Simon Palmer
Simon, a former karter himself, found himself back at the tracks when his son, Alfie, expressed an interest in karting.

Since then, Simon has remained dedicated to supporting AIM in its mission. With a penchant for humour and a willingness to pitch in where needed, Simon's involvement with the organisation reflects his cheerful and hands-on approach. The laughter and camaraderie found within the karting community, combined with his commitment to helping others, have solidified Simon's role as a valuable contributor to the AIM community.
