayed his growing talent.

In Motors TV races the leaders start at the back of the grid to make races more competitive.

Kelly had 30 karts in front of him, knowing only a top three finish would keep him at the top of the leaderboard.

After a hard fight, Kelly powered past all but two drivers to take third place and hold on to the competition's overall lead for the second month.

Despite his success, Kelly is still struggling to find sponsorship and anyone able to help should call his dad Stuart on 07976 250767.
