Jade, who has been involved in the world of motorsport since 2008, said: "It's such a great opportunity to be an ambassador to a global brand, Kia, at such a prestigious event like Goodwood!

“And even better that I can finally represent a brand my family business is so closely involved with as the Kia branch in Llandudno.

“I've driven so many cars in my time but none that we as a family actually sell so it finally all lines up! I can't wait!"
