“We have had a busy season competing in both KA TAG and X30 and both classes have provided some very close and exciting racing. I’ve spent a lot of time with the team, working on different setups for the tracks we have visited and it has paid off in picking up the Championship win in KA TAG and second in X30 by 1 point.

"Along the way, I also managed to pick up the 2015 ‘Qualifying Award’ so it has been a magnificent season and these results have given me a great boost of confidence ahead of next week in Portugal,” Jenner said.

In addition to his achievements in KA TAG and X30, Brad was officially announced as the 2015 MG Tyres ‘Driver’s Driver of the Year Award’ at the presentation night, an award that is judged upon by fellow drivers in the Australian Kart Championship and one that he holds in very high regard.

“It is such a huge achievement and an amazing feeling to be awarded the MG Tyres ‘Driver’s Driver of the Year Award. I’ve had an amazing season on track, but it means so much to be held in such high regard by the drivers around me. As a team, we have made a lot of advancements in so many areas throughout the year and I’ve worked on improving every aspect of my driving, so this is a great encouragement after the work we have put in,” Jenner added.
