LYDIA WALMSLEY RACING IN THE 2026 PORSCHE SPRINT CHALLENGE
RACING DRIVER, BRAND AMBASSADOR & DRIVING COACH
ABOUT LYDIA
Having started karting at 7 years old, her passion for motorsport grew. Quickly progressing through the ranks, she picked up many trophies along the way - notably winning back to back karting championships in two different classes (Minimax and Junior Rotax) in 2015 and 2016 respectively.
At the age of 14, she began racing on the circuits in the Junior Saloon Car Championship before progressing into senior racing in the Mini Challenge Cooper class where she picked up podiums and race wins before stepping into the JCW Championship which is arguably, the most competitive single make series in the UK.
From there, Lydia made another huge step in her motorsport career where she launched into the world of GT & sports car racing, competing in a Porsche Cayman GT4 car for the very first time in 2025. Despite being an initial learning year (given the stark differences between this high-performance rear-wheel-drive race car and her previous front-wheel-drive machines), Lydia finished her debut season as Vice-Champion in the Clubsport category. Given this initial success, what comes next?
