10-year-old Freya Lally is a rising star in karting who made history as the highest-placing racer from the F1 Discover Your Drive programme at the British Indoor Karting Championship.
EARLY YEARS
EARLY SUCCESS
Freya made significant strides in karting through her participation in the F1 Academy Discover Your Drive programme, which has seen a 400% increase in female participation. Her natural talent became evident when she qualified first in the Cadet class during the Regional Finals at her local track in Stockton[1].
NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENTS
- 2024: Qualified 1st during the Regional Finals at her local track in Stockton in the Cadet class (8-11 years old) for the British Indoor Karting Championship (BIKC)[1].
- 2024: Placed 9th overall in the British Indoor Karting Championship (BIKC) National Finals at TeamSport Karting in Warrington[1].
- 2024: Awarded a fully funded season in Club100 for being the highest-placing karter from the F1 Discover Your Drive programme[1].
- 2024: Finished 3rd overall at Daytona Tamworth, overtaking all but the fastest 2 juniors, despite their headstart and faster karts, and was the only cadet on the lead lap[5].
REPUTATION
Lally has established herself as a pioneering young female racer in the karting world. Her top-10 finish in the BIKC National Finals demonstrated her exceptional skill against competitors in her age group. As part of the F1 Discover Your Drive initiative, Freya is helping inspire a new generation of female racers, contributing to the significant increase in girls participating in motorsport championships[1].
FUTURE GOALS/PLANS
Freya will compete in a fully funded season in Club100 in 2025, thanks to her outstanding performance as the highest-placing karter from the F1 Discover Your Drive programme[1].
