• FULL BIO: Macie Hitter

   

  Macie Hitter is a rising British motorsport star who has carved a path from karting championships to becoming one of the UK’s most promising young female racers, earning recognition in the FIA Girls on Track Rising Stars program while balancing competitive racing with her goal of reaching Formula 1.

  EARLY YEARS

  Born and raised in Norfolk, England, Macie grew up immersed in motorsport culture thanks to her father’s career as a professional motorbike racer. Her racing journey began remarkably early—at just three years old she was riding a quad bike, progressing to motocross by age six. The defining moment came when she was seven, as her cousin introduced her to karting, instantly sparking a passion that would shape her future. Unlike many young racers, Macie didn’t follow the typical progression through mini classes, instead making the bold move to jump directly into the Junior X30 category after mastering Honda Cadet karting for four years, demonstrating her natural aptitude and fearless approach to racing challenges.

  EARLY SUCCESS

  When Macie officially began her karting career in 2016 at age eight, success came quickly. From her earliest races, she demonstrated exceptional talent by winning trophies and establishing herself as a competitor to watch. Her dominance in junior categories became evident when she claimed the Female Champion Driver title in the HKRC MSA Kimbolton championships for consecutive years in 2018 and 2019. This early period of consistent achievement laid a solid foundation for her career trajectory, providing her with both the confidence and technical skills needed to advance through the highly competitive karting ranks. Despite facing the universal challenge of securing funding—particularly in 2022—her determination never wavered, as she continued testing and racing whenever possible, showcasing the resilience that has become a hallmark of her racing persona.

  REPUTATION

  At just 17, Macie has established herself as one of British motorsport’s brightest female talents, known for combining natural racing ability with unwavering determination. Her selection for the prestigious FIA Girls on Track Rising Stars program in both 2021 and 2022 cemented her status as a standout competitor with international recognition. What particularly distinguishes her career narrative is her resilience—demonstrated clearly in 2022 when, despite funding challenges, she continued to test and compete rather than step away from racing. Competitors and observers alike note her professional approach and mature racing mindset, unusual for someone so young. Industry insiders frequently cite her as a prime example of the emerging generation of female racers who are breaking down traditional barriers in motorsport, with many predicting she has the potential to reach the highest levels of racing if provided with the right opportunities and support.

  FUTURE GOALS/PLANS

  Looking ahead to 2025, Macie plans to make a significant career transition by testing an F4 car at Donington Park with Storm Motorsport, marking her deliberate progression from karting to single-seater racing. This strategic move aligns with her ultimate ambition to compete in Formula 1—a goal she pursues with clear-eyed determination. Her roadmap includes establishing herself in British F4 before advancing through the motorsport ladder toward international competition. Drawing inspiration from racing icons like Lewis Hamilton and Daniel Ricciardo, she’s committed to breaking barriers for women in racing at the highest levels. Current partnerships and development programs are key components of this vision, with each collaboration carefully selected to support her long-term objective of not just competing in, but excelling at Formula 1, where she envisions herself standing on the podium as proof that women belong on motorsport’s biggest stages.
