A native of Newcastle County Down, Jennifer’s love and involvement for motorsport began at her local circuit Kirkistown, where she worked as a marshal at race and rally events. Over the years, her work as a motorsport marshal took her as far as Brands Hatch in the UK for DTM and the world famous Le Mans 24-hour race in France. Jennifer went on to sample her own taste of on track action in 2007 driving a Formula Vee in Kirkistown, thanks to an initiative by David Sheane of Sheane Cars to encourage new people into the sport. From there, Jennifer has gone from strength to strength re-writing the history books along the way. For 2012, Jennifer has decided to return to the team she began with and join the Formula Sheane Championship with Sheane Cars. Her first outing was in Bishopscourt in Northern Ireland, a circuit which had not seen car racing for over 40 years and is located just a stones-throw from where she grew up. Joining this championship was another milestone for Jennifer, as she became the first lady to race in this super competitive championship.
