Smith is the Sunoco Prize winner and raced in the Rolex 24 at Daytona in 2014.[1]
Starting in go-karts at the young age of eight, Smith began to win races at Club, National and European Level. Moving to sports cars in 2011, Smith experienced half a season and was able to outdrive his 2004 car to gain top ten places.
In 2012, Smith competed in a Radical SR3 RS 260 hp car in the Clubman Cup, where he won the championship in his first year.
