Following his comprehensive karting experience, Alfie transitioned to car racing through the Junior Saloon Car Championship (JSCC) in a Citroen Saxo, earning his International C Race License before advancing to prototype racing. His 2024 season achievements in the Masters MEL Championship have been nothing short of extraordinary: - 12 pole positions - 8 race victories - 3 second-place finishes - 1 third-place finish - 5 fastest laps - Overall Championship victory at age 16

Upon receiving the RDD Driver of the Month award, Alfie shared: "I am really proud to have been nominated as Driver of the Month, it is particularly special as I turned 17 a week ago (10th December), so massive thank you to everyone at RDD for making my month extra special. 2024 has been an awesome year for me... There is a lot going on behind the scenes for 2025 which we can't reveal at the moment.... Thank you to everyone at Racing Driver Directory for the honour of Driver of the Month and I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a FAST 2025."
