Tyler Schiraldi is competing in a British Motorcycle Championship – at the age of six.

He will be racing in the FAB AC40 Rookie class. The FAB championship started in 2004 and is the grass-roots event for up-and-coming young British riders who could eventually be racing in the British Superbike championship.

There have been riders who have started out in this championship and ended up racing in the World Series or at Grand Prix level.
