Favourite Track

My favourite track that I have raced on has to be Kirkistown in Ireland. I was there with the Classics in a TR8 in 2012. Two of my other favourites are Oulton Park and Castle Combe as I have had some really good results at both in the VAG Trophy. Like most people, I really want to race the famous tracks like Spa and Monza but I am really keen to try German circuits like Hockenheim and Nurburgring.

Most Memorable Achievement

Making my race debut in 2011 just seven months after learning to drive a car – and finishing 13^th out of 15.

First class podium – in TR8 in the Classics in 2012

VAG Trophy in 2014 – coming third in class at Oulton and being the first female ever to win silverware in the series

2016 – first VAG Trophy class win at Snetterton

Perfect day at Casle Combe – pole position, two wins and two fastest laps

Second place in class behind Amy Dziurzynski - we made British motorsport history according to the BWRDC as the first two females to get a 1-2 result in a mixed gender race.

Racing Ambition

I am on the ladder to sportscar and endurance racing. It would be great to get into British GT, or the TT Cup in Germany on the DTM support programme. I want to try 24-hour racing as well. But my main ambition is just to be as good a racing driver as I can be and to improve every time I get in the car
