Joshua Whatley started his racing career in Great Britain. He competed in the 2018 edition of the British Talent Cup, where he finished 4th with three podiums to his name. At the same time, he participated two seasons in the European Talent Cup and two seasons in the FIM CEV Repsol in Moto3™. He achieved several Top 10s and reached 19th place in the Junior World Championship. In 2022, he made his debut in the World Championship with the VisionTrack Racing Team, though he failed to score any points for the season. One year more experienced, the Brit will be looking to get himself on the board with more regularity in 2023.
