Karting Club: President

Hi, my name is Udi and during the 2021/22 academic year I served as the Welfare Officer for the Karting Society. I have a huge passion for motorsport and have been racing competitively for over 5 years.  

The President has the responsibility of leading the society’s British Universities Karting Championship (BUKC) team and as a winning driver for UCL, and having been part of the team for 3 years as well as competing in CLUB100 Sprint and Endurance races in my own time, I have shown that I have the skill set and dedication to take the society to the next level. I will make sure there are more opportunities for new drivers to have a chance to take part in the BUKC, and will be able to pass on my experience to the future leaders of the club.  

On the Social side, I aim to help provide a wider range of motorsport related activities on top of Arrive and Drive Karting from the start of the academic year for those who simply want to have a fun day out with their mates. 

Having been part of the Society since 2019 and having served on the committee, I have gained the necessary experience to run the society in a slick and smooth manner. Under my leadership, everything from social to competitive events will be well organised in advanced with no issues. 

Thank you for considering my nomination, 

Udi Menon

Karting is one of the best ways to unwind, relax and compete with friends after a long day of university work. It's even better when there's an entire community dedicated to embracing casually and competitively passionate karters, organising exciting events across different tracks in London.

Therefore, leading this community would be an honour. I've got a robust plan in place to make the UCL Karting Club better than ever. Have a look:

• Booking indoor tracks exclusively for UCL Karting Club members, with a better racing format
  • Social karting events will include organised race sessions exclusive to UCL with practice, qualifying and racing instead of just timed 15-minute sessions
  • For those who want more immersive and true wheel-to-wheel action with a podium celebration, but are not in the smaller competitive team
  • Events with simpler, timed sessions will also be held to introduce newcomers
• Greater variety & frequency of socials - we can do so much more than only going to bars!
  • Bowling and F1/motorsports quiz nights will be held, bringing us together while chatting about what we love most
• Taking the racing to the digital world
  • We'll have a Discord server so that you can play racing sims & simcades such as F1, AC and iRacing with other members - virtual races and events will be held!

All of this and more is on the agenda if I become President of the UCL Karting Club, and I hope you'll give me your vote!
