Lucca Allen setting his sights on a career on the track in his Ford Eco- Boost powered car

He may hail from a famous foodie dynasty, but Lucca Allen prefers the high octane world of motorsport to the heat of the kitchen.

The 14-year-old son of celebrity chef Rachel Allen is setting his sights on a career on the track in his Ford Eco- Boost powered car.

He can’t wait to turn 15 on June 29 so he is eligible to race in the Formula 4 (F4) British Championships. Just four days later, he will compete in the event for the first time.
