FULL BIO: Charlotte Traynor
Charlotte Traynor is an American motorsports driver from Indian Hills, Colorado, who carved her own path from go-karts to professional racing with the backing of her aviation-rooted family. Currently competing in the Mazda MX-5 Cup USA series, she represents the determination of grassroots racers climbing the motorsports ladder.
EARLY YEARS
Growing up in a family steeped in aviation tradition, Charlotte found herself drawn to an entirely different kind of machine. With ties to both Phoenix, Arizona and Indian Hills, Colorado, she was raised in an environment where mechanical precision and speed were valued, even if her chosen path into motorsports was considered unusual for the family. Her parents, despite their aviation background, supported her unconventional racing dreams from the beginning.
OTHER INTERESTS
While her racing career takes center stage, details about Charlotte’s interests outside the cockpit remain largely private.
EARLY SUCCESS
Charlotte’s motorsports journey began in the grassroots world of go-kart racing, where she learned the fundamentals of wheel-to-wheel competition. This traditional entry point into racing provided her with the foundation she needed to eventually progress to professional-level competition in Mazda MX-5 Cup cars, representing a significant step up in both speed and competition level.
NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENTS

INSPIRATIONS
The strongest influence in Charlotte’s racing career has been her aviation-rooted family, who provided crucial support for her unusual path into motorsports. Despite coming from a background traditionally focused on flight rather than ground-based racing, her family’s understanding of mechanical precision and the demands of high-speed competition helped bridge the gap to her racing ambitions.
REPUTATION
Charlotte is building her reputation as a determined competitor in the highly competitive Mazda MX-5 Cup series. Her journey from go-karts to professional racing, supported by a family outside the traditional motorsports world, represents the kind of grassroots determination that defines many successful racing careers. As of 2025, she continues to gain experience and develop her skills in one of America’s most competitive spec racing series.
FUTURE GOALS/PLANS
Charlotte continues her campaign in the Mazda MX-5 Cup USA series as of 2025, working to build on her experience and improve her competitive position. Her focus remains on developing her skills in this highly competitive spec racing environment while continuing to establish herself as a serious competitor in American motorsports.
