about

Elijah Hazelwood is one of the UK’s most exciting young racing drivers, combining natural talent with maturity, consistency and ambition far beyond his years. What makes Elijah’s journey special is how quickly he has risen. He started karting at Buckmore Park aged just 8, and despite losing vital development time during COVID-19, he returned with determination and focus. In less than three years, he moved from rental karting to Club100 and now races as a front-runner in owner-driver championships across the UK. With multiple wins, podiums and standout performances across national championships, Elijah is chasing a future in single-seaters with the same focus and determination that’s taken him to the front of the grid in karting.

What got you into racing?

Pour moi, c'est Lando Norris et Lewis Hamilton. Lewis est le plus grand champion du monde. Mais aussi parce qu'il a réussi à accéder à la F1 avec un soutien financier limité et que son père a travaillé dur pour soutenir son rêve. Je l'ai également vu gagner sur les épaules de mon père à Silverstone quand j'avais 5 ans ! Lando Norris est également un grand pilote et j'aime sa personnalité et son honnêteté par rapport à ses performances et à ses sentiments.
