Rachel, aged 18, has quickly established herself as one of Scotland’s most promising young motorsport talents. Over the past four years she has progressed from starting out in karting to earning a place on the international stage as one of just 18 drivers selected for the 2026 F1 Academy season.
For the upcoming season, Rachel will race with PUMA, piloting a Hitech-operated car as she competes against some of the most exciting young drivers in global motorsport. F1 Academy continues to shine a spotlight on emerging female talent, providing a pathway for drivers to develop and progress through the ranks of professional racing.
The 2026 F1 Academy season begins this weekend in Shanghai, China from 13 to 15 March, where Rachel will start her campaign.
We are incredibly proud to welcome Rachel to Clarkie’s Clan and look forward to supporting her as she continues to develop her racing career.
