Oulton Park, I’ve got my work cut out here!
Starting off P11 and finishing P9 with a really good start in race one today, I’m happy with the progress I’ve made from Friday testing - especially on such a technical circuit that I hadn’t visited before this weekend… (1/2)
🫱🏻🫲🏼 I couldn't be more proud to invite Laser Tools Racing on board for another exciting year of racing, this time, with F1 Academy!
It's an honour, one that I am grateful to have. Thank you, guys, for your belief and continued support. 2023 is a special year indeed 💙🏁
The biggest honour. We've had a long relationship together - since I started karting - and I couldn't be happier to now represent the initiative that has helped me so much in my career 🙌🏼
Road license ✔️ Taking BBC cameraman for a spin ✔️ Taking Knockhill's Marketing Manager for a spin ✔️ Who's next? 😅
Thank you, Graeme and Colin, at BBC for this piece.
🚦It’s RACE WEEK!
I’ve enjoyed 3 days of sun, training🥵, swimming, and family time ❤️ before we head into round 2 of F1 Academy at Circuit Ricardo Tormo, Valencia.
Feeling good, rested, and ready to tackle this week after developments made in Austria.

Race 1 🏁 We started in P3 and finished in P4.
Throughout a strong race with consistent pace, I did my best to maintain P3 but didn’t quite have the pace to hold it.
Race 2: 16:10 ⏳

📄🏁 The news is out! I am incredibly excited and honoured to be joining the FIA Girls On Track Rising Stars Programme 💫
Alongside 13 fellow drivers from around the world, we challenge a professional race seat, under the wing of the Ferrari Driver Academy.
Qualifying results for
@f1academy
round 2 at Valencia 🏁 We’ll be starting from P3, P6 & P6 for races 1, 2 & 3.
It’s hot, it’s close, and I can’t wait to get back in the car for races 1 & 2 today and see what we can do 🔥

🫱🏻🫲🏼 I am delighted to join John Clark Motor Group for a second year running! John has made a great impact on Scottish motor racing over the years, and I'm very proud to continue carrying his efforts with me to F1 Academy.
I have had 2 enjoyable days at Brands Hatch in the sunshine as part of the
@LaserRacing
team, supporting
@JakeHillDriver
in BTCC and
@nelsonrking95
in JCW.
Well done to both boys on their performance this weekend, and a huge thank you to Laser Tools Racing for having me💙
Last night was an absolute honour ✨ We were invited to attend the screening of STEWART, which documents Sir Jackie Stewart’s championship winning years and his dedication to making Formula One a safer sport.
Cue the iconic Paul Ricard photos 👀 It’s race week! We head into the penultimate round of the championship in a tougher spot than we would like to be, due to the unfortunate way that Monza panned out. However, we’re here and ready to push 🙌🏼🏁

Testing at Valencia is complete 📈 We had good pace into the afternoon until an electrical issue halted the remainder of the session.
Hopefully we’ll be all set to go for free practice and qualifying tomorrow! 🙌🏼

Over the past 2 days we’ve experimented with setup changes at a very hot Aragón 🔥
Now, I’m off to Paris with the girls where we have sim work to get in ahead of Zandvoort next week! 🏁 It will be race week again after what feels like a long 4 weeks off.

Great weekend spectating at Brands Hatch and Oulton Park 🏁 for the Fanatec GT World Challenge and BSB… Although it feels like we were never away from bikes with the Rossi crowd 😅💛…
2018 - 2022
This man put me in a kart back in 2012, guided me to every chequered flag, removed my pedal extensions when I grew up (pictured here😂), and has supported me at every moment since.
She’s here… and she’s beautiful! 💙 Delighted to say the 2 best looking liveries have hit the ground at Donington Park today 💎
Thanks to
@LaserRacing
and
@GBRTeam_
for the push to get the cars ready inside and out with a tight turnaround.
#WeAreLasersToolsRacing
So many special moments were captured from the weekend 💙
I knew the weekend would be fantastic, having visited the castle, driven my GB4 car up the driveway, and having met Sir Jackie Stewart and Edward Maitland-Carew previously, but it exceeded my expectations.

📰 29th April 2023 | F1 Academy Round 1
📍Red Bull Ring, Spielberg, Austria
The team and I learned a lot at the opening round of F1 Academy, which I believe will help us massively heading to Spain this weekend.
Read the full report here: .
📃 Really excited to have Bonthrone Security Services (BSS) on board for my 2022 season, and bring Ian’s brand into the wider circle of motorsport! 🏁
You can read about our partnership here: .
We started P10 for both races 1 & 2 here at Barcelona, and come away with two 7th positions 🏁
Race 3 kicks off at 11:05 tomorrow. Let’s see what we can do! 👊🏼

A race that could have been… Race 3 here in Valencia brought a poor conclusion to an otherwise good championship round 2.
Crossing the line in P5, we have finished in 12th position following decisions regarding incidents and track infringements…
I have to say a massive thank you to my partners for another brilliant weekend in the GB4 Championship. None of this would be possible without you.
We're back home and preparing for round 4 at Donington Park, where I hope we can bring in more good points and do you all proud 💙
Race 2: P8 🏁 I made up good places from P11 at the beginning of the race, bringing me to P8. With good pace I was closing the gap in front.
Looking forward to race 3 this afternoon, feeling more confident in the car.

Had a brilliant night at the Sunday Mail Young Scot Awards last night 🌟 Very special to be in a room full of people doing amazing things in Scottish communities and beyond 🙌🏼

This kart 💚 It's been good to me!
My 2019 Tonykart drove me to win my first championship, at the East of Scotland Kart Club. Today we got reacquainted at Dundee's Museum of Transport, where it's on display in their Women in Transport exhibition 🛞
I can finally say... it's RACE WEEK! 😁🏁
Snetterton is hosting the first (ever) round of the
@GB4Championship
this weekend.
Having only had 3 test days in the car, I've put a lot of time in on the sim to get to grips with the handling ahead of our first race. I can't wait!
It’s very unfortunate that I’m having to withdraw from the remainder of round 5 of the championship this weekend.
However, I’m glad that I’m ok and no one was hurt 🙏🏼
Video on Instagram 👉🏼 .
Testing, testing 🎤
First time driving Silverstone’s GP circuit is a bit surreal… fantastic track 🇬🇧
I feel I’m starting out well for round 3 here, with coaching from
@JonnyAdam
following our sim session last night. Thanks team! More laps and work to do tomorrow 👊🏼
A special shout out to my amazing partners! 💙
I'm beyond grateful to each and every one of them for making my dream a reality. It means the world to me. I can't wait to hit the track this weekend and see what Oulton Park has in store for us 👊🏼
#WeAreLaserToolsRacing
Discovered some good pace today, starting P11 and making places up to P8, however, a mistake of my own cost me a few positions and I finished where I started.
It was an incredible experience, and I now have the bug for off-roading… it was SO much fun! It was a pleasure & an honour to work with Sir Chris Hoy. You can be my wingman anytime 😎
A huge thank you to Extreme E for this awesome opportunity. I wish I could do it 1000 x over!
It's already race week again! 😆
This week we're headed to Oulton Park, a new circuit for me. It's the Easter Holidays so I have plenty of time to drive Oulton on the home sim and give it my best shot come Friday 👊🏼 and study... of course...
#WeAreLaserToolsRacing
My team, ART Grand Prix and team mates have been fantastic support over the weekend.
Thank you, Laser Tools, John Clark Motor Group, and Kevin Cuthbert for the continued support, making this step possible 🤝🏼

Thank you
@_gordie_mutch_
for your coaching and support last weekend!
I was struggling with certain areas and lacking a bit of confidence, but you really helped me gain that confidence...and 2 seconds! 👀
Also, a massive congratulations on the double win with
@JimmyBroadbent
🏆
It wasn’t the result we were hoping for and it certainly doesn’t reflect the hard work from the team & myself this week.
I’ve learnt a lot this weekend, making steady progress to get up to pace. The changing conditions have also given me a broader understanding of the car.

First GB4 test complete ✔️
We had a great day of running in the car in cold and slightly damp conditions at Silverstone. Lots learnt with a good amount of time in the seat. I can’t wait to get back out already!
Happy birthday to my Angela 💙 Thank you for always being by my side no matter what and being an amazing 2nd mum 😊 Here is to being 21 again!
