ABOUT ME
My name is Jack Burgess and I am a 14 year old

with Autism . With these disabilities come
many obstacles both socially and academically

to my life.
My dedication to the sport will help me to succeed and

Motorsport is my life and this is something I want to
make a career of.

KARTING TO CARS
Driving towards making the dream a reality
I started indoor karting in may 2021 and from there met Matty Street, who is the Xkart team owner, Matty is not only an
entrepreneur he is also an ambassador for autism, something which he has also been diagnosed with .
He invited me to join the team after watching me on his indoor track
in Rochdale and seeing the great potential that I had. After a few
outdoor test days my parents decided that is was time to buy me
my very own kart, this is something I will be forever grateful for as it has changed my life.
These last 2 seasons have been amazing and I have shown my potential as a driver, I have enjoyed every second in Karting but it is time to move onto bigger things as I have been offered a seat in a fiesta Junior with BPC Motorsport Racing team, which means I will be taking the jump a year early into Fiestas and
racing on the same calendar as the TCR
races. These races will be shown live on YouTube.
I was offered the seat after having a test day with them at Blyton Park, they were very impressed with my driving skills and decided that I would be perfect for the team.
DRIVEN DREAMS
In 2022 I was asked to be one of the main stars in an docu-series all about the CKC/JKC which is on AMAZON TV. This series is about showing the ups and downs of karting and also showing people that it is not just a hobby it’s a lifestyle .
This was amazing to film and will be something special to look back on especially as it has captured my first season in Karting.
Episode One is about me and another driver and I also have guest appearances on many of the other episodes.
More information on this series is available on the driven
dreams website
Some exciting news for 2024 is that I have been asked to film with Citizen Films who are based in San Francisco for a new up and coming documentary called Racing on the Spectrum. Filming for this starts in February 2024
2023 brought bigger and better things. I have been competing in the MSUK Whilton Mill Kart club BefastR This was a championship where I have seen my race craft and confidence improve. This season I have already picked up many Trophies even getting a 1st place at the super one championship and many 2nd place trophies. I recently finished 4th overall in the WMKC championship out of over 60 drivers. A Top 5 was the aim and we have done it!
MY TEAM
La Familia
I joined XKart in September 2021 after meeting Matty Street, who is the Xkart and Team Karting owner.
Matty is not only an entrepreneur he is also an ambassador for autism, something
which he himself has also been diagnosed with .
He invited me to join the team after watching me on his indoor track
in Rochdale and seeing the great potential that I had.
Xkart is not only a team, it is a family. 2024 I will be working alongside BPC Motorsport as well as XKart my focus will be on the Fiesta Junior Championship but I will still be testing in the kart to keep my fitness levels up.
