"I started karting at 5 because I loved it. Everything since has been about earning the right to keep going."
Christian Valverde
The Journey
At just five years old, Christian's passion for motorsport began when he first climbed into a go kart at Daytona Milton Keynes in 2013. What started as a fun introduction quickly grew into a genuine love for racing, driven by the speed, competition and challenge of the sport. In 2015, at just seven years old, Christian made the step into professional karting. From there, he began competing at higher levels, developing his skills and gaining valuable experience that would lay the foundations for his career in motorsport.
From the age of seven to seventeen, Christian competed in professional karting, racing against some of the best young drivers across the UK, Canada, the USA and Spain. Over his junior and senior career, he secured 4 championship titles, two in each category. Alongside competing at the highest level, Christian gained valuable experience in developing and setting up go karts, working closely with teams to improve performance. Years of racing, testing and data analysis helped him develop a strong technical understanding of the sport while continuing to grow as a driver.
A defining year in Christian's karting career. He secured the Canadian National Karting Championship and earned his first ROK Superfinal qualification ticket, securing the opportunity to compete for a place on the world stage in Lonato, Italy.
At just 16, Christian took his first step into car racing, travelling to California to test a Mercedes-AMG GT4. After more than a decade of competitive karting, experiencing the power and performance of a GT car was a completely new challenge. The test quickly became a turning point in Christian's career. It sparked his ambition to make the move from karting into cars and, more importantly, set his sights on becoming a professional racing driver.
In 2026, Christian made his long awaited transition into wheel to wheel car racing, competing in the 5Club Mazda MX-5 Cup with BS Motorsport in car #6. His first season of car racing marks a major milestone as he puts years of karting experience into practice on the circuit.
Alongside racing, Christian works as a Data & Performance Assistant at iZone Driver Performance and as an Instructor at Silverstone Circuit, continuing to develop his technical knowledge and experience both behind the wheel and within the motorsport industry.
The goal for 2027 is to step up into a full MSVT Miata Trophy season, building on the experience gained during his first year of car racing. The focus is on continuing to develop as a driver, competing at a higher level and taking another important step towards the ultimate goal of becoming a professional, factory supported GT and endurance racing driver.
