From indoor karts to international grids

Where it started

Eva was racing from the age of five, first on motorbikes and indoor karts. At seven she moved outdoors into Honda Cadets.

At five her parents set her a challenge: break the lap record at her local indoor track and she’d get a kart of her own. It took her about two weeks. Her first win came at Clay Pigeon Raceway, the same track where her hero Lewis Hamilton won his first race.

Her Cadet years took her to national events including Kartmasters and the British Kart Championship, and she finished Vice Champion at both the Clay Pigeon and Dunkeswell club championships.

First title

In 2023 she stepped up to Intermax, known at the time as Minimax 950, and won the Wessex Championship at Clay Pigeon Raceway while also racing in the UKC, Clay Pigeon, PFi and Whilton Mill championships.

Junior Rotax

2024 brought another step up, into the hugely competitive Junior Rotax class. She took podiums in four of the five races she contested at Clay Pigeon and a podium at her first race at Forest Edge, alongside rounds at Dunkeswell, PFi and in Europe.

Going international

In 2025, her first international year in Junior Rotax, Eva took pole position in Junior MAX at the RMC International Trophy at Le Mans. She was fastest of 68 drivers and the first girl to take pole in the RMCIT Junior class. A month later she finished fourth in the Junior Rotax Grand Prix at Kartmasters, one of the toughest races of the UK season. In September she drove a single-seater for the first time, in a GB4 test with Idola Motorsport at Anglesey.

Senior

2026 is Eva’s first season in Senior karting. She finished 13th overall out of 185 drivers in the Rotax MAX Challenge Euro Trophy, the highest-placed female driver, against fields of up to 110 drivers. In the Champions of the Future Academy UK she finished second in both finals at PFI, setting the fastest lap of the race in the second, and won an Argenti F4 test through the Academy. In September she took pole, won Heat 1 and the Super Heat, and finished third in the final at the Ultimate Karting Championship round at Dunkeswell.
