Meet Prior’s very own Queen of Speed, Aimee Frame.
Aimee has won a national scholarship to race cars in Atlanta, with the potential at the end of the week to win a paid contract!
Aimee says that she and her family have always followed motor sports, with her sister introducing her to go-karting when she was aged just 15 and she has been hooked ever since, always aspiring to get into car racing, moreover, motorsports.
She says she entered the on-line competition through SIM racing and was one of the top 50 quickest contestants. She then submitted an audition tape to get her through to the final 10, and then after a zoom call with the company, was offered her scholarship!
Aimee is one of 20 competitors from all over the world who have been selected for this amazing opportunity, and will be flying out to Atlanta on 11th May to compete in a series of challenges including gym training, reaction testing, media training, car control and psychological strength.
Throughout the week the group will be judged by professional drivers from Formula 4 and Indy Car, with the overall winner receiving a paid contract to race in the Radical SR1, which goes 0-60 in 3 seconds.
The aim of this competition is to uncover talent and overcome the financial barriers in motorsport.
Aimee is very excited about this chance and says “I have been given this amazing opportunity and to even get here is a huge achievement”.
It really is Aimee! You’re a winner already and we can’t wait to catch up with you again after the event.
Good luck from all of us here at Prior Pursglove College.
