Backing the next generation of local talent
At Brackenwood, we believe in supporting local talent and investing in the next generation. We are proud to sponsor Tom Crawley, a young racing driver from Basingstoke.
As a local, family run business, we back people who show dedication, discipline and ambition. Tom represents everything we stand for: hard work, consistency and a drive to improve.
Tom began karting in 2024 after a Christmas gift session quickly revealed natural ability. Within two months, he reached the highest level in the TeamSport Race Series. Since then, his progression has been rapid, matched by his pace on track. Away from racing, his focus is just as strong, following Formula One and studying the technical side of the sport.
In his first competitive season, he secured a 7th place finish at the British Indoor Karting Championship. By 2025, he had moved into outdoor karting and established himself as a front-runner.
Tom has now stepped up into Junior karting, a significant move with faster karts and tougher competition. He has already made an immediate impact, winning his first Grid Series race of the season, taking pole position and fastest lap.
Despite only starting competitive racing in late 2024, Tom has built an impressive record:
His consistency and ability to perform under pressure set him apart.
“I want to keep improving and prove myself in junior karts. It is a big step up, but I am focused on adapting quickly and becoming one of the fastest drivers in the category. Long term, I would like a career in motorsport. Formula One would be the goal, but I am also interested in the technical side of the sport.”
“I love the speed and the focus. When I am on track, it is just me, the kart and the race.”
