Why do you love karting?

I’m happiest when in my kart. Anything to do with karting and cars is my Passion. The speed, the adrenaline that comes from it and also the people around me have made my karting experience really enjoyable. I just love the atmosphere when at trackside. This is my 1st season in outdoor Karting so it is all new to me but I cannot wait to progress and learn more and more every time I go out on track.

I am just so proud to be part of my team, it makes me so happy.

One thing for sure, I am determined to succeed.

Have you made any sacrifices?

I haven’t made any sacrifices but my family have made many.

What are your best moments?

Joining the xKart team and getting my 1st kart has been the best thing that has happened to me. Also testing at Rowrah, the track was amazing. I was so happy. I became even more hooked on outdoor karting after spending 2 days there.

What are your worst moments?

Teesside o plate, whilst it was my 1st ever race in outdoor I was very upset when I came last. I tried my hardest but I was up against some amazing competitors. I’m staying positive and hoping I can do a lot better in my 1st season

Do you have an interesting backstory (hardship/struggles/amazing achievements)

I suffer with ADHD, Tourette’s, emotional and behaviour dysregulation and I am also on the spectrum. Even though I have all this going on karting has made me more determined to prove to people no matter what, you can be who and what you want to be if you put your mind to it. #4lettersdonotdefineme
