Lily-May Watkins will stay with KMR Sport as she returns to the GB4 Championship for a second season in 2026. The 18-year-old stepped up to car racing for the first time with the team in 2025, edging closer to the pace as the season progressed.
 

Despite a lack of car racing experience compared to her rivals, Lily was able to score consistent points as she acclimatised to single-seaters, and netted a top-10 finish at Oulton Park despite hugely challenging conditions.
 

Prior to her GB4 graduation, Lily had built up a thorough grounding in karting and Esports. Having begun competitive racing in 2019, her karting accolades included third place in the Rye House Lando Cup in 2020 and the semi-finals of the 2023 British Indoor Karting Championship.
 

Now with a year’s car racing experience to her name, Lily returns to the series and has already returned to action by commencing a pre-season testing campaign with Kevin Mills’ multiple GB4 Championship-winning squad.

Lily-May Watkins said: “I am really excited to be competing in GB4 again next year with KMR Sport. Being my first year in cars, the step was quite challenging, but with the team’s help, I progressed immensely throughout the season. This year we’ve seen progress, but next year I believe we can fight further up the grid and hopefully challenge for the female championship.”
 

KMR Sport Team Principal Kevin Mills said: ”Lily made excellent progress with us in 2025, and we’re very pleased that we’re going to continue working together next year. Now she has a full year’s experience, we’re looking to help her take the next step up in her performance levels and challenge for the top female driver prize.”

“We’ve seen enough potential from her this year to know she’s capable of fighting further up the order, and Tom [Mills] and the rest of the team will push her hard as we look to unlock further breakthroughs in performance.”
