What’ s your earliest motorsport memory?
Going to Buckmore Park when I was seven years old and driving the electric karts. Since then, I have been racing while time and money have allowed – it is a huge commitment as a family!
Your highest high?
Winning the‘ E’ plate and the RMC National Trophy – because I started the final in 12th and raced my way to the front, winning the event and a ticket to compete in the RMC grand finals at Sano in Italy. There have also been lots of other moments that came close – winning the one-off E20 electric Euroseries at PFI; winning two of three heats in Junior Rotax at the RMC Grand Finals in Bahrain in 2023; and winning the Senior Rotax final in the British Kart Championship at Larkhall in 2024 by almost six seconds – which I believe is the biggest winning margin in a‘ dry’ race in the new era.
Your lowest low?
Not taking the top step in Kartmasters Grand Prix is up there – I was second in 2023 and fourth in the Senior Rotax 2025 – and so is losing the opportunity to be RMC Grand Finals Champion in Bahrain, where a turn one incident sent me from 4th to 36th on the first lap of the final.
The best opportunity?
Getting the chance to race in the 2022 CIK FIA Karting World Championship with Kart Republic / Argenti Motorsport thanks to the support of Mercedes’ Ron Meadows. It was an eye opener to the finances required to race at that level of karting.
What are your aims?
To race in GT3 / GT4 cars around Europe and get the chance to demonstrate exactly what I could achieve at that level.
Who would you ask for career advice?
Max Verstappen, to learn how he made the jump from karts to cars. I’ d welcome any opportunity to get onto a junior driver programme, as that seems like a fantastic way to go up through the ranks and with the right guidance and advice.
What is your biggest lesson from the Academy so far?
How important mental and physical resilience and training is in racing. There are lots of highs and the lows and it has taught me how to pick myself up and deal with the lows, because the highs more than make up for it.
