SID SMITH
British GB4 Championship Driver 2022 Fiesta Junior Champion
Hi! my name is Sid Smith and i am a seventeen-year-old
upcoming racing driver.
My motorsport journey began at the age of eight when I first tried go-karting. From the moment I sat behind the wheel, I knew that this was the path for me. I progressed into cars and competed in the National Ministox, an Oval Formula, winning five out of the eight races I participated in throughout the year.
However, I always aspired to compete on circuits. In 2020, I was lucky enough to compete in the
Fiesta Junior Championship. Despite the competition being cut short due to the COVID-19
pandemic, I
acquired valuable experience, enhanced my skills and displayed commendable pace.
Moving into 2021, I improved my level of performance and achieved podium finishes, concluding
the
season with a third-place finish in the championship, but I was not yet content with this result
and
aimed to reach my full potential in the coming season.
In 2022, I competed in my final year in the Fiesta Junior Championship and my hard work finally paid off. I earned six wins and thirteen podiums, allowing me to take home the 2022 Fiesta Junior Champion.

This year, I will be joining Team Parker Racing for the 2024 Porsche Carrera Cup GB season
It's a completely new challenge, from what I've done in the past, but I'm working as hard as I can with the team and in my physical training to get ready for the challenge as it’s always been a dream of mine to race GTs.
We wanted to do the Carrera Cup and Team Parker is the best team for that. We have that connection where my dad's done some racing with the team. He knows that they're lovely guys that take racing seriously. I'm starting to get the hang of the car but, as always, there will be a lot of progress to be made throughout the year. I’m really excited to work with the team and see what we can do.
I will also be competing with the team in the Porsche Sprint Challenge Southern Europe, which will boost my time and experience behind the wheel for valuable racing practice ahead of the Carrera Cup GB.
12 race wins
