Driver Biography:
I first started racing in 2021, competing in the Ginetta Juniors Winter Series and then the full season in 2022. I raced in other Ginetta classes as well as Caterhams before I made the step up to into GT4. My best result was P2 on the Silverstone GP, I also achieved other podiums as well as multiple driver of the day and weekend awards. Off track, I studied with the Motorsport UK Academy at Loughborough College for 2 years on a scholarship.
Hopes for this season:
My hopes for this season are to extend my knowledge of different disciplines in the sport, this year – getting used to front wheel drive! Overall I want to enjoy, learn and of course push for podiums!
What does it mean to you to be part of the Wera Alliance Racing Academy?
It’s unbelievable. I am so excited and honoured to have this opportunity and to be part of such incredible team. I can’t wait for the 2026 season to start, I can’t thank the Wera Alliance Racing Academy enough for their support.
Favourite circuit:
My favourite circuit is Donington Park GP, I love the change in elevation as well as the mix of slow and fast corners.
Dream racing car:
My dream racing car is a Classic Mini Cooper! My first ever car was a Mini so to me they have always been special.
Something unusual people won’t know about you?
I am learning to fly!
