Profile:
Hannah Haywood Taylor is one of three triplet daughters born in Australia from Almighty Super Tourers legend Norman Taylor and his now ex-wife. Though Norman had plans to retire in the near future at the time of their birth, he often blamed the three girls for cutting his career shorter than he desired it to be, and thus vowed ‘make up for it’ by training them from a young age to shape them into prestigious racing drivers. His wife was extremely hesitant to the idea, worrying that the sisters might be put under too much stress at such an early time in their lives, but decided to see it out since Norman was also known for his great coaching.

Their mother’s worries, however, became greatly validated, as Norman displayed strict instruction and punished errors harshly. This was especially true for Hannah, as somehow she could not keep up with her sister Jessica in the steady progress she had made. Jessica was often encouraged by Norman into ridiculing both Hannah and her other sister Cathryn for their slower growth. Their mother soon started to catch on to everything he was doing, and quickly took action by filing for divorce in hopes she could retain custody of her children.

Though her mother successfully won custody, Hannah saw much less of her other two sisters after the fact. Jessica would try to sneak off whenever she could to visit Norman, while Cathryn generally distanced herself from her own family. Despite all of the events that would normally discourage a person from their previous passions, Hannah still wanted to believe that she could make a great success out of a racing career. Despite her mother trying to divert her path, she still attended professional motor racing events with a camera in hand, and sought every opportunity to jump into a local karting race.

Hannah’s driving skills starting off were downright horrible. Sluggish pace and lack of on-track awareness already garnered a negative reputation from other drivers on the grid, and it seemed like her career was over before it even started. Her mother became more persistent than ever to keep Hannah away from a racing seat so as to not embarrass herself further, and eventually she complied. However, when presented the opportunity to receive free coaching from a well-seasoned karting driver, Hannah immediately nagged and begged her mother to give her one more chance. After being annoyed day after day by Hannah’s relentless request, her mother finally gave in with the condition that the coach saw significant improvement in her driving thereafter.

It was during those few weeks that something finally started to click in Hannah’s driving. Though her pace alone wasn’t record breaking by any means, she began setting much quicker lap times than she ever had before. What also came to fruition during this time was her scarily consistent race pace, one lap not being any further off than a tenth or two from the other. After finally finding her groove in a short amount of time, many took note of Hannah’s newly formed smooth and consistent driving style that earned her frequent strong race finishes, and eventually a few championships

Going further into her teenage years, all of her hard work finally started paying off when she was finally granted a gig in GT4 sportscar racing in her region. In this series, it would be up until 2016 when Hannah earned several championship podiums and even a championship win to her name. During this time, she quickly gained a large following from fans, being praised by many for her unparalleled beauty, as well as her graceful and empathetic compassion towards her team and fellow opponents.

More and more racing fans were beginning to talk about her, even theorizing if she would catch up to Jessica, who was already making massive strides in open-wheel racing. While Hannah is determined to carve her own path in the racing world, she also deep down has an unrelenting desire of exacting revenge on her father by showing that she could be just as good, if not a better driver than her sister. Whether or not she’ll successfully reach that point in time is yet to be seen, but nobody can stop her momentous motivation in trying.

RP Notes:
- Extremely caring and compassionate towards her friends, teammates, and competitors.
- Despises people bringing up or comparing her to her sister Jessica, and especially hates anyone speaking highly of her father.
- Despite being in a steady relationship already, tends to lead others on as she’s too afraid to downright reject others.
- Exercises calm and calculated racing on track, focusing on consistent lap times rather than outright fastest laps.
