KATIE MILNER British GT Championship, McLaren Driver Development Program I’m Katie Milner, I’ve recently just turned 20 years old and I’m an outgoing, fun and energetic young lady with a strong drive to succeed in everything I do. I live an active lifestyle and grew up in a not so normal family. Both my older sisters have competed for Team GB in Dressage and Carriage Driving, but I’m my fathers daughter. My father became British Rally Champion in 2002/03 and taught me to drive at the age of 6. We spend our weekends away from the circuit competing against each other in our yard, and I always win.
