Benjy Douglas
Speedworks Motorsport Rising Star – Inspiring the Next Generation
With a focused and professional approach both on and off the track, I’m passionate about helping younger drivers take their first steps in motorsport. From winning karting championships to competing in the BRSCC Fiesta Junior Championship, I’ve built a structured training mindsetone I’d love to share with future racers through coaching and support.
Belgian Roots, European Dreams
Born with Belgian roots, I’ve always felt inspired by drivers like Lando Norris, who share a similar heritage and pathway through junior racing. My goal is to race in Europe within the next three yearscombining strong UK experience with opportunities on international circuits to grow as a complete driver with a global perspective.
Focused on the Future
Over the 2026 season, as a Speedworks Rising Star, I’m focused on success in UK car racing, continuing to climb the grid in the Fiesta Junior Championship and beyond. My ambition is to progress into GT and endurance racing, while committed to mentoring young drivers who share passion and drive to succeed.

Benjy Douglas – the story so far
My racing journey began in 2023, inspired by the Gran Turismo movie. In early 2024, I immersed myself in SIM racing, developing racecraft, discipline, and technical understanding. By June, I moved onto the track in electric karting with the Fat Karting League, finishing Vice Champion by October.
That progression led to selection for the Fiesta Junior Scholarship, followed by a 7th-place overall finish in the BRSCC Winter Clapham North SIM Series. In 2025, I joined the Fiesta Junior grid, became a SIM1 Racing Brand Ambassador, and was selected by Speedworks Motorsport for its Rising Stars programme.
I’m chasing GT and endurance racing — including GT3 and Le Mans — and proving that Pixels to Podium is a real pathway.
