BRDC Driver

Achievements

My motorsport journey began in 2007 when my dad, a former rally driver, took me to an indoor karting track. I was hooked, and by Christmas, I had my own kart. In 2008 and 2009, I became British Cadet Champion, racing alongside names you’ll now see in F1. I won the Asia Pacific Championship in 2010, and in 2011, I reached the pinnacle of my karting career as World Karting Champion, even sharing the stage at the FIA awards with F1 stars. In 2013, I debuted in the BRDC F4 Championship, winning the Winter Series that year. I raced in various Formula Renault series after that but didn’t complete a full season. After a brief break, I returned in 2016-17 to compete in British GT, driving some amazing cars like Aston Martins, McLarens, and Maseratis. In 2018, I shifted gears, launching my first business and taking over a popcorn factory. Fast forward to today, and we supply major UK retailers with Love Popcorn, the world’s best (obviously!). Racing called me back in 2020, and I finished the Porsche Carrera Cup GB as Rookie Champion and 3rd overall. I focused on the factory in 2021 before making a strong push in 2022, but a crash while leading the championship cut the season short. Now, I’m balancing my passion for racing with running a successful business, always ready for whatever’s next on and off the track!
