Catie made her European Rally Championship debut in 2016 at the Ypres Rally behind the wheel of a Peugeot 208 VTi R2 for Saintéloc Junior Team. That same year, at the age of 18, Catie won the FIA European Rally Championship Ladies trophy.
Catie continued to claim a series of stage class victories in 2018 and 2019, before securing a place in the new all-electric off-road racing championship Extreme E. for Andretti United alongside teammate Timmy Hansen. In the opening race of the season, the duo excelled as they took second place at the Desert X-Prix in Saudi Arabia before securing their first victory at the Artic X-Prix in Greenland.

Some Facts:
Ladies European Rally Champion, Andretti United Extreme E Driver.
What music do you like to listen to when you drive?
Anything! It depends on the mood - I like classical, pop, and old school like dire straits!
Do you have any mileage that you fancy the most to drive, why this one?
I’d love to drive in America, or ride my Harley along some of the famous routes. Anywhere in the mountains in Europe too!
What is your best tip to drive smart?
Eyes up and think ahead to predict what other drivers will do. Also a tip I learnt a few years ago, if the bins are out - there’s probably a bin lorry around the corner too - this helps predict what’s around the corner on narrow lanes!
Why should anyone join your team?
I’ve experienced how fun driving can be from all angles, rally, road trips, riding my motorbike, learning with IAM - I want to keep the fun and enjoyment of driving, but help to make us all more efficient drivers.
