2024 review

2024 has definitely ended on a high for me!

From racing in open sessions at indoor circuits for most of the year, I came back in September to racing outdoors at my home track in Milton Keynes.     This was my first ever full championship.  I didn't really know any of the other drivers but I knew that this championship always attracts talent, so I'd have my work cut out to compete.

It didn't start off very well, with me retiring in R1 due to illness but from R2 onwards, I steadily improved and grew in confidence.  I found myself challenging for, and getting podiums in the A-final, which was always my target.    To finish the championship overall P3 was fantastic!

I also participated in my first team endurance race with Oli & Tom.   Bringing team tactics into the racing just took the whole experience to another level of fun and for us newbies to bring home P3 out of a class field of 27 was pretty amazing!  

2025 will hopefully see me move away from karts to progress my dream of racing cars.   I'm participating in the JSCC scholarship in February in the hope of winning a  seat for the 2025 race season.     It's a big ask but I'll give it everything!

I wouldn't be able to do any of this though without the support of my family, my sponsors Camuri Ltd and @themgroup, and everyone who supports me on @wearesponsordriven.     Thank you all so much for believing in me.  

Thank you also to everyone who follows on social media.    It's great to share my journey with you.

Thank you also to the circuit teams at @teamsportkarting and @daytonamsport for organising our racing. 👏👏

Overall though, what's meant the most to me this year are the new friendships I've made with many of the other drivers and their families.     The racing has been fun, hard but fair and the paddock has been a real laugh even when it was chucking it down... Which it was, pretty much all the time we raced!  Thank you all for the fun times in '24 and I hope you all have an amazing 2025 💪💪
