ABOUT EDWARD
EDWARD'S STORY
Edward began racing in 2012 at the age of 6 where he instantly showed promise, finishing on the podium consistently throughout his first year in Bambino kart racing.
At 9 years old he entered his first UK Championship, competing against 13-year-old drivers with far more experience. The season proved to be an amazing learning curve as two years on at 10 years old Edward secured multiple podiums, finishing 8th overall in the British Championship.
Now driving a full-sized adult kart at the age of 11, Edward went onto consistently finish in the top five throughout the 2018 British Championship achieving 5 podiums to secure 5th in the Championship. Edward concluded his karting career in the European Winter Cup and the Summer Championship, where he finished an impressive 5th overall.
Cadet Karting
In 2021 Edward moved into cars to compete in the Ginetta Junior Championship, the supporting series for the British touring car championship; ending the season in an impressive third position.
Edward continued his progression in 2022 to compete in single seaters, entering the competitive British F4 series, a proven series that supports the development of young drivers in single-seaters. His season ended in impressive style in October as he banked two top-five finishes on the Brands Hatch Grand Prix circuit, his best results of the year.
For 2023, Edward joined the GB3 Championship with Fortec Motorsport, an established single-seater series recognised as a key step towards competing in F1. The 16-year-old had a good learning year in the series, taking a third place in difficult conditions to open the season at Oulton Park.
Edward then followed that up at the season finale with a second place which without the intervention of the Safety Car could have been a win. He also scored a good seventh at the challenging Spa-Francorchamps in June and finished in the top five on four different occasions.
Now back for a second season in the 2024 GB3 Championship, Edward has his eyes set on being right at the front of the field, with the series visiting five contemporary F1 venues, providing further invaluable experience.
THE CHAMPIONSHIP
The GB3 Championship is run by MotorSport Vision's racing arm, MSVR, and comprises 24 races across eight events.
The weekend format typically includes a 20 minute qualifying session and three 20 minute races. Such a format provides exciting racing, the opportunity for drivers to develop overtaking skills.
Every GB3 race is live-streamed on YouTube, the GB3 website and GB3 social media channels, making it incredibly easy for fans, sponsors and friends and family to follow all of the action. The race weekend shows will include pre-race buildups and post-race analysis, and offer followers of each championship more depth and detail, live from the track, than ever before.

Over 55 million people worldwide now live with dementia. Unless something is done to prevent or cure this dreadful disease, one in three people born today will die with dementia. Every three seconds someone is diagnosed with dementia.
Race Against Dementia (RAD) was established by Sir Jackie Stewart, OBE following his wife‘s diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia. Sir Jackie was horrified to discover that there is currently no cure for dementia, a disease which devastates the lives of so many families.
Having always admired Sir Jackie for the success he enjoyed in his racing career - and for doing so whilst dealing with dyslexia, a condition he himself suffers from - Edward will fly the flag for Race Against Dementia during his GB3 programme.
