My first race at Silverstone.

My First Ever Race Car Weekend At Silverstone!

I still can’t quite believe it - my very first time in a race car, and it happened at the legendary Silverstone Circuit.

The weekend began with testing on Friday, where everything was brand new to me. I spent the day building confidence, lap by lap. By the end of the day, our pace was solid, and I felt ready for what lay ahead.

Saturday started strong - I qualified 3rd in class, a huge step forward in just 24 hours. Then came the race: I lined up 38th overall, surrounded by experienced drivers. When the lights went out, I got a flying start - gaining six positions by the end of Lap 1. Sadly, a red flag ended the race early, but in just a few laps, I proved to myself that I belong out there.

We still came away with a podium finish and I came away more motivated than ever. I’m learning fast, growing with every session, and determined to keep climbing.

This journey is just beginning, and it’s already been unreal - especially with Warner Brothers following us all weekend for a documentary, airing Saturday 31st May at 6:45am on TNT Sports 1, with more showings coming on Discovery+ and TNT Sports 1, 2, 3 and 4.

Be Part of the Story

I’m a 19-year-old driver from a karting background, chasing a dream that once felt out of reach. Every bit of progress I make is thanks to the people supporting this journey - and that’s where you come in.

If you believe in talent, hard work, and underdog stories, I’d be incredibly grateful for your support. Every donation, no matter the size, helps me stay on track, fund race weekends, and keep fighting for results.

Thank you for reading and an even bigger thank you if you choose to be part of this.

Onwards and upwards!
