A GO-KARTING teenager with a passion for speed has been given the chance to drive a bigger and better machine.
Daniel Cook, 15, of Scotton, near Catterick Garrison, has been a keen go-kart racer for a number of years and now hopes to have made it into the bigger league.
Daniel has been approached by car giants Honda to drive one of their single-seater racers when he turns 16 later this month.
Daniel is being sponsored by Jedi Racing and Elite Heat, of Darlington, and will take part in his first race major race for Honda near Leicester in October.
"He'll be racing at Silverstone and all those places with the big boys," said his dad Sam. "It's basically like a little Formula One car. We're delighted."
