12 year oldCharlie’s love of racing started when he first drove “solo” at Adrian Valles Kart centre in Moraira, Costa Blanca in 2017 when he was 6 years old.  When he lived in Spain, AV Kart centre was a regular place to visit with his former rally driver Dad.  On returning to the UK, Charlie became interested in anything with an engine, so started motor-cross and still enjoys getting out and dirty with his friends on his MX bike when time permits. 

When he started secondary school, Charlie saw an opportunity to get involved with his school’s Greenpower team; which designs, constructs and races an electric car at race tracks across the country.  In 2023 his team came 12^th at the InternationalF24 Finals at Goodwood.

Having experienced a form of racing, and having driven some local indoor and outdoor kart tracks during 2023, Charlie and his family decided that 2024 would be his rookie season competing in a national karting championship and, having researched the options available, Charlie is signed up to compete in the Daniel Ricciardo Series.  He gained his Super KX License in November 2023 and will earn his ARKS in 2024.
