About

Alfie will be taking on a new challenge in the 2024 season, stepping into his first year of car racing. Alfie will be competing in the Ginetta Junior Championship with R Racing in the UK. This will require Alfie to learn plenty of new skills and a different driving style from racing karts. With Alfie only being 13 at the start of this year it will mean he has to miss the first round of the championship but he will be hoping to make up for this missed round through the rest of the year. Along with racing Ginetta, Alfie will continue to do some karting but will just focus on the CIK FIA European races.

Team
R Racing seem to be the perfect fit for Alfie. Having won the last 3 years of the championship they can provide him with the best coaching and equipment for him to compete right at the front. Alfie has already completed some initial test days settling in with everyone at the team and is excited for what this year has in store for him.
