A seven-year-old boy from High Wycombe will appear in an Amazon Prime documentary next year.

Ralph Martin will be included in the ‘Driven Dreams’ series which looks at the next generation of young drivers.

The youngster has been described as a ‘natural talent’ in the karting world by several coaches, with the child being ranked as one of the best of his kind within his age group.

Speaking to the Free Press, Ralph’s mum, Kirsty, said: “We went on holiday to Spain where he would go on the car tracks.

“One of the guys there said he was a ‘natural talent’ and that he’d never seen anyone that young drive so well.

“We didn’t think of it but my husband looked into the electric karting group where he had a test day, and he went from strength to strength.

“He started at the back of the grid but eight months later, he’s now winning trophies in his competitions.

“We got an email about the younger drivers in the electric scene as they’re trying to promote it.

“They asked if we could send a video of Ralph to them which we did, they came back and said that they wanted to have an interview with him in London which we did and it’s been brilliant.”

“I’m very proud of him.”

As time went on, Ralph joined mid-season in the BKC (the Bambino Kart Championship) which saw his results shine.

He won the top novice prize before earning a place on the podium.

His dad, Stewart, added: "As Ralph grew older (and thanks to Covid!) we had some time on our hands and researched the options available to us, this is where we found the kart series known as Total Karting Zero.

"An electric series that arrived and drive, this involves little initial investment but gives the opportunity to explore electric bambino karting.

"We attended their advance licence day and Ralph was awarded the licence to be allowed in their championship.

"Although we enjoyed it, ultimately we decided it wasn’t for us so we furthered our research and found an alternative option whereby we could purchase our own kit, practise where and when we liked and compete in two championships.

"This is where the fun began."
