With my first ever word being
'car' I if I was honest with myself I think it was obvious what I
should be doing! That signalled a life long obsession with all
things cars and particularly motorsport.
I have been participating in
trackdays for the last four years and for the last year have
worked for BookaTrack.com
in various roles. Since gaining a reputation for being quick on
track from fellow trackday peopIe I have moved ever closer
to realising my goal of racing professionally.
As well as trackdays I am also a
'serial' modifier, though very much in terms of performance rather
than cosmetics. I have always believed in changing parts to enable
you and the car to go faster, so definately 'go' rather than
'show'. I guess from this constant playing with my own cars I have
essentially self-taught my mechanical knowledge to an advanced
level. I built my first engine when I was 21 and have since built
a few cars in their entirety. Of late I have been learning about
chassis setups and have been recently working for BLiNK
Motorsport completing full geommetry setups on the Lotus Elise
and the 340R.
In January 2003 I applied to enter
the Formula Woman competition and attended an assessment at
Cadwell Park. 10,000 entered and 2400 of us attended assessment
days at circuits around the UK. I was shortlisted for the top 50
and undertook the week long elimination camp whereby I made the
selection for the final 16 drivers in the inaugural Formula Woman
Championship.
