Bio
Birthdate = 04/09/1988
Birth Place = Milton Keynes, UK
Current Home Base = Liverpool, UK
Height 5'7"
The home of Annalese, the Merseyside racing
driver with an ambition to become one of the most
successful drivers in the world. Sometimes
extravagant and b old, by combining talen and
confidence she has managed to capture the attention
of numerous teams and fuelled by self belief, sees
herself in leagues with the top drivers of today in
a few years. Amongst racing, Annalease is a modeal
and competes in showjumping, however, her passion
lies with four wheels and an engine. Helping to
campaign for a green fuelled motorsport and
challenging the male dominate world of fast cars
and racing, she is one vbery busy lady.
Who started you = Me! I got offered the
chance to drive a rally car when I was 15 and took
to it straight away. That's where it all
started.
Biggest influence = Definitely Michael
Schumacher and Ayrton Senna. Although I never got
to follow Senna's career when he was alive, reading
his book and watching replays of his driving are a
huge inspiration to me.
Women you admire = Danica Patrick, Susie
Stoddart and Elizabeth Junek.
Father's Thoughts = He is not aware of my
racing career due to his lack of interest.
Your encouragement to others = Don't be
put off by all the boys! The motorsport in the UK
is very welcoming to girls, the people with the
sexist comments often have no involvement in racing
at all.
Results
My racing career started
in Karting Series where my lowest ever finish has
been 5th, with 5 wins and 10 podiums, and rallying
where I've had success too! I'm just starting at
Silverstone/L'boro to do Sports
Performance(Motorsport). Next season, under the
management of a huge sporting celebrity, I will be
competing in Formula Palmer Audi/Renault UK 2008 as
well as a full season in Hungarian Renault Clio
Cup, calendar allowing, following an outing in a
Formula Ford in a Winter Series in 2007. When I'm
not racing, I'm riding my horse that I compete in
Western and showjumping, support Liverpool FC and
looking at getting my jockey(horses) licence! I'm
also a bit loud and crackers apparently, generally
give everyone a headache and have acquired the
nickname Barbie!
