About me.

The Person

Born 2003 in Plymouth, currently living in Pitreavie, Dunfermline, Scotland. I am an S4 student at Dunfermline High School who enjoys P.E, Physics and Technologies. I was inspired to take up racing by Cars’ ‘Lightning McQueen’ and a young Lewis Hamilton.

The Car

The Euro NASCAR is a car unlike any other. Relying almost entirely on mechanical grip and its 5 litre V8 pushing out in excess of 400bhp, these cars are able to lap circuits faster than a GT4 Car. A change in regulations this year means there will be even more grip, faster speeds and closer racing.

The Drive

For 2019 I will be part of the Whelen Euro NASCAR series alongside several motorsport superstars including former F1 World Champion Jacques Villeneuve. The calendar takes us all over Europe taking on some of the most famous tracks on the continent. With racing over 2 days there will be plenty of opportunities to push myself and my car to the limit.

The Future

Thanks to my Euro NASCAR drive, the future is now alive with possibilities. I would love the opportunity to race NASCAR in America or try endurance or sports car racing. I could also move into single seaters and pursue the dream of any young racing driver - a chance at making Formula 1. Whatever happens, 2019 is going to be the start of an exciting journey.
