Born in the rugged hills of Brecon, Wales, Kate Beavan grew up surrounded by motorsport culture with a rally driver father who instilled in her a passion for racing from an early age.

EARLY YEARS

Growing up in Brecon, Wales, Kate was immersed in the world of motorsport through her father, Gareth Beavan, a seasoned rally driver who competed in events like the RAC Rally. By age five, she was already navigating paddocks at local rallies and handing tools to mechanics. Her first taste of competition came at eight when her father built her a makeshift kart from spare parts, and by ten, she was entering karting events and beating boys twice her age. The Beavan home doubled as a garage, with rally trophies decorating the space, and by 12, Kate had rebuilt a Mini Cooper with her brother Rhys, mastering mechanics before she could legally drive.

EARLY SUCCESS

At 12, Kate entered her first autocross event in a modified Mini. Though she spun out twice, her fearless cornering and analytical approach to racing caught the attention of local competitors. Her father noted her “quiet intensity” and ability to dissect every turn like a seasoned professional, even at a young age. This early foundation in both driving and mechanical understanding set the stage for her later competitive career.

NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENTS

2017: Competed in British GT Championship (GT4 class) driving a Stratton Motorsport Lotus Evora, achieving a best finish of fifth in class at Snetterton[1].
2019: Participated in the Spa Summer Classic, racing a Lotus Cortina in historic touring car events[2].
2021: Entered the St. Mary’s Trophy race at Goodwood Revival in a Mini Cooper, finishing eighth in pro-am classification[3].
2023: Competed in the Historic Touring Car Challenge at Silverstone Classic, driving a Ford Mustang[4].
2023: Secured third place in the GB4 Championship with four podium finishes in her rookie year[5].

REPUTATION

FUTURE GOALS/PLANS

Kate is set to compete in the 2024 F1 Academy season with Prema Racing, with ambitions to advance to the Formula Regional European Championship (FRECA) by 2025. Looking further ahead, she aims to transition to endurance racing, targeting a seat in the FIA World Endurance Championship’s LMGT3 class by 2027. Her long-term vision includes proving adaptability across different racing disciplines while promoting sustainability in motorsport, though these plans depend on securing additional sponsorships to fund her progression beyond F1 Academy.
