Karting...
Car Racing...
I started karting at 9 years old in the Honda Cadet class, switching to Comer Cadet for my last Cadet year at age 11.
In 2004 I won many trophies including the championship trophy at Dunkeswell for 'Top Cadet Novice'.
In 2005 more trophies were collected including a 1st place, and Championship honours.
Having passed my ARDS test on 28 March 2008 aged 13; I made my car racing debut on 24 May the same year, at the age of 14 years and 17 days, in the 750 Motor Club’s Saxmax Challenge at Pembrey Race Circuit in South Wales. I was one of the youngest drivers to compete in a circuit race and probably THE youngest female ever.
Saxmax is one of only two junior formulae and is for 14-17 year olds, run under MSA regulations and uses largely unmodified Mark 1 Citroen Saxos.
I completed a total of 9 races in the 2008 Saxmax Championship, with my best result being a 5th place at Snetterton at the end of September; finishing 16th overall in the championship.
For 2009 season I am once again competing in the Saxmax Championship but have taken a team drive with Ferguson Motorsport and I hope to finish in the top half of the championship.
In 2010 I became the youngest competitor to race in the Volkswagen Cup at 16 and 15 days.
I am under instruction by Clio Cup front runner Stefan Hodgetts. He is also my mentor at race weekends, helping me improve every aspect of racing at all times.
In 2006 and 2007 I raced in the Minimax class for 11 - 17 year olds with a 125cc Rotax Junior engine with a restrictor fitted.
In 2006 I finished 2nd, 3rd and 4th in three different club championships.
In 2007 I gained one 3rd and one 4th place championship picking up another win.
I progressed into Junior Rotax at age 13, using the same Rotax Junior engine but with no restrictor and for drivers aged 13 - 17.
In 2008 I gained one 4th, one 5th and one 6th in the championship standings. I was also honoured for the second year in a row to receive a nomination for the Shenington Kart Club Lady Driver Of The Year.
So far this year I have had a 4th and 2nd place in the Dunkeswell club meetings of February and March.
After May I decided I would concentrate on my career in Car Racing and retire from Karting.
