Touring racing // British
I am mad on motorsport. I have raced in various race series from short ovals to circuits and my aspirations are firmly set on the race track.
Ashley Gregory is a talented British motorsports racer who has built an impressive career from a very young age, accumulating over 150 trophies and establishing herself as a formidable competitor in the MINI Challenge series.
EARLY YEARS
Ashley’s passion for racing ignited at just 7 years old when she started creating her own tracks with a quad bike and cones. At 10 years old, in 2015, her racing journey officially began when her father purchased a Junior Ministox for her, allowing her to compete against drivers up to 16 years of age. Despite rolling her car in only her third race, Gregory showed remarkable resilience that would define her racing career.
EARLY SUCCESS
Between 2015 and 2019, Ashley dominated the Junior Ministox series, becoming a three-time overall champion. Her transition to the Junior Saloon Car Championship showed her growing talent as she consistently secured podium finishes. A breakthrough came in 2021 with her first JSCC race win at Knockhill along with fastest lap honors. In 2023, Gregory moved up to the Vertu Motors Mini Challenge Trophy, where she continued to impress with rookie class wins and claimed an overall podium finish at Croft, demonstrating exceptional racecraft by leading laps and holding off experienced competitors.
