Bridger’s Law is delighted to share an exciting update on rising karting talent Ronnie Smart, who has made an outstanding start to his first season competing in the highly competitive Junior Rotax class. Ronnie has continued to show exceptional skill, maturity, and determination as he progresses through the karting ranks.
Taking on the Challenge of Junior Rotax
After parking the Inter Max kart in late 2025, the team spent several weeks building Ronnie’s new Junior Rotax kart. Despite the jump in size and speed, Ronnie adapted quickly during winter testing and was ready to race as soon as he turned eligible in January.
Impressive Debut at Whilton Mill Club
Ronnie’s first Junior outing saw him compete in a huge 64‑driver grid at the Whilton Mill club round. Highlights included:
A fantastic result for his debut in such a competitive field.
Grit and Determination at PFI
PFI’s club round proved more challenging, but Ronnie again reached the A Final. After being taken out on lap one, he rejoined with a bent steering column and track rods – yet still set the second‑fastest lap of the race. A true show of resilience.
