Clifton College British Karting Graduate Makes His Ginetta Debut
Aged just sixteen, Callum becomes one of the youngest drivers to compete in a GT Pro.
Callum joins SVG Motorsport for the Ginetta GT Championship this season, making his car-racing debut in a GT Pro. Under the guidance of racing driver and driver coach Jon Lancaster, Callum will be one of the youngest drivers to compete in the championship.
With a wealth of experience racing behind the wheel, Callum has climbed the ranks through multiple British Karting championships. Most recently he competed in the National Kart Cup series in 2022, running 2nd in the championship. Whilst showing huge potential testing in a Ginetta G56 GTA race car, Callum is focused on making his mark on the GT Championship grid with ambitions on climbing the Ginetta Motorsport ladder.
We asked Callum how he was able to balance this huge achievement alongside his studies:
“The support of the College throughout my competitive karting days has been pivotal to the progression into a fully fledged car racing career, and is something I will be forever grateful for. Being able to catch up on any missed work whilst out on track, with the full support of the teachers and staff, is enabling me to balance my GCSE studies with improving my driving. This, together with an active interest from my tutors and housemaster on how my on-track performances are going, makes for an enjoyable environment, whilst I continue to learn too.”
We are really proud of Callum’s accomplishment and wish him the best of luck!
