Brooke Kitson’s stock car world-title bid ends after early crash
Brooke Kitson, 18, says a crash and flat tyre cut short her BriSCA F1 world championship race after she qualified as one of two women competing.
Kitson, from March in Cambridgeshire, was one of two women competing at Northampton’s Shaleway track on Saturday. She said she completed about three or four laps of the scheduled 25 before a crash and flat tyre ended her race. Despite the disappointment, she said it was a great event to be part of.
The BBC described Kitson as believed to be the youngest woman to qualify for the BriSCA F1 world championship race. Kitson said she was its youngest-ever female qualifier. She credits her father, Daz Kitson, a two-time BriSCA F2 world champion, with inspiring her to race.
Kitson said she hopes to qualify again next year, while acknowledging that a place in the race is not guaranteed.
