2024… at no point was it easy & it’s tested character, but I made it through and have become a better person as a result. Couldn’t have done it without my team, sponsors & all my followers for the continuous support. From the bottom of my heart, thankyou 💕

Safe to say I loved every second of yesterday at Thruxton! I've watched the ITV4 coverage of the British Touring Car Championship and it's support races for a really long time so to get the privilege of commentating on two races live yesterday (for a 2nd time) was amazing! 🤯

Gutted doesn’t even come close… 💔
Reached the top 3 from 7th on the grid and then unfortunately 4th gear broke in my gearbox, locked up the fronts and I finished in the gravel 😔
Hoping to catch a break soon 🥺

A weekend to forget at Oulton Park.
Sideways contact from a competitor whilst overtaking around the outside at Turn 3 sent me across the grass, damaging my car and causing me to pit. Disappointed a good overtake ended the way it did and gutted about how Oulton has turned out 😔

(1/2) Action packed day 1 here at Donington Park! 🚗🚗
Qualified P11 on my one and only 'flying lap' after 3 red flags! 🚨 Disappointingly, we were so far up on our last lap time wise before the final red flag which could have propelled us up the field but these things happen!

That was a difficult day 🥲
Qualified a disappointing P15... seems a tow around here is crucial to a quick lap time and they're very hard to come by in a single car team!
Pulled forward to P10 in today's race so that's where we start tomorrow ... looking forward to it 😁🏁
