He has now issued a heartfelt plea on social media for any help in finding the stolen karts.

Philippe said: “Dear friends, tonight I am addressing my karting family.

“Last night we were burgled and the unscrupulous thieves made off with nine JB17 Forever chassis.

“Apart from the value of the machines, it is the sentimental value that hurts us.

“If you see any JB17 karts in circulation, please let me know. Thank you in advance.”
