2013-2014
Ginetta Scholarship Winner
The big step-up for Jamie followed quite quickly when, in 2012, she won the much-coveted 2013 Ginetta Junior Scholarship, which propelled her onto the big stage, racing sports cars in the Ginetta Junior Series, part of the famed British Touring Car Championship.
2015
Record Breaking British GT
Moving up to senior GT endurance racing in the British GT4 Championship, Jamie won the prestigious British GT4 title in the Beechdean Aston Martin Racing V8 Vantage, alongside team-mate Ross Gunn.

In the same year she was also part of the Silverstone 24 Hour Race winning team, again at the wheel of an AMR V8 Vantage – another first for a female racer – and all before she had even passed her road-going driving test!
