Early life and background
Career
Karting (2019–2025)
Veitch discovered karting at the age of three after seeing junior karts at a farmers' market, and first drove a kart on his fourth birthday.[6] Nine years later, Veitch began karting in arrive-and-drive competition in 2019, in the 2019 Daytona Sandown Park Junior InKart Championship.[8] After progressing through owner-driver and club-level karting over the next three years,[6] during which he worked with Enzo Mucci, who has notably worked with Formula 1 drivers Liam Lawson and Oliver Bearman, for off-track preparation.[6]
Over the following two years, Veitch raced in junior karts, as a driver for Synergy Factory Team (2023) and KR Sport (2024), before stepping up to Senior Max the following year, in which he finished third in the Kartmasters British Grand Prix after starting 14th.[1][9]
Ginetta Juniors (2025–)
Veitch made his car racing debut in the Ginetta Junior Winter Series with Elite Motorsport, after being nominated by Ginetta as one of two Ginetta Junior Scholarship finalists making their Junior debuts at the event.[10] In the three-race Winter Series, Veitch scored a best result of eighth in the finale, as he ended the season 14th in points.[11][3]
The following year, Veitch joined Pace Performance for the 2026 Ginetta Junior Championship.[12] At the opening round at Donington Park, he finished 16th, 12th and 11th in the three races.[2][13] In the following round at Silverstone, Veitch finished 15th in race two and 13th in race three.[14]
In 2026, Veitch also launched #TeamKV, an online supporter initiative for his move into car racing.[5][2]
