WHO AM I?
Rental Karts
2012-present
I took to the track for the first time at the indoor Xtreme Karting Centre in Edinburgh. As my lap times decreased and my confidence increased, I progressed into a hire kart Junior Championship at Raceland in East Lothian. I have continued to kart regularly and recently have competed with friends in rental kart championships such as the Elite Karting League (EKL) and British Schools Karting Championship (BSKC). In 2014 and 2015, I was one of only 2 females in the UK to reach the final of the BSKC. I now run my school’s go-karting club and enjoy encouraging others into the sport.
Autograss
Summer 2014-2015
Having competed in the prestigious Ginetta Junior Scholarship in 2013, I wanted nothing more than to make the move from rental karts into cars. Eager to get back in the driving seat, we managed to organise a test in a form of grassroots car racing called autograss. I was very thankful that we were then able to purchase my own Nissan Micra to begin competing in mid 2014. I competed in the ‘Junior Saloons Class’ from summer 2014 to summer 2015. After turning 16, I upgraded to a flowery pink Toyota Yaris and took out an adults racing license for the latter half of the season. I chose to obtain a Mens racing license rather than a Ladies license, to allow me to race in ‘Mens Class One’, the most competitive autograss class. I was the youngest competitor and only female in this class in Scotland. At the end of the season, I became the Mens Class One Scottish Vice-Champion 2015. I was also awarded the trophy for the Most Improved Adult Rookie across all classes in Scotland.
Junior Saloon Car Championship
2016
In February 2016 I won the Teenage Cancer Trust Junior Saloon Car Scholarship and graduated into circuit racing as an ambassador of the charity! It was an incredible debut year visiting the UK's most famous race tracks such as Silverstone and Brands Hatch.
Celtic Speed Mini Cooper Cup
2017 Plans
In 2017 I plan to make my debut in Scotland's most competitive saloon car championship - the Mini Cooper Cup. Fiercely competitive and consistently high grid numbers racing the same 2005 Mini Cooper race car.
