What is your earliest memory of motorsport?

I got my first taste for motorsport when I had my 11th birthday party at a local TeamSport karting track. That lead on to me doing the TeamSport Academy and moving into outdoor karting at Daytona Tamworth and Club100.

What has been the highlight in your career to date?

It would be getting my first overall win at Donnington at the first round of the Mini Challenge this year, after never being in the car before – but quite honestly, every time I race it’ s a high!

What has been the lowest point?

In my first race weekend of the Fiesta ST240 Championship I rolled my car on my first qualifying lap, completely writing the car off. Fortunately, I was medically checked over and given the okay to race the following day, with Jamsport getting me a new car ready to race.

What has been the biggest and best opportunity you have had?

Getting the opportunity to race with Jamsport Racing. Without them I probably wouldn’ t be racing and chasing my dream.

What are your aims and when do you want to get there?

I love racing, I’ m very passionate about and, ultimately, I want to make this my career. My aim is to become a professional racing driver within the next five years.

If you could get career advice from one person in motorsport, who would it be?

Kevin Estre. He’ s a factory driver for Porsche and races all over the world for them. Ultimately, this is a path I would like to try and take to make this my career, and I feel he has heaps of experience and knowledge that I would take onboard and learn from.
