Moving on up...

Hello guys, I'm Nathan Harrison, British-born racing driver living in Oxford. Starting back in 2002 me and my dad Steve used to race at the local karting track in Reading aged six. 

Soon I started to win races but had to wait until the age of eight before I could join the National Championships. At the age of 13 I took my first British Championship, I then went onto being ranked 2nd in Britain and 2nd in Europe, earning myself a ticket for the world finals in Abu Dhabi representing the United Kingdom. After a brilliant time in such a different environment I managed to place myself 6th in the world.

After karting I progressed to Ginetta Juniors and after only having four days in a car I managed to secure 4th place in my first race at Brands Hatch, but due to a struggle in finances I only completed a few rounds of the series.


After two years in the dark, I joined Costal Racing for the MINI Challenge. Turning up to Donington Park I had a goal of finishing in the Top 5 for my first race and after an ecstatic race I managed to come out on top!,Finishing in front was only the start, after 19 races I finished 16 races on the podium converting 10 of those into wins with eight fastest laps. These impressive results led to me taking the 2015 MINI Cooper Championship.

Now in 2016 I am taking the next step up to race the brand new John Cooper Works F56 MINI Coopers. We received the car last week and have only been out for a day's testing at Donington. We are on pace already and are looking to book a few more days before the first race in April. We are here to win and be back-to-back champions! We are still looking for support and if you are interested in teaming up with me in the 2016 season please get in touch!

You can catch me on track in my Military Green MINI Cooper and keep up-to-date with my season via my Facebook page - www.facebook.com/Nathanracing
