It may sound a little cocky, or maybe arrogant, but I never had any doubt that I couldn't win the event. It really suits my skillset in terms of not just the driving but also what kind of programme and car I could pull together. One of the reasons why I was drawn back to it was when I went there the first year and saw what the event is about. I'm certainly proud – it’s something no Briton has ever done before – but for me, it's about more than that. Money was always tight, and sponsorships were difficult to come by, but we managed to put a small team together, including Robbie (a former BMW tech) and raced when we could – we won races and even a national championship. From there we bought a more powerful car, a Formula Pro-Mazda (the equivalent of a Formula Three car) and entered the West Coast Series. A friend and I bought and entered a car which was basically the equivalent of a Formula Four with a four-cylinder engine and ended up coming second, narrowly missing out on the win to a much more experienced driver. In around 2014, I entered a race called the SCCA Runoffs, which is one big race where all the club racers come together once a year at Laguna Seca and go for the title. From there I stopped racing on four wheels and began alpine ski racing through university.Īfter moving to the States, I discovered I had much more of a disposable income and began to get back into racing fast cars on tracks and realised I was actually pretty good at it. I started racing remote control cars when I was eight years old and when I was in my early teens, I started racing karts with my dad – mainly on local tracks, but we took part in a few national races that we did terribly in! We were keeping it small and focusing on enjoying ourselves rather than spending loads of money. I’ve been exposed to fast cars all my life, so it’s all I’ve ever known! ![]()
