Overview

Hamish, from Hawick in the Scottish Borders, began racing in 2009 where he took part in selected rounds of the Scottish MINI Cooper Cup. This was enough for the racing bug to bite and 2010 saw a repeat format of his maiden season.

Back in the Scottish MINI Cooper Cup for 2011, this was Hamish’s first full season, securing a top 6 position in the overall standings.

2012 was his fourth year in Scottish MINI’s and brought his first podium and some of his best results to date.

After 4 fun and enjoyable years at Knockhill in the Scottish series Hamish was keen to experience other circuits and signed up to the National MINI Challenge Championship in the Cooper Class with Excelr8.

2013 was a challenging yet exciting season and exceeded expectations and saw Hamish’s most successful season to date where he finished 2nd in class and 2nd overall.

2014 saw a new challenge as Hamish was back in the MINI Challenge with Excelr8 in the more powerful JCW Class.  In the knowledge that the JCW would require some time to get to grips with, the aim was to finish the season in the top 6.  This was achieved with an overall 5th place in the championship standings and positively went into the last round still in the hunt for 2nd overall.

For 2015 Hamish remained in the MINI Challenge JCW Class for a 2nd season.  However, switching to a new one car team supported by IN:MINI and Interceptor Racing this proved to be his most successful campaign to date, finishing 2nd place in the championship standings whilst taking 15 podiums out of a possible 19 including 5 wins.

The 2016 sees another step up for Hamish as he progresses into the Milltek VW Racing Cup with Team HARD. Hamish will be driving the popular VW Golf Mk5 with a Mk6 facelift
