About Chloe

I am 17 years old from Perth, Scotland and this year I am thrilled to be competing in the all-new F1 Academy with ART Grand Prix.

My Background…

I began karting in 2013 when I was 7 years old, although I wasn’t old enough to race. The North of Scotland Kart Club in Golspie, however, would allow me to go out with the cadets for Saturday practice. I then started to compete at the East of Scotland Kart Club in Crail the following year and was awarded their Newcomer award for the season. For the next two years, I continued with cadet racing at the ESKC, finishing 3rd and 2nd in the club championship.

When I turned 11 in 2017 I moved up a class to Minimax and loved the speed of the two-stroke Rotax engine. This was the same year I won the ESKC championship in Minimax non-MSA and was also the Most Improved Minimax Driver of The Year. I stayed in a Minimax for the 2018 season, and we travelled to a few other tracks to gain more experience.

My 2019 Season

During 2019 I competed at all 5 Scottish tracks, as well as visited Cumbria Kart Club where I finished 2nd. I also competed in the ESKC Championship and led from the start of the season in April, had two wins with a few other podium places. I also finished 2nd overall in the NSKC Championship and 3rd in Grampian.

My 2020 Season

Prior to going into lockdown, Knockhill gave me the opportunity to become the youngest driver to gain a Motorsport UK Junior Racing Driver License in Scotland! I learned to drive a car at Knockhill one afternoon, and after a few practice sessions I successfully passed my ARDs test aged 13 – this felt incredible.

Two weeks later, the country went into lockdown and, like everyone, my plans were put on hold. When racing re-started in July, the Scottish Super Series had been cancelled, and my focus became the NKF and CKRC Championships in Rowrah, which I hadn’t competed in before. I finished the NKF Championship in 3rd place, and won the CKRC Championship – I am so proud of this moment.

My 2021 Season

Our plan for 2021 was to pick up where 2020 should have begun and compete in the Ultimate Karting Championship. However, this soon changed when I entered the Junior Saloon Car Championship (JSCC) Scholarship and won! This awarded me a full season’s drive in the JSCC, which was a brilliant championship to take part in for my first year in car racing. The day I won is unforgettable.

2022

This year I competed in the GB4 Championship’s inaugural season with Laser Tools Racing.

Coming into 2022 I knew I wanted to make the move into single-seaters, and with the GB4 Championship being announced, I knew that needed to be my next step. And with the support of Laser Tools Racing, we were able to make this happen.

Completing the season at Donington Park in October, I’m happy to have placed 9th in the overall standings.
