| | Q & A | What originally got you involved in motorsport?
I first got in a kart on a family holiday and immediately loved it when I was 13. However motorsport has been in my blood as my dad used to race and then he ran the ''McLaren Mercedes Champions of the Future'' British Karting Championship.
In your profile it says Cadwell Park is one of your favourite tracks, why is that?
Cadwell has so much character to it and it is a really long lap so there are lots of different aspects to it. As a driver it is very demanding but at the same time it is very rewarding to drive as getting the perfect lap is quite hard so it is great when I do.
At university you are studying Psychology and Sports Studies, does it help you at all with your racing?
I think this course is perfect for me and my racing as it touches upon so many different aspects that effect racing drivers such as sports disciplines that effect performance and also mental toughness, and ultimately I think sports psychology is key to gaining great results.
How do you find being a female in a male dominated world?
I think it’s great, I don’t think it hinders me at all I am just as able as any male driver out there so it is good to show the boys what I am made of. Of course I do put my feminine touches into the racing by adding a splash of pink in places!
What do you enjoy doing away from the race track?
Spending time and being around my friends is really important to me. I also like to get my nails and hair done and to go shopping. Cycling has become a favourite pass time of mine to and I intend to complete some prestigious bike rides again this year.
What are your top 3 ‘likes’?
Shoes, nail varnish and the colour pink.
What are your top 3 dislikes?
Feathers, selfishness, wind.
