Background[]
Chadwick began karting at the age of eleven, and duly secured her fist racing seat in 2013 after winning a scholarship for the Ginetta Junior Championship.[3] Racing alongside her brother, Chadwick would go on to finish tenth in her maiden campaign, before improving to eighth the following season, claiming five podium finishes.[3] In 2015 Chadwick moved into the British GT Championship, partnering Ross Gunn in the GT4 Class.[3]
A Champion's Challenge: 2015 - 2019[]
Chadwick and Gunn would go on to claim the GT4 Championship in British GT, making her the first female and the youngest ever Champion in British GT's history.[3] 2016 saw her remain in British GT, but a bounce between teams and classes meant she did not have a chance to defend her title.[3] She would also debut in the VLN with Aston Martin, claiming a third place finish on her debut.[3]
2017 saw Chadwick retain her partnership with Aston Martin, although she switched her focus to single seaters and the British Formula 3 Championship, finishing ninth.[3] She subsequently made history by becoming the first woman to win a British F3 race during 2018, a result which moved her into eighth in the Championship in her second season.[3] 2018 also saw Chadwick test for NIO in the FIA Formula E Championship, while also open a campaign in the MRF Challenge.[3]
Chadwick once again made history in MRF Challenge, claiming six victories to become the first woman to win the Championship.[3][4] She also competed in three rounds in the F3 Asian Championship, signed as an official junior driver of Aston Martin, and secured a development driver role with the Williams F1 Team.[3][5][6]
