Shelley Wakeling Rallycross Driver

I am now in my eighth season of racing. I started racing in a mini at autograss meetings, which was great fun. I then moved into Rallycross, driving in the Minicross Championships which is a lot faster and more serious still using the same car. Finishing 6th in the Minicross Drivers Association (MDA) Championships in 2004 and 5th in 2005 it became apparent that I needed a better car. For 2006 I had a new car built by the ‘Revivals’ team based near Cambridge and finished 2nd in the Championship and was also named as Driver of the Year by the Rallycross Trust. 2007 was a challenge with a lot of hard races and a few crashes but I managed to WIN the Championship, the first time a Rallycross title has been won by a Girl/Female/Lady. I also race in Belgium & Holland.

2008 sees me out to defend my title over a 10 round series.

I maintain my fitness by running & swimming. I swim competitively locally & for Essex at National events with great success including event wins.
