The racing career

Career

From a go kart at five years old to wheel-to-wheel car racing: the career so far, chapter by chapter.

Karting, 2013 – 2025

Early karting, 2013 – 2015

Christian started karting at five years old, in 2013, at Daytona Milton Keynes in the UK. In 2015, at seven, he made the step into professional karting.

It started on rental karts at Daytona Milton Keynes. Christian was five, and 2013 was the first year he drove a kart.

Two years later, in 2015, he stepped up from rental karting into professional competition, at seven years old.

No formal results were kept from this period, so none are listed. The professional karting chapter that follows starts here.

  • 2013: First kart, age 5, at Daytona Milton Keynes
  • 2013 – 2015: Rental karting in the UK
  • 2015: Moves into professional karting, age 7

Professional karting, 2015 – 2025

Seven to seventeen: racing across the UK, Canada, the USA and Spain. Four championship titles, two in each category, plus years of setting up karts and reading the data.

Professional karting began in 2015, when Christian was seven. Over the next decade he raced at circuits in the United Kingdom, Spain, Canada and the United States, against some of the strongest drivers in the sport.

It ran through junior and senior karting and produced four championship titles, two junior and two senior, among them the 2021 Canadian National Karting Championship.

In 2021 and 2022 he also earned ROK Superfinal qualification tickets, the chance to compete at the event in Lonato, Italy.

Between races came the work: preparing karts, making setup changes, analysing data and developing racecraft. It is the same technical grounding he uses today in data and driver performance.

After a Mercedes-AMG GT4 test in California in 2024, the aim became clear: move into cars and become a professional racing driver.

  • 2022: Kartstars Champion

Car racing, 2024 – present

The move from karts to wheel-to-wheel car racing: a first taste of GT machinery in 2024, then a first racing campaign in 2026.

2026: First racing campaign

The first racing campaign in cars. Not a full season, but three race weekends across two championships: the 5Club Mazda MX-5 Cup in a Mazda MX-5 Mk1 with BS Motorsport, and the BRSCC MX-5 SuperCup at Silverstone International.

A year of learning wheel-to-wheel racing, and of gaining experience against full grids.

  • Snetterton

    Snetterton · Round 1 · 43 cars

    Results: Qualifying: P15 of 43; Race 1: P13; Race 2: P15; Race 3: P9

    A field of 43 cars made for a tough debut weekend. After setbacks earlier in the event, Christian bounced back with his strongest drive of the weekend in Race 3, starting 15th and fighting through to P9.

  • Silverstone

    Silverstone · International layout · Round 2 · Home round · 44 cars

    Results: Qualifying: P9 of 44; Race 1: P10; Race 2: P10; Race 3: P10

    A home round on the International Layout against the biggest field of the season. Qualifying P9 of 44 was the standout, followed by three consistent P10 finishes across the weekend.

    It was a tough weekend and I learnt a huge amount from it. Silverstone is home for me, so racing there this weekend meant a lot. We kept the car in one piece and kept developing all the way through the weekend, which is exactly what we needed.

    Results: Qualifying: DNF; Race 1: DNS; Race 2: DNF; Race 3: P8 of 22

    A difficult weekend in the BRSCC MX-5 SuperCup, with challenges in qualifying and the first two races. Race 3 brought a P8 finish and valuable experience of racing in the championship.

The year was about development: learning racecraft against full grids and gaining experience across two championships. P9 from 15th on the grid at Snetterton and qualifying P9 of 44 at home came before a difficult first SuperCup weekend, which finished with P8 in Race 3, the best race result of the year.

2024: First time in a race car

In 2024, at age 16, Christian tested a Mercedes-AMG GT4 in California, his first taste of GT machinery after over a decade in karts.

One lap was all it took to turn an ambition into a clear goal: move into cars, and become a professional racing driver.
