karting championships at 11 years old
Anna Walewska (20) started racing
in karts at eleven. She moved into a saloon car series, T-Cars, at 14.
Anna broke the record of becoming the ‘Youngest female racing driver to
hold a full race license.’ From T-Cars Anna moved up to Britcar driving
a Honda and now a BMW M3.
Anna claimed numerous podium finishes in the Honda which led to her drive
for BMW. The first race in the BMW Anna won and with her consistent performance
she left the series in 3rd position.
In 2006 Anna entered the prestigious 24hour race at Silverstone, she qualified
her MG ZR on pole and the team finished a fine 4th in class.
For her car racing achievements in 05, Anna was awarded the 2005 Driver
of the Year Trophy.
Anna competed in the NKRA (National Kart Racing Association) Championship
along side her car racing. She had two fastest laps, four wins, driver
of the day and numerous podium finishes and was nominated for 2006 Lady
Driver of the Year.
Anna is qualified as an Advanced Fitness Instructor which helps her keep
at the optimal level of fitness for her sport. She is a top Racing Instructor
at Thruxton and Brands Hatch and also works for manufacturers like BMW
on corporate days.
In 2007 Anna is raced in the Britcar championship driving for BMW. Anna
finished 3rd in the Britcar championship and is now testing in British
GTs with a view to race a Dodge Viper in 2008. She has recently set up
a Driver Development business offering instruction in her Lotus elise
on track days for private or corporate use all over the UK.

PRESS RELEASE FEB 08
Anna signs with Geoff Steel Racing
Up and coming driver Anna Walewska has committed to Geoff
Steel Racing for 2008.
Anna will be racing the Production S1 Championship run by the EERC Britcar.
This will be her second full year in the championship and she has big
expectations:
"After finishing 3rd last year I am aiming to win it this year. The car
has undergone a lot of work over the winter and will be out on the 28th
Feb at Silverstone. The team and I have a really good working relationship
and I believe we have developed the car enough for it to be running at
the front this year, we will have to wait and see. PS1 is going to be
very competitive with big grids I can't wait to get stuck in"
Geoff Steel Racing who ran a car in BTCC Touring cars last year will also
be running Michael Symons and Andre D'Cruze in Britcar in a BMW GTR. The
team won the Britcar championship with Simon Leith and Steve Bell again
in a BMW last year and are aiming for a repeat this year both in Britcar
and PS1.
Anna's British GTs plans are still being negotiated, she comments:
"I would love to do GTs this year it would be a good career move for me.
I am talking to teams but of course it is all budget permitting, I have
a major sponsor in the pipeline and am waiting for a response. Fingers
crossed they will back me to do British GTs if not this year next year,
watch this space".
Anna's first race: 22nd March Silverstone
Britcar race dates have been released. You can find them on Anna's new
web site: www.anna-racing.co.uk
