After 6 long months of anticipation, we finally made it to The Bend to fulfill the prize of winning the Dunlop Destiny Program in 2024!

After loads of preperation on the sim and in real life including trips to Norwell Motorplex and Dixon Race Academy, I felt ready for the challenge!

Started the weekend with a bit of a low, finishing Qualifying in 23rd after making a few mistakes.

This gave me a chance to display my racecraft, and I did just that... moving up 11 spots to finish 12th in Race 1.

Race 2 was looking even better, gaining another 6 spots to be in P6 battling for P5 on the last lap. However, I small mistake with only half a lap remaining dropped me all the way back to 12th. A tough pill to swollow.

Race 3 saw me claw my way back into the top 10, finishing P9 after some big battles!

This gave us 10th overall for the weekend, with the underlying pace for the top 5. It has given me such a big confidence boost and motivation going into 2026. With ample preparation I believe we can be a real threat for the title.

Joining forces with BPRO in 2025 gave us the opportunity to once again fight for wins and ultimately the championship.

A round win in the first round gave us a solid lead at the start of the year and our consistency was mega, rarely finishing off the podium.

Unfortunately, some reliability gremlins later in the year dropped us down to 2nd in the final standings. Still super stoked to walk away with many wins and podiums for the year!

As an added bonus, we also got the Lap Record at Bathurst for the Excels while competing their as a support category for the Bathurst 6-Hour.

In 2024 we were selected along with 5 of the best Excel drivers in Australia for the "Dunlop Destiny Program".
What a privilege to have been chosen amongst such a great and talented group of drivers.

It was an incredible day out at Norwell Motorplex, learning so much from the best of the best, and I will admit I am still a bit sore from Guy Andrews' workout but I digress.

After a huge day of testing our skills on and off the track the judges picked me as the winner!

Thanks to Dunlop and CERA I get an all-included arrive-and-drive deal to race in the final round of the Toyota Gazoo Australia Scholarship Series at The Bend!

When setting out on the 2023 Season, we had one main goal... to win the first ever national excel championship. AND WE DID!

With the season starting later in the year, I was well in the groove and came out swinging claiming my first-ever win in round 1!

This pattern continued into Round 2 at SMP. After 2 wins on the trot, I made a mistake that cost me dearly and dropped me down to last where I eventually gained 12 spots in 1 lap to finish 12th

This meant that going into the last round I was tied in the championship lead with Jaylyn Robotham.

After an absolute dogfight of a last round, and some of the best racing I have seen, let alone raced! I beat Jaylyn to the line by .095 of a second to claim the championship!

I was still finding my feet at the start of Season 2023, having only just started racing mid-way through 22', everything was still very fresh.

However, as the season progressed I began to claw back the gap in the championship. Giving it my all in the final round, just narrowly missing the clean sweep.

2nd place is an amazing effort considering our lackluster start to the season, super cool to be fighting for the championship in my first full season!
