Britain’s youngest racing driver is a four-year-old who can drive a go kart at 34mph before he can read and write.

Little Raef Virdee has only just started school, and is already being tipped to become a future racing star.

Raef takes driving lessons every week at MPH Karting Academy, Solihull, West Mids., watched on by his proud parents Lionel and Armadeep.

The pint-sized speedster got into racing after watching F1 on TV with Lionel, 35.

The property developer said: “I think racing is in our DNA. My dad worked at Jaguar developing engines and I’ve always loved cars.
