My name is Alisha Palmowski. I am an 18 year old female that has a MASSIVE passion for motorsport. In August 2015 I was lucky enough to get my first drive in a kart and I have been racing ever since.
F1 Academy
2025
​
I am delighted to announce that I will be joining the F1 Academy with Red Bull Racing Pepe Jeans Academy Programme supported by Campos Racing for 2025!
This represents an incredible opportunity that I am determined to grasp and gain valuable experience competing outside the UK for the first time and as a support to F1.
​
I am extremely grateful in the trust that Red Bull Racing have placed in me and I will make every effort to establish myself as a consitent front runner in the championship.
GB4 CHAMPIONSHIP
2024
​
For my first season of formula, single seater racing, I joined the GB4 Championship with Elite Motorsport in 2024!
This was extremely exciting to get my first season racing in single seaters underway and it was a natural progression to continue with Elite Motorsport for this next stage in my career.
​
I was able to quickly adapt to the different style of driving needed with 'slicks & wings' and immediately felt comfortable and my confidence quickly grew which allowed me to get straight on the pace.
Pre-season testing was extremely positive with me immediately topping times and gaining valuable experience for the season ahead. My first race was absolutely incredible as I was able to take my debut victory. I went on to become the GB4 Vice Champion.
​
KARTING
2015 - 2021
​
After having my first karting experience in a corporate kart in 2015, I went on to compete in the Daytona Junior InKart Championship at both Manchester and Tamworth during 2016 & 2017, becoming the Manchester Vice Champion in 2017. During this time in 2017 I also began testing in my own 2-stroke kart.
​
In 2018 I made the move up into the BirelART Series UK national championship (2-stroke owner driver), again in the junior category, where I went on to become the Junior Rookie Champion.
​
In 2019 the series became the Daniel Ricciardo Series UK national championship where I went on to become a seeded driver before gaining the title of Junior Vice Champion in 2020 and again in 2021.
GINETTA JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIP
2020 - 2023
​
2020 saw me have my first drive in a race car - a Ginetta Junior G40. This was part of a test day at Blyton Park and I also went on to compete in the 2021 Ginetta Junior Scholarship, finishing in the top 8 and only narrowly missing out on the final few shootout.
​
I again took part in the Ginetta Junior Scholarship in November 2021 and won, beating more than 60 other entrants, to become the 2022 season Scholar. I therefore made my debut and step up to racing a Ginetta Junior G40 race car in the 2022 Ginetta Junior Championship season, and with it also became the 2022 Ginetta Junior Winter Series Vice Champion. 2022 was an absolutely fantastic year and a dream come true offering me the amazing opportunity to race amongst the highest level of junior race car drivers in the country. I continued in this series again in 2023, becoming a consistent front runner whilst developing my race craft further.
