A really positive weekend at my home circuit of Brands Hatch for the first round of the BRSCC Fiesta Junior Championship. I qualified fourth on Saturday and managed to secure top five positions in all three races — twice finishing fourth in the Mk7 Class and securing fifth in the final race of the weekend. I also set the fastest lap in race 3 (within my class). There was plenty of close, hard-fought racing and I loved every second. Huge thanks to the entire team at Race Car Consultants for all their hard work over the weekend. I cannot wait for the next round at Snetterton.

I am really proud to announce a new collaboration with Air Ambulance Charity Kent Surrey Sussex (KSS). Together we hope to boost awareness of the dangers of speeding on public roads and promote safer driving to help save lives. This charity is very close to my heart as in 1998 they saved my Nan’s life by airlifting her to hospital, following a serious accident. I am thrilled to be able to use my platform to raise awareness of KSS and the lifesaving work that they do. Many thanks to the team for hosting me and my family at their Redhill base — I’m excited to see what we can do together in the year ahead and look forward to working with them.

A fantastic way to spend Easter Saturday, testing with Race Car Consultants, at Brands Hatch. I made continuous improvements throughout the day and was pleased with my pace, around the iconic Indy Circuit. Thank you to Ryan Lindsay for your expert coaching and support. I will be back at Brands on the 12-14 April for the opening round of the BRSCC Fiesta Junior Championship.

My first ever race weekend in a car. A really strong qualifying performance finishing in P6. Due to a car failure in race 1 and an incident in race 2, I came away a little frustrated, however, there are huge positives to take away and I will come back stronger for the first round of the Championship at Brands Hatch.

I have unveiled my Mk7 Fiesta for the 2024 BRSCC Fiesta Junior Championship. This fantastic livery incorporates a forward-facing arrow which highlights our goal to keep moving forward as a team. Thank you to Race Car Consultants for preparing the car and for running me this season. A big thank you to my media partner Integral London for designing this incredible livery. I am also thrilled to announce a new and exciting collaboration with Air Ambulance Charity Kent Surrey Sussex (KSS). Further announcements on this to follow.
