What’ s your earliest motorsport memory?

I remember going to the Silverstone Grand Prix when I was aged six with my grandfather, who has now passed away. Two years later, I was given the opportunity by my parents to race in IAME.

What has been your highest high?

Becoming Junior Rotax Vice-Champion in 2024.

What has been your lowest low?

In Junior Rotax, I won three of the five races on the track, but one win disallowed on penalties, losing me the championship by five points.

What is the best opportunity you have had?

Being able to race in Europe and the UK, competing against World Champions of all ages.

What are your aims?

Starting with Ginetta GT Pro, with our new Team SPR and Orion racing next year, I want to progress through British GT and the GT World Challenge to eventually race for a manufacturer in the World Endurance Championship. I am committed to giving 110 per cent to our new team alliance and look forward being on the podium.

Who would you ask for career advice?

Tom Kristensen, because I admire him as a racer. I would like to know what he did to better himself on a day where he was not on the pace, and how and where he would change the car setup or his driving approach to get the most out of the car and himself.

What is your biggest learning from the Academy so far?

That regardless of being on the track, you are a team in the classroom, and we should all pull together to help one another. I have learned how to push yourself to achieve something you have never done before.

How was your season and what was the biggest challenge?

This year I was asked to race for an X30 team, but I could not commit a lot of my time to practice due to my GCSEs. Also, in Rotax we did not have any past data, so we were constantly changing sets ups. As a result, our data was very limited and that impeded our result.
