Discover the inspiring story of Vertu Mini Challenge driver, Ashley Gregory. A young racing driver who went from watching stock car races as a child to competing in the TOCA package, topped by the British Touring Car

Championship. Her relentless determination, technical growth, and ability to beat the odds exemplify her passion and perseverance in both life and motorsport.

In this episode:

Ashley shares how her motorsport journey began with simple weekend spectating trips. From the challenges and lessons learned from racing mini stocks at the age of 10 to the importance of resilience

and technical understanding in progressing through the ranks. Ashley provides insight into how to get into the sport starting with obtaining the ARDS license as well as advice on securing sponsorships on a tight budget.

She explains how navigating setbacks like crashes, engine failures, and adapting to new cars and

championships have shaped her as a racer. She explains the role of simulators in modern driver development and her aspirations to compete in JCW and beyond.
