Where it all began...

Charlie started racing in karts at the age of 8. His interest in motorsport stems from a large family influence, as his Grandfather, Lionel, used to race Frasher Nash cars at Brooklands.

From karting Charlie progressed up the motor racing ladder, and began racing cars in 1995.

For 2010 Charlie has been contesting the Trofeo Abarth 500 GB Championship as well as the Time Attack series, doubling his track efforts for the first time.
