What is your earliest motorsport memory?
Being sat for the first time in a Bambino kart – in our kitchen at home! My dad surprised me with it, and I was wearing overalls my uncle( former DTM driver Jamie Green) had bought me and I couldn’ t wait to have a go properly on track.
Your highest high?
Winning the Ginetta Junior Scholarship, because it was a life changing moment. This is closely followed by two others – wining the Kartmasters Grand Prix last year and getting a clean sweep of all three Ginetta Junior race wins at Croft.
Your lowest low?
During my karting season in 2022 I had a long period with some tough results and barely any positives. I also had a huge growth spurt that year which didn’ t help. It got so bad I felt like giving up at times but I’ m glad I stuck at it and worked hard to figure things out with the support of my family and the race teams around me.
The best opportunity?
The Ginetta Junior Scholarship was a game changer for me. It allowed me to make the step into cars from karting, which wouldn’ t have been possible without the support of the scholarship. It allowed me to show what I could do, get recognition for my efforts and results to be able to make the next step into single seaters, which is a dream come true. I will be forever grateful to Ginetta for choosing me.
What are your aims?
To keep learning, keep improving and hopefully build a career earning a living as a driver. Hopefully, those who have supported me through my journey will also get the satisfaction that their support has been rewarded.
Who would you ask for career advice?
I have learned a lot from speaking to people when racing and testing – team managers, driver coaches, engineers, mechanics, other drivers. It’ s great to take advice from different people and I always try to do that. My dad and uncle are also both from racing backgrounds and their advice has been invaluable to me.
What is your biggest lesson from the Academy so far?
The Academy gives you an all-round bigger picture of the motorsport world, beyond just being a driver and it has helped me to prepare myself as an athlete as well as a driver.
