Kai Veitch has been featured again in The Philippine Star, with Joaquin M. Henson covering his move from karting into Ginetta Junior, his Filipino heritage and the launch of #TeamKV.
Kai Veitch’s progression from karting into car racing has been featured in The Philippine Star, one of the Philippines’ leading national publications, as his story continues to gain international attention.
The article, published in Joaquin M. Henson’s Sporting Chance column under the title “From karts to cars”, highlights Kai’s move into the Ginetta Junior Championship and the next stage of his development as he works towards Formula 4 and, ultimately, his long-term Formula 1 ambition.
The piece describes Kai as a Fil-Aussie-British driver and notes his Filipino family roots in Manila and Laoag, helping introduce his story to a wider Filipino audience. It also covers his move from karting into Ginetta Junior, a recognised entry point for young drivers aged 14 to 17, and one of the established junior categories on the pathway into single-seaters.
Kai’s first weekend in the championship at Donington Park was also referenced, where he finished 16th, 12th and 11th across his first three Ginetta Junior races. That opening weekend marked an important step in Kai’s transition from karting into cars, giving him his first full race experience in one of the UK’s most competitive junior series.
The article also included Kai’s own reflections on the season ahead, with the focus on learning every session, making the most of every lap and proving that he belongs in the championship. It also referenced comments from Pace Performance team principal Sean Byrne, who highlighted Kai’s work ethic and preparation as important foundations for his development.
Off track, the feature covered the launch of #TeamKV, the grassroots supporter programme created to give individuals, families and supporters a direct way to back Kai’s journey as he moves into cars. The article also noted the wider partnership push around Kai’s Filipino heritage, including outreach to Filipino businesses, families and entrepreneurs who may want to support a young driver building a career in European motorsport.
For Kai Veitch Racing, the coverage is another important step in building the platform around Kai’s rookie season in Ginetta Junior. Alongside previous media attention in the UK, Australia and the Philippines, it shows that Kai’s story is continuing to resonate beyond the paddock.
As Kai continues his first season in cars with Pace Performance, international coverage like this helps build awareness, credibility and support around the programme, both for #TeamKV members and for potential commercial partners.
