Currently Racing: BRSCC Mighty Mini Championship

Race Car: Rover Mini Cooper 1300

Racing Experience: I raced in junior Ministox on the ovals when I was 15-17 then after a long break made a comeback in Brisca F2 stock cars in 2006 before starting on the circuits in Mighty Minis in 2007, in my first ever circuit race I qualified 4th on the grid and finished 8th and I won the Ladies Championship in my first year, and have again retained the Ladies title in 2008. Favourite Circuits: Brands, Mallory, Oulton.

Sponsors: without whom I couldn't race - Richard Egger Insurance, Polleysport, Muc-Off, Gamble Plant, SD Bodyworks, Minimail.

Why did you start: I come from a racing family, my Dad George Polley has been Hot Rod World Champion twice and won everything there is to win in Oval Racing and has also been successful at rallying and on the circuits in a historic Anglia, both my brothers race so naturally I wanted a go and I loved it. Achievements: 40 trophies from podium places in Ministox 5th in Ministox British Championship 1993 2007 Mighty Minis Ladies Champion 2008 Mighty Minis Ladies Champion 5 top 10 finishes in first 2 years Qualified on Pole Position at Mallory I race for a team with 5 other international drivers in different championships supporting the cause Youth 4 Human Rights, to promote human rights awareness through motorsport.

Aspirations: For 2009 I am aiming to win the Ladies Championship for a third consecutive year as that has never been done before, and to get some podium finishes outright. I love Mighty Minis it's a great Championship to be in and intend on progressing to the higher class 'Super Mighty Minis' but if the opportunity arose I would love to do the Clio Cup or BMW Mini Challenge.

Other Interests: Gym, ice-skating, interior design, travelling, drinking wine with my girlfriends and if Im not racing myself I will be at a track somewhere supporting my brother and boyfriend in their F2 stock cars.
