Tommy Harfield
16-year-old Tommy from Worcestershire was part of Chris Dittmann Racing’s driver development programme in 2024, taking part in multiple test days to build his knowledge and understanding of the car.
Alongside his work with CDR, he made his car racing debut in the BRSCC Fiesta Junior Championship. Regularly qualifying on the front row, he claimed back-to-back victories at Croft, before a hand injury forced him to miss the final three rounds of the season.
Tommy began karting at the age of nine, winning club races and championships in Honda Cadet before moving to the mini X30 British Kart Championship, finishing inside the top 10. He then took multiple wins and podiums in Junior Rotax before stepping into Fiesta Juniors.
