Jodie Sloss has traded a croft in Oban for the Aston Martin academy via a Facebook advert and a Ford Fiesta. This is her remarkable story.
A remote Scottish croft, a Facebook advert and a banged-up Ford Fiesta. This is the foundation for Jodie Sloss' Aston Martin academy dream.
Against the odds, she beat 1,000 drivers from all over the world in an ice-driving shootout to become the first Scot to win the competition. The prize? To race a McLaren 570s in the GT Cup championship. But it was not a sleek sports car or a prestigious team that marked the beginning of her journey - it was a Ford Fiesta.
"It was quite a jump from the Ford Fiesta to a Porsche 991 cup car, but essentially that got me into an Aston Martin today."Sloss finds herself under the wing of one of the most revered names in British motorsport. "Honestly, it's game changing. I did not imagine I'd be in this position a year or two ago when I started my journey in racing," she adds.
