I am the first (and only) racing driver in my family. There may be no history of Motorsport in my family, but there is a passion for it inside of me that has brought me to become a racing driver. Motorsport has always inspired me, it has been my dream to be able to experience and be a part of it. I have been completely committed to making my dream become reality and now that I am living my dream there is no way I want it to stop.

After having a great season with Formula Woman in 2007, I have stepped up a level this year to participate in the 2008 Texaco Havoline Ginetta Championship.

The Texaco Havoline Ginetta Championship is the single most popular one make racing series in Britain. The Championship is a one make series with sealed Ford Zetec 1.8 litre engines, sealed gearboxes and differentials. I have been able to continue in a sponsorship partnership with my title sponsor KnowledgeCenter from last year. There are 32 competitors (capped). I find the G20 brilliant to drive and enjoy driving it immensely.

We're very lucky in this Championship because we will be supporting the British GT and Formula 3 Championships. We will get to race on tracks which are rarely open to normal Championships. For example, we will be racing on the Silverstone International Circuit and also the Brands Hatch Grand Prix Circuit - which is only open a few times a year. There are 10 rounds (10 tracks), and 20 races which is considerably more than I raced last year - more than double infact.

I am very excited to be part of this fantastic long-running and well-known Championship. The Ginetta team have been incredibly welcoming and helpful. I am optimistic that, although I am less experienced than a lot of the competitors, I will be able to challenge myself to find new limits. I think it will take hard work and dedicated time in the car to keep up with the field... but I am willing to work to achieve my goals and will want to see a steady progress in my performance throughout the season.
