Pursuing Performance: My Motorsport Journey" Motorsport has been in my blood from the very beginning. I grew up immersed in the sport—my father raced stock cars on grass track ovals, and from a young age I was captivated. After school, I would sit behind the wheel and imagine myself racing. My father also worked as a recovery driver at Brands Hatch, supporting major events such as BTCC, F1, and endurance races. Many of my childhood Sundays were spent trackside at Brands Hatch or at short-oval events near Eastbourne, where the excitement of racing left a lasting impression. Naturally, I dreamt of becoming a racing driver myself. My parents instilled a strong work ethic: they told me, "If you save and work hard, it can happen." Life took its course—I left school, entered the workforce, and then joined the British Army as an HGV driver in 1999. My military service allowed me to travel and develop key attributes that have shaped my approach to motorsport today: discipline, determination, and resilience. After completing my service in 2002, I remained focused on my racing ambition. I worked and saved diligently, eventually earning my racing license through an intensive programme at Silverstone, where I achieved two podiums during my licensing races—an early taste of competitive success. My formal racing career began in 2007, and since then I’ve competed across a wide range of disciplines: Toyota MR2 Cup — multiple strong results. Production BMW & Toyota Tyres Saloon Championships — class wins, podiums, and competitive finishes at Brands Hatch and Lydden Hill. Britcar & Lotus Cup appearances in 2012. Pickup Truck Racing (British Truck support series) — Rookie race wins. Extensive experience in endurance karting, including: Representing a team in the prestigious Le Mans 24-hour kart race, with two 4th-place finishes and one 5th-place. Competing in the Buckmore Park Endurance Championship for three years. In parallel with racing, I developed my skills further by becoming a qualified racing instructor, working with several driving organisations and supporting the Brands Hatch driver programme prior to the pandemic. While my path has been anything but linear—marked by periods of saving and self-funding, and challenges with sponsorship—my passion for motorsport has never faded. I continue to attend races, remain fully engaged with the motorsport community, and remain as driven as ever to compete and progress. Why Invest in My Journey? I bring authentic passion, proven racecraft, and an unmatched work ethic. I have demonstrated success across multiple disciplines, often against the odds. My background as both a racer and instructor gives me a broad understanding of vehicle dynamics and race strategy. I represent the values that corporate partners seek: resilience, professionalism, integrity, and adaptability. With the right backing, I am ready to take the next step in my motorsport career and compete at a higher level. I invite corporate partners to join me on this journey—to be part of a story of determination, loyalty, and a lifelong pursuit of performance.
