OTHER INTERESTS

Beyond her racing pursuits, Sore has worked in engineering commitments within the Ginetta Junior Championship, demonstrating her technical knowledge and involvement in the broader motorsport ecosystem. This dual role showcases her understanding of both the driving and mechanical sides of racing—a combination that’s served her well on track.

EARLY SUCCESS

Sore’s breakthrough came during her 2024 rookie season in the Vinyl Detail Fiesta ST150 Challenge with RM Motorsport. Right out of the gate, she stood on the overall podium at the season opener at Brands Hatch, immediately establishing herself as a driver to watch.

Racing alongside teammate Liam Browning, she consistently held her position while showing good pace, proving she could handle the pressure of close tin-top racing where wheel-to-wheel battles are the norm.

REPUTATION

Sore has built a reputation as a driver who delivers consistent results while juggling multiple commitments. Her engineering work in Ginetta Junior hasn’t held her back—if anything, it’s given her an edge in understanding setup and race craft. In the Fiesta ST150 Challenge, she’s known for clean, smart racing, regularly scrapping with the front-runners and proving she belongs in the battle for podium places. Her performance in Dubai at the Formula Woman qualifying event solidified her standing as one of England’s top female racing prospects, finishing second against an international field. She’s not flashy, but she’s reliable—the kind of driver who shows up, does the work, and walks away with points.

FUTURE GOALS/PLANS

Having qualified for the Formula Woman Nations Cup finale scheduled for Dubai Autodrome in May 2025, Sore will be returning to the Middle East to compete against the world’s top female drivers for the championship title[6]. Beyond that event, she’s expected to continue her campaign in the Vinyl Detail Fiesta ST150 Challenge, with the 2025 season finale scheduled for Brands Hatch on October 25-26, 2025[5]. Her dual role as an official test driver for The Trade Centre Formula Woman Team positions her well for future opportunities in GT racing and other high-level categories.
