Number of Seasons with Team HARD:

What made you chose Team HARD?

Tony has been trying to get me to join the team for the last 2 years and when I saw the massive support and the family attitude it was clear I would fit in with them.

What are your hopes for the 2019 season?

I’m really looking forward to my first season in the BTCC and the first as a pro racer. Obviously, I want to win but I’m realistic and I would be delighted with some points finishes and good Jack Sears results.

How long have you been racing?

I have only been racing cars for 2 years so it’s going to be a massive learning curve this year but it’s one that I am ready to tackle.

What made you want to become a racing driver?

I’ve always enjoyed watching the racing and thought I’d give it a go a couple of years ago. It turns out that I’m pretty good at it!

What other championships have you raced in?

My first season was in Ginetta grdc+ in which I won the championship in my first season. In 2018 I raced in the Ginetta GT4 Supercup as an amateur and won the AM championship. I was even mixing it with the pros all season long.

What is your favourite track?

I love going to Oulton Park and also racing on the Snetterton 300 circuit in Norfolk. Racing in a FWD car will present a new challenge at these circuits.

What is your favourite car you have driven?

The BMW GT4 car Is fantastic, it’s such a beast.

If you could drive one race car what would it be?

I’d love to drive an LMP1 car at Le Mans. I’m not fussy so any of them will do!
