My Career

I started racing in September 2018 at Shenington in Honda Cadets. It was a genuine family effort — my mum and dad ran the kart, and we learned everything together. We initially worked within a team structure, but quickly realised that if we wanted to progress, we needed deeper understanding. Set-up, preparation, mechanical detail — we learned it properly.

Starting late in the season meant I had ground to make up. That experience shaped me early. I understood quickly that performance comes from preparation, feedback and attention to detail.

By 2019 I was fighting further up the grid, finishing Vice Champion in the Shenington Sprint Championship and securing multiple top-10 championship finishes. Running as privateers gave me more responsibility and a stronger voice in development. I wasn’t just driving — I was learning how to build performance.

In 2020, with improved equipment and greater understanding, I raced consistently at the front. A new chassis and engine showed me what a competitive package feels like — and how important the foundations are. The pandemic interrupted momentum, but the trajectory was clear.

In 2021 I stepped into national competition in Minimax. Racing at circuits such as PFI and Kimbolton and entering rounds of the Super One Championship exposed me to the highest level of karting competition in the UK. I secured national podium finishes and won the Hunts Kart Club Minimax Championship.

Progressing into Junior and Senior classes raised the standard again. British Championship campaigns in Rotax and TKM demanded consistency, discipline and technical awareness. I experienced strong pace, but more importantly, I learned how fine the margins are at national level — and how much preparation matters.

In 2023 I committed to the TKM British Championship, finishing 11th overall and 4th in the Hunts Kart Club standings. Physically I was growing rapidly and, at times, disadvantaged in Junior TKM. That period strengthened my resilience and race management.

When I transitioned into Senior TKM later that year, I immediately returned to winning form. It reinforced a key belief: in the right category, with the right foundations, I can compete at the front consistently.

In 2024 I focused on the Ultimate Karting Championship and national competition. The season included setbacks — incidents, illness and mechanical challenges — but by the final round I secured a podium finish and ended the year ranked 5th in the UK in Senior TKM.

Mid-season I tested IAME X30 and immediately demonstrated competitive pace. The transition confirmed my adaptability across categories.

A late-season crash resulted in significant ligament damage to my left leg and forced an early end to the year. That period of recovery was difficult physically, but it gave me clarity. I began evaluating the long-term direction of my career rather than simply the next race weekend.

My final karting campaign focused on X30 and the British Championship. Returning from injury required patience and discipline. At PFI, I gained nine positions in the final and was nominated Driver of the Weekend — a performance that reflected racecraft and resilience rather than outright advantage.

During that season, I recognised something important. My ambition is to build a sustainable, long-term professional career. The environment that would develop me most effectively was no longer karting — it was cars.

Stepping away from competitive karting was a deliberate decision. Karting gave me racecraft, mechanical sympathy, resilience and technical awareness. It provided the foundation. The next phase required a different platform.

Moving into single-seater cars was always the objective. After discussions with experienced drivers and engineers, Formula Ford 1600 stood out as the purest development category available.

No aerodynamic aids. No driver assists. Manual gearbox. Control tyres in all conditions. There is no masking weaknesses in Formula Ford. It rewards precision, adaptability and mechanical understanding.

I tested at Donington and Brands Hatch and adapted quickly, building confidence and pace with each session. In September 2025 I competed in the Super Classic Formula Ford Championship and qualified inside the overall top ten at Donington Park. On my debut weekend in the Royale RP21, I won my class and finished inside the overall top five.

went on to secure top-10 class finishes at both the Formula Ford Festival and the Walter Hayes Trophy — two of the most respected and historically significant events in global Formula Ford competition, attracting international grids and elite drivers. Competing in these events reinforced my commitment to mastering fundamental racecraft at the highest level before progressing further.

Since those initial race outings, the focus has shifted fully towards building consistency, understanding the car in detail and developing within the Formula Ford environment properly. That work has not been limited to time on track. Over the winter, I have spent time working on cars within the workshop — from stripping and rebuilding components to understanding how setup changes affect behaviour and performance. That hands-on involvement has been a key part of my development.

Alongside this, I have continued driving in different environments to build feel and adaptability. This has included rallying and kart testing, both of which place a strong emphasis on car control, grip and reaction — areas that translate directly into Formula Ford. The Reynard was prepared and shaken down ahead of the 2026 season, allowing us to begin the year with a clear understanding of the car and a direction for development.

Testing at Mallory Park and Silverstone has focused on building consistency, understanding tyre behaviour and refining feedback. Each session has been approached with a clear objective — not just to improve lap time, but to understand why performance is found and how it can be repeated. That approach carried into the first race weekend. On debut in the Reynard within the United Formula Ford Championship, I ran at the front of the field in class and was able to compete directly with newer cars across both races. The weekend resulted in a class win and confirmed both pace and racecraft within a competitive grid.

The direction now is clear. To continue developing within Formula Ford through consistent race weekends, structured testing and ongoing work within the garage environment. And to build the programme properly — combining driving, mechanical understanding and content — as the platform continues to grow alongside performance on track.

The 2026https://brscc.co.uk/formulae/geoff-page-engineering-super-classic-pre-99-formula-ford-championship/  has marked a significant step forward in Harrison Morrow's career.

In his first full season with Shaws Motorsport, Harrison has established himself as one of the championship's leading drivers, combining outright pace with remarkable consistency across the opening four rounds at Brands Hatch, Oulton Park, Silverstone and Donington Park.

The season has already seen Harrison make championship history by becoming the youngest race winner in the history of the Super Classic Formula Ford Championship. However, that victory is only one part of the story.

Competing in the highly competitive Class A category in the Reynard FF92, Harrison has consistently challenged at the front of the overall field against experienced Formula Ford drivers. Rather than relying on one standout performance, his championship has been built on scoring heavily at every meeting and avoiding the costly mistakes that often decide titles.

After four championship weekends, Harrison has accumulated 245 championship points. Once the mandatory dropped scores are applied, he leads the championship on 201 points, ahead of Tom Hawkins on 185 points, with Leon Frost third on 155 points.

That 16-point advantage after dropped scores is particularly significant. It demonstrates that Harrison's championship challenge has been built on consistency as much as outright speed. While victories are important, championships are won by repeatedly delivering strong results throughout an entire season.

With just two championship weekends remaining at Snetterton and Anglesey, Harrison enters the final phase of the season in the strongest position of his career. As championship leader, he is now on course to become the youngest Super Classic Formula Ford Champion in the history of the series.

Regardless of the final outcome, 2026 has already established Harrison as one of the championship's brightest young talents. At just 17 years old, he has shown the maturity, racecraft and consistency required to compete for one of British Formula Ford's most prestigious titles, while continuing to develop both as a driver and as an integral member of the Shaws Motorsport team.

Alongside his full-season Super Classic campaign, Harrison Morrow has used the 2026 United Formula Ford Championship to measure himself against some of the strongest Formula Ford drivers in the UK.

Rather than contesting every round with an outright championship challenge in mind, United has been used as a development programme, exposing Harrison to larger grids, different circuits and a wide variety of modern Formula Ford machinery.

The season began at Silverstone National, where Harrison claimed victory in the Heritage class in Race Two. That result proved to be the start of an exceptional run of form, as Harrison has remained unbeaten in the Heritage class ever since.

What makes those results even more impressive is how they have been achieved.

Unlike many of his rivals, Harrison has not relied on extensive testing or new tyres. Across the opening five rounds, Mallory Park was the only circuit where he completed any pre-event testing, while throughout the season he has consistently raced on previously used tyres rather than new sets. Despite that approach, he has continued to match and beat competitors running significantly larger budgets and more comprehensive testing programmes.

After five rounds, Harrison sits 6th overall in the United Formula Ford Championship against competitors from every class, while holding a commanding lead in the Heritage Championship. His performances have been built on consistency, intelligent racecraft and an ability to maximise every opportunity, regardless of circuit or conditions.

That consistency has already secured the biggest objective of Harrison's United campaign.

With Brands Hatch and Kirkistown unavailable due to clashes with his Super Classic Formula Ford commitments, Harrison has nevertheless done enough to secure the 2026 United Formula Ford Heritage Championship before the season reaches its conclusion.

For a 17-year-old in his first full season racing Formula Ford, the achievement represents another significant milestone. Winning a national championship while simultaneously leading the Super Classic Formula Ford Championship demonstrates not only Harrison's pace, but also his ability to perform consistently across two highly competitive championships.

The remainder of the season will now focus on continuing Harrison's development, preparing for the Formula Ford Festival and Walter Hayes Trophy, and building on what has already become a landmark year in his racing career.
