Career

Leslie began karting in 2016.[1] During his karting career, Leslie won the 2019–20 Wombwell Karting Winter Series in the IAME class, before winning the Mini Max Kartmasters Grand Prix in 2021.[2] In his final year of karting in 2023, Leslie raced in the Ultimate Karting Championship's Junior Max class,[3] taking three wins before leaving the series with two rounds remaining.[4]

Leslie made his car racing debut in the BRSCC Fiesta Junior Championship in 2023, competing at both the Silverstone and Donington Park rounds. In the former, he finished second overall on debut and won the MK7 class, before taking the overall win in race two and ending off his cameo with another overall win in the sole race at Donington Park.[5][6] Remaining in the BRSCC Fiesta Junior Championship for the following year, Leslie took three overall wins to finish the season runner-up in the overall points, whilst also clinching the MK7 title by one point over Jacob Hodgkiss.[7]

The following year, Leslie stepped up to the TCR UK Touring Car Championship by joining Power Maxed Racing as part of the series' first ever Junior Driver Programme.[8] Having finished fourth in his first two races at the first Donington Park round,[9][10] before taking his maiden series podium in race three by finishing second behind Callum Newsham.[11] After finishing no higher than sixth in the following two rounds,[12] Leslie took his second podium of the season in the second race at Croft by once again finishing second to Newsham, after race winner Adam Shepherd was disqualified.[13] Leslie then finished fifth in both races at Oulton Park, which turned out to be his last round of the season, as Power Maxed Racing skipped the final two rounds following a fire to their base,[14][15] thus ending the year sixth in points.[16] During 2025, Leslie joined Toyota Gazoo Racing UK with IAA to make his debut in the British Touring Car Championship at Oulton Park.[17] On his debut, Leslie finished 23rd and two laps down,[18] before finishing 17th in race two and taking his first points in race three by finishing 12th.[19][20]
