My 2025 testing programme continues. I completed another successful test, this time at Anglesey. This was my first visit to the iconic welsh circuit and I absolutely loved it. I came away with a better understanding of the circuit, having put together some decent laps throughout the day, and have a lot of data and knowledge to learn from. Huge thanks to Ryan Lindsay for working with me as my driver performance coach and to David and Louis from Race Car Consultants for looking after the car. I am now fully focused on the first round of the BRSCC Fiesta Junior Championship at Snetterton.

I am continuing to use my profile to raise awareness of the lifesaving work of Air Ambulance Charity Kent Surrey Sussex (KSS). Along with fellow pupils from Mascalls Academy, I took part in a ‘Wear Red’ day on Friday 7 March. Students were encouraged to wear something red in return for a donation to KSS and together we raised just shy of £300. Nick Turrell, Head of Community Fundraising at KSS said: “We’re so grateful to Thomas and all the students and staff at Mascalls Academy for getting behind Wear Red so enthusiastically. As an independent charity it’s thanks to support like this that we can reach people when they need us most. It costs £56K a day to run our lifesaving service. And most of that is funded by our communities.”

I am delighted to announce that we are continuing our partnership with Integral in 2025. Integral will continue to be our media partner for Thomas Merritt Racing (TMR). They are the agency behind the TMR brand and website and have once again developed the design of my race car for the BRSCC Fiesta Junior Championship. I am so proud that they have chosen to stay with TMR and support me on the next step of my motorsport journey. Huge thanks to Matt Gould and the entire team at Integral — I look forward to working with them and can’t wait to see what we can achieve this season!

Integral is a team of designers, with decades of experience, an eye for detail and a track record of developing successful brands. For further information please visit www.integral.london

The BRSCC Clapham North Winter E-sports Series concluded at Silverstone, with some truly epic racing. Qualifying was incredibly close, and I managed to secure P3. Race 1 and 2 both provided some nail-biting action from start to finish as I battled hard with Matt Kendall, as we tried to hunt down James Dennison. Things were turned on their head in race 3 as it was a top 10 reverse grid with the added bonus of being a very wet race. I had a great start from P8 but as we all came through the kink onto the Wellington Straight, I had to check up and take avoiding action as other cars made contact, this dropped me to P14! From that point I was fully focused and pushed as hard as I could, making my way through the field in treacherous conditions to finish P2 with the fastest lap. It’s been a real pleasure racing for the first time in this series and I would like to thank everyone involved including Scott Woodwiss, who took the time to interview me. Congratulations to James Dennison for taking the Championship!

Fantastic to be back out on track for the first time in 2025! I tested at Snetterton for my first shakedown of my BRSCC Fiesta Junior race car following its winter rebuild. It was a hugely productive and enjoyable day, and I came away with lots of valuable data ahead of the start of the season. Huge thanks to my driver coach, Charles Rainford — working with Charles was an absolute pleasure. I also want to say thank you to Race Car Consultants for all their work preparing the car, which feels absolutely fantastic. Onwards and upwards!
