The Next Generation: Luke Browning

"I realised at a very young age that I craved adrenaline and competition. That's what motivated me, and what really is what I wanted to devote my life to. I think I could have been a professional at any sport that really I put my mind to.

"Racing happened very, very late, unlike a lot of go-karters. I was playing football and then switched to racing at 14. I didn't do any European karting and joined the Citroen Saxos. I went from a club route to national level through an eSports competition. I set the fastest lap time on the sim, turned up to the Autosport [Young Driver] Award and got a free test day. I was fastest at the test and then that paid for my season.
