Many budding racing drivers have grown up playing the Formula 1 game, but one British teenager has turned that dream into a reality. Alisha Palmowski made an immediate impression in single-seaters by winning the GB4 season-opener at Oulton Park in March, and has added two more victories since to remain in title contention with two rounds remaining.
