Georgina Dixon

Georgina Dixon is a British monster truck driver who shares the wheel of the legendary Swamp Thing 4×4 with her father, Tony Dixon, proving that crushing cars runs in the family—and that she’s more than capable of holding her own behind the wheel of a 10,000-pound beast.

EARLY YEARS

Growing up in Melksham, Wiltshire, England, Georgina Dixon didn’t exactly have a conventional childhood. While other kids were learning to ride bikes, she was watching her father build and pilot one of Europe’s most dominant monster trucks. Tony Dixon, owner and driver of Swamp Thing, was racking up UK Monster Truck National championships left and right, and Georgina had a front-row seat to all of it. The roar of engines, the smell of burning rubber, and the sight of cars being flattened became her normal. It’s no surprise that she eventually decided she wanted in on the action—though it took a few years before she was tall enough to reach the pedals.

Swamp Thing itself has quite the pedigree. The truck debuted in 2003 and dominated the European monster truck racing scene from 2003 to 2007, claiming multiple championships. Originally built as a Ford F-350, it started life as “Kaptain Insano” for Kreg Christensen’s KCM team before being transformed into the swamp-green machine that would become a UK icon. By the time Georgina was old enough to seriously consider driving, Swamp Thing had already cemented its legacy.

OTHER INTERESTS

When she’s not strapped into a monster truck, Georgina serves as the Head of Media for Swamp Thing 4×4. She runs the team’s YouTube channel, creating videos that give fans an inside look at the world of monster truck racing—everything from maintenance mishaps to father-daughter wheelie competitions. Her content is sharp, engaging, and surprisingly candid, whether she’s documenting a wheel falling off mid-show or walking viewers through what she learned in her first year of driving. It’s clear she has a knack for storytelling and isn’t afraid to show the messy, chaotic side of the sport. The videos aren’t just promotional fluff; they’re genuine, fun, and give the Swamp Thing brand a personality that extends far beyond the arena.

EARLY SUCCESS

Georgina made her official driving debut in 2024 at the second show at Shepton Mallet in South West England, taking the controls of the chrome-bodied Swamp Thing. It was a significant moment—not just for her, but for the legacy of the truck itself. She wasn’t eased into it gently, either. Monster truck driving is physically demanding, mentally exhausting, and unforgiving of mistakes. But she handled it, proving she had the chops to pilot one of the UK’s most well-known machines.

In 2025, Georgina became a full-time driver, sharing seat time with Tony. The truck also debuted a brand-new theme song titled “The Swamp Thing Boom,” marking a new era for the team. Sharing driving duties with her father isn’t just about logistics—it’s about carrying forward a family tradition while carving out her own identity in a sport still heavily dominated by men. And she’s doing it with style, skill, and zero apologies.

NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENTS

• 2024: Made her driving debut at Shepton Mallet, South West England, behind the wheel of Swamp Thing 4×4.
• 2025: Became a full-time driver, sharing the seat with her father Tony Dixon.
• 2025: Participated in the UK Monster Truck Nationals at Santa Pod Raceway.

INSPIRATIONS

It’s hard to imagine Georgina’s biggest inspiration being anyone other than her father, Tony Dixon. He built Swamp Thing from the ground up, turned it into a championship-winning machine, and made monster truck racing a viable career in a country where the sport is still relatively niche. Watching him compete, win, and continuously innovate undoubtedly shaped her own approach to racing. But Georgina isn’t just following in his tire tracks—she’s creating her own path, blending his mechanical expertise and competitive drive with her own media-savvy approach and distinct voice. She’s proof that inspiration doesn’t mean imitation.

REPUTATION

Georgina has quickly built a reputation as someone who’s authentic, skilled, and unafraid to get her hands dirty—literally. Whether she’s cleaning mud off Swamp Thing after a show, fixing damage after a wheel falls off, or going head-to-head with her dad in a wheelie competition, she’s all in. Fans appreciate her transparency and her willingness to share the unglamorous side of the sport. She’s not trying to be a polished, corporate spokesperson; she’s a real person doing a wild job, and that relatability has won her a loyal following. She’s also become a role model for young women interested in motorsports, showing them that you don’t have to fit a certain mold to succeed in a male-dominated field. You just have to be tough, talented, and willing to learn.

FUTURE GOALS/PLANS

As of 2025, Georgina continues to share driving duties with Tony, and the Swamp Thing team shows no signs of slowing down. With her full-time role behind the wheel and her growing presence on social media, she’s positioned to become one of the most recognizable faces in UK monster truck racing. Whether she eventually takes over the operation entirely or continues the partnership with her father, one thing is certain: Swamp Thing 4×4 is in very capable hands. And Georgina Dixon is just getting started.
