She will be chasing the Series leader, John McPhee from Oban but will also be keeping a look out for her brother Andrew who is only two places behind in the Championship.

Already the first ever female winner of a National Formula 125 race, Sammi also proudly boasts the fastest 125cc lap of Knockhill for a female rider with a lap time a smidgen over 62 seconds.

Sammi and Andrew both receive the full support of their proud parents, Peter and Ann. Mum Ann stating “we do as much as we can to assist Sammi and Andrew but we are extremely grateful for all the help we get from family members and friends and of course, our sponsors who are brilliant”. Added Ann “This is a crucial weekend for Sammi and we are all looking forward to hopefully closing the gap on the leader”.
