Over the following two years Sukhmani tested a Kart in preparation for serious competition in the junior Karting categories. With fields of up to 30 drivers, often much older than Sukhmani, she held her ground to secure several podiums and fastest laps. Fifth in the WMKC consolidated her reputation as a serious contender for the future.
Under the guidance of Matt Shawyer Driver Coaching from 2020, Sukhmani moved from the Bambino Kart Championship to Cadets where she raced for the newly-established Jamie Green Racing team.
In 2022 Sukhmani was promoted to race in the prestigious British Kart Championship, again with Jamie Green. The Championship has produced eminent racing names including current Mercedes F1 driver and race winner, George Russell, former F1 drivers and Sky F1 commentators Anthony Davidson and Paul di Resta, Formula E race winner Oliver Rowland and Le Mans 24 Hours winner Mike Conway.
"When I was six I started watching F1. I saw Lewis Hamilton zoom past other cars, and I wondered if I would get an opportunity just like him. "
"My dad saw this passion so one evening he took me to a local indoor kart track. I loved it from the start. The sensation was unimaginable, it was like an energy I’d never felt before. It made me feel more and more pressured, more and more excited, more and more determined to try and carry on this journey. I didn’t even want to ever get out."
"Working with Sukhmani in her early Bambino Karting and later on in Cadets it was clear to me that she had an abundance of natural raw speed – couple that with her technical understanding and ability to learn will see her progress far in motorsport."
“I’m very pleased to have played a small part and look forward to seeing a talented racer realise her dreams."
