2005 Rotax JNR Max

2005 ROTAX JNR MAX Brittany began in the Rotax Junior Max Karting series in 2005. After 6 months of racing, with her height becoming an issue, she moved up to the Senior Max class. Although Brittany’s parents were behind her all the way, they still believed that school was important and insisted that she complete her international school leaving certificate. Because of this, Britt managed to race for three months, but took off the last three months of the year to study. She passed her Cambridge O-levels with four distinctions.

2006 ROTAX DD2
The new gear shift DD-2 class only attracts the top racing drivers from around the country. Britt drove against national and international champions. This was serious racing with the best drivers the sport had to offer. Brittany was one of only two female drivers in the world to drive the DD-2 class because of its extreme physical requirements. Regardless of this, Brittany believes, “If you want to be the best you have to compete against the best.”

Accomplishments:

1st Place NRKC DD2 Championship - 2006

3rd Place Regional (National) DD2 Championship - 2006

2007 DD2
As the new racing season began, Britt moved to the PCR kart racing team. In March she tested a Formula Vee, she knew it was the right time to move onto the main circuit. In October Brittany travelled Lime Rock in Connecticut, USA to compete in the Skip Barber 3-day course. Brittany finished first and qualified for the shoot out in January 2008.


2008
In January 2008, Brittany returned to Sebring in Florida, USA for the final Skip Barber shoot out. Being one of only five females and the only South African was a great accomplishment.

Britt was leading the Formula GTI championship in RSA until her last race when her engine blew pushing her down to 5th place overall.
