The Goundry Girls are three sisters who love to race. 2017 is going to be fantastic. Come with us on our journey 🏎��� Background

There’s a first time for everything and this year saw the birth of the first ever all sisters Race Team in the shape of ‘Goundry Girls Racing’.

Sisters Alicia, Tilly and Sienna all race in the Iame Cadet and Junior X30 classes and after discovering that finding three available spaces in a team wasn’t easy, they just decided do setup their own. The girls have really burst onto the national scene this year, Alicia picked up Karting Magazines Female Driver of the Year, with Tilly being nominated and Sienna was the most popular in the Rookie of the Year Award!

About the Team
It comes as a huge surprise that with all three girls racing in their own team there is no previous racing history in the family at all. It all started with Alicia back at the end of 2013 after she saw a friend karting.  Slowly but surely Tilly started then Sienna as soon as she was old enough. The family tried putting the girls into race teams to start with but it became logistically too difficult so that created the birth of the Goundry Girls Team earlier this year. The setup does not look out of place in a national karting paddock at all and with the girl’s recent success there have even been enquiries from other girl racers to join the team, something the team are strongly considering.

Meet The Girls
Alicia
Age – 12
Alicia started in hire karts at Warden Law at the end of 2013. The next year she won the club championship there in Iame Cadet so decided she was ready for the national scene in 2015. She competed in the LGM series with AIM Motorsport before the Goundry Girls Team was made. Her positive attitude helped her improve every time and now she’s a comfortable top 10 finisher at PFI and Shenington club meetings. She also won Female driver of the Year Award in 2015!

2016 – Junior X30, LGM & Super 1

Tilly
Age – 9
Tilly started in January 2014, she was the only one of the sisters who initially took no interest in racing but has since fallen in love with it! In February 2015 she suffered from a nasty accident at PFI where she broke her left ankle in four places, her right Tibia and her thumb. She was in a wheelchair and wasn’t allowed on her feet for ten weeks. She went onto a walking frame in June, but four weeks later she came back to race at Kartmasters where she received a great reception when she crossed the line! Her bravery and determination led her to being nominated for Karting Magazine Female Driver of the Year Award and coming 3rd in the John Surtees U13 Driver Award 2015
2016 – Iame Cadet, LGM & Super 1

Sienna
Age - 8
Sienna started racing in August 2015 and did her ARKS test the day before the LGM round at Rowrah. She then threw herself straight into that event and picked up the novice trophy. She since went onto win Novice trophies at PFI, Shenington and Whilton Mill. Her rapid rise in speed saw her being nominated for the 2015 Rookie of the Year Award where she received the most hits on Facebook with 636 likes. She may be behind in terms of experience on her sisters but she certainly isn’t that far behind when it comes to lap times!
2016 – Iame Cadet, LGM & Super 1
