This weekend, a genuine lifelong dream comes true.

My life has been all about motorsport, I’m incredibly lucky.

Karting > Single Seaters > Prototypes > Driver Coaching > Motorsport Media > (+ something new for 2024).

And it all started because of my Dad.

In fact, that’s where my company name, Driver61, comes from.

He was the original driver of car number 61.

This number has been etched into my memory since childhood, when my Mum, sister, and I supported him across the country.

Despite always wanting to, I've never had the chance to race alongside him.

Until now.

Thanks to the FunCup UK, we're racing in the same car at Oulton Park this weekend.

It’s going to be incredibly fun.

But the biggest challenge will be keeping my Dad in check… he’s more competitive than me. 😉

Hypothetical question... If F1 had no rules, how much faster would they be over a lap?

Let's use the lap record at Spa as the reference:  1:46 .286 (Valtteri Bottas). I'm exploring how the cars would change in our video, out this week!
