🏁 An Update on My Racing Journey 🏁

For the past 15 years, motorsport has been my ultimate passion, My escape, and the place where I’ve poured my heart and soul.

Driving has always been about pushing limits and leaving everything on the track. However, the last two seasons have been incredibly challenging behind the scenes. Unfortunately, I have dealt with broken promises, substandard support, and individuals taking advantage of my investment in this sport. It has been a tough pill to swallow, and I will no longer spend my hard-earned resources to build others up at the expense of my own peace of mind. Moving forward, things are changing.

I am wiping the slate clean, but I know exactly who stands by me. My true loyalties run alongside TnS Racing, and I am proud to align with a team that operates with real integrity. For the remainder of 2026 and heading into 2027,

To the real ones who have always had my back—thank you. The goal remains the same: maximum focus, zero drama, and pure pace. Let's see what the future holds.

🏁 Pembrey – MINI Challenge Clubsport Round 3
📅 20th–21st June

A mixed weekend at Pembrey, but one that showed plenty of determination and resilience from everyone involved.

Qualifying
Unfortunately, a mechanical issue struck immediately when the exhaust came loose on my out lap. I had to return to the pits to rectify the problem, which meant I was unable to complete the qualifying session.

Race 1
Starting from P9, we made a solid getaway and worked our way through the tight and technical Pembrey circuit, gaining several positions. However, on lap 8 the exhaust decided to make another bid for freedom and leave the car once again! Thankfully, the team and Rob Fletcher worked with the team and quickly got to the issue before Race 2. We brought the car home in P7 from 10 starters.

Race 2
Another decent start, but taking the outside line into Turn 1 compromised the exit and dropped us back to P9. From there, we fought hard and recovered to finish P7 from 9 starters.

Race 3
A strong launch saw me dive up the inside of Car #14, only to get caught in a MINI sandwich that caused significant damage to the front passenger-side suspension. The impact knocked the steering geometry out, leaving the car with severe understeer for the remainder of the race. Despite the damage, we managed to bring the car home in P7 from 9 starters.

Weekend Summary
Overall, it was a decent weekend considering the challenges we faced. If I'm honest, Pembrey isn't one of my favourite circuits, but every race weekend is a learning opportunity. We'll take the positives, repair the damage, regroup, and focus on Snetterton in three weeks' time.

This event almost didn't happen, so I owe a huge thank you to everyone who helped get me to the grid.

Special Thanks to:
❤️ My mum – my rock and biggest supporter.

⛽ Fuel Fixer – for continuing to push me and help generate the work needed to fund my racing.

💎 John Wyatt Jewellers – for stepping in at the last minute and helping fund repairs following the Thruxton damage.

🏎️ TnS Racing – for their unwavering support throughout the weekend. Mackenzie, Dillon, Oliver and Richard, Mark Heap – thank you.
👏 And finally, thank you to all the marshals, officials, volunteers and spectators. Without you, none of us would be out there racing and chasing our dreams.

Now it's time to repair, reset and get ready for Snetterton.
See you trackside. 💙🧡

Brands Hatch – 4th & 5th April (Easter Weekend)

A really productive weekend at Brands Hatch with plenty of positives to take away as we kicked off the season.

Qualifying – P8 (1:01.653)
With no prior testing, this was a solid starting point. We know there’s strong pace in the car, and this gives us a great foundation to build on.

Race 1
A fantastic launch off the line, making up multiple positions and running right up at the sharp end early on. The pace and racecraft shown here are a big confidence boost, and it’s clear we’re moving in the right direction.

Race 2
Another strong start, continuing to show consistency and determination. Unfortunately, a technical issue meant we couldn’t continue, but these things are all part of racing and the team is already working hard behind the scenes.

Race 3
With the focus on protecting the car and gathering information, we’ll take what we’ve learned and come back even stronger.
Overall, a weekend full of valuable data and progress. Working closely with Mac on the data has already helped improve key areas like starts and consistency, which we’ll carry forward.

Proud to be part of a hardworking team and great to stay and support teammate Anthony #35 on his debut 👊

Massive thank you to everyone supporting online and those who came to chat trackside—it genuinely means a lot.

We regroup, reset, and look forward to Thruxton on the 16th & 17th May.
