Early life:
Tom was born in London in 2010 and spent his first few years of life in a tower block flat. at the age of 3, Tom and his family moved to the countryside for a better life. his first taste of motorsport was at 9 years old at a friend’s go karting birthday party. Tom enjoyed the party but the motorsport world didn’t get a hold of him until a couple years later during lockdown when he decided he wanted to give karting another go, this time he found it thrilling, so he went again, and again, and again, until he was getting quicker and quicker and eventually after realising his potential, he decided that racing was what he wanted to do. that first time he sat in a go kart at a birthday party lit a spark in him, and that spark later erupted into a fire that fuels his passion.
current life:
Tom is now thriving in the countryside with his family and his dog, unsure of what is to come for him in 2025. he has some GT experience already under his belt and is now seeking for the opportunity to test in a formula car and is actively seeking for sponsorship. he has completed 2 competitive seasons of Karting and has now left the Karting scene for single seaters.
