Driver Biography:
I started racing pre-war sports cars with my Dad in the Triple M Register and VSCC! After passing my ARDS test at 18, I made my circuit debut the very next day at Goodwood in our 1936 MG PB – and I’ve been hooked ever since! I’ve raced more consistently in the last two seasons, being lucky enough to compete at incredible tracks like Zandvoort. Sharing it all with my Dad makes it even more special. I also love trialling in my MG B, called “Binx”, which inspired me to try a bit of rallying – and in 2025 I was a Rally W finalist at Silverstone Rally School!
Hopes for this season:
For this season, I am focused on continued learning and progression, building confidence, consistency, and racecraft throughout the year. Above all, I want to enjoy the season and be part of a like-minded team both on and off the track!
What does it mean to you to be part of the Wera Alliance Racing Academy?
To be part of the Wera Alliance Racing Academy is a privilege and something I’m extremely proud to be a part of. It provides a supportive environment to learn and grow as a driver, while being part of a motivated group who share the same ambition and passion for racing. I’m very grateful for the opportunity and excited for the season ahead.
Favourite circuit:
Zandvoort!!
Dream racing car:
Porsche 935 K3 or Porsche 917K
Something unusual people won’t know about you?
During the week I’m used to one horsepower (I’m a horse rider) but most weekends I’m behind the wheel of my MG B, “Binx” with a little more power! As a profession, I work as a graphic designer in the music and motorsport industries.
