Perth racer Chloe Grant has been hailed the British Women’s Racing Driver Club’s Kart Sport Champion for 2020.

The Perth High School pupil is thrilled to be awarded the prestigiou­s national UK award, which spans all the age groups for girls and women competing in kart racing.

“It’s fantastic to get this award,” said Chloe (14), who took up the sport when she was seven.

“Normally it is presented at the annual Autosport Internatio­nal Show in Birmingham.

“But it was still a huge thrill when the trophy was delivered to the house.”

In a motorsport season curtailed by the pandemic lockdown, Chloe also won the Junior Club Championsh­ip at the Cumbria Kart Racing Club in July.

Building on the success of 2019, she was competing in Junior Rotax in a Tonykart with Cannon Motorsport.

Chloe, who is backed by Chiropract­ic Life Perth, Gary Buist Commercial­s and Bannerman’s Colour Studio, also posted a third-place finish in the Northern Karting Federation Championsh­ip.
