I started Karting when I was 7 years old, and racing when I turned 8 years old.
I started racing at my local kart track, Rye House, Hertfordshire. This track is often viewed as one of the original historic tracks which has seen legends like Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button race at.
As we got more involved and started getting better, we started going further-a-field to tracks such as Kimbolton, Whilton Mill and Red Lodge. I came 6th in the 2020 Whilton Mill Club Championship, and 3rd in the 2020 Red Lodge Club Championship.
In 2021 I competed in a National Kart Championship, The BKC. We travelled to kart tracks all over the country and I won the Honda Cadet Championship! We also took part in 2 rounds of the British Kart Championships, which is at the pinnacle of kart racing in the UK and is the most competitive.
In 2022 I took part in the BKC again to try to defend my title but we wanted to also compete in The British Kart Championships and see where we could place out of the very best drivers in the UK. It was a close finish in the BKC, I came 2nd in the championship and in the British Kart Championships I finished 16th.
The UK kart classes for 12 year-olds changed for 2023 and it was a catalyst for the move into cars.
I took part in the Jamsport Racing Scholarship event in the Fiesta Junior race car. I did very well considering I had not driven a car on a track or over the speed of about 35 mph before. This was such a big step up for me but I really enjoyed it and wanted more!
I also entered the JSCC Scholarship event in the Citroen Saxo.
I've also had numerous track days with one-to-one tuition from Jeakins Race Preparation and Jamsport.
I will be competing in Saloon Car racing in 2024 either in the JSCC Citroen Saxo Championship or the BRSCC Junior Ford Fiesta Championship. These Championship races will take part at major race tracks around the Uk such as Brands Hatch, Silverstone, Snetterton, Thruxton etc and most of the time the races will be streamed live to a wide audience.
