EARLY YEARS

Hepworth began her motorsport journey at the age of seven with quad bikes, eventually progressing to go-karts. Her karting career spanned seven years, during which she developed crucial race craft skills. After success in karting, she transitioned to cars when she turned 19.

In her first year of go-karting, Jem became the rookie champion and later secured the prestigious Wessex Championship title in 2018. She represented the UK in the FIA Women in Motorsport Commission’s “Girls on Track” finals at Le Mans. In 2019, she joined Team Motorsport Woman for the Citroen C1 24 Hours at Silverstone, where she set the fastest laps among her teammates despite being the least experienced, helping the team secure fifth place.

REPUTATION

Jem has established herself as a promising talent in motorsports, particularly in GT racing. Her exceptional pace was demonstrated during her 2024 GT4 European Series debut at Circuit Paul Ricard. At Spa Francorchamps, she further cemented her reputation by leading laps overall in Saturday’s race and finishing fourth while earning recognition as the top rookie. As a RAFA Racing Club ambassador, Hepworth is increasingly recognized as a rising star in European GT4 racing.
