Larne schoolboy Jake (8) crowned Irish Minibike Champion
A Larne schoolboy is on track for future sporting success after being crowned Irish Minibike Champion at just eight years of age.
Jake Todd roared to victory as the Irish BamBam Champion and secured an impressive runner‑up finish in the JSM90 British Championship.
The Larne and Inver Primary School pupil was competing in the only minibike championship on the island of Ireland, going head‑to‑head with young riders aged six to ten from both north and south.
Securing the top title in such a competitive field marks a standout achievement for the young rider, who throughout the 2025 season earned a podium place at every round of both the Irish and British championships.
Building on this impressive momentum, Jake is set to take on new challenges in the upcoming season.
He will step up to the 125cc Junior Gearbox class in the Irish Minibike Championship and compete in the Ohalve UK 110 Mini GP cup in the British series.
