Early career Despite never competing in karting, Lloyd's first taste of motorsport came in 2018 when she was invited to take part in the
FIA's Girls on Track Karting Challenge at
Silverstone. She formally began her career four years later, in the
2022 Ginetta Junior Championship. Racing for Assetto Motorsport, she scored points in 15 of 25 races and recorded a best race finish of 11th. In early 2023, Lloyd was chosen for the
Motorsport UK Academy Futures program and moved up to the
Ginetta GT5 Challenge with Xentek Motorsport. The season was an instant success, as she won on debut and picked up ten wins, ten pole positions and seventeen podiums, eventually finishing runner-up behind Luke Garlick.
Formula 4 2024 Lloyd made her single-seater debut in the
2024 Formula Winter Series, driving for
Rodin Motorsport in two rounds. In her debut weekend she had her best qualifying time deleted for causing a red flag, which meant she started in 38th. She made up more than 30 positions over the three races, finishing in 21st, 20th, and 22nd. She improved to 18th in qualifying for the next round, but weather and contact marred her results in the races. Lloyd won the female trophy in three of the four races she finished. Lloyd later joined
JHR Developments for a full programme in
British F4. Her debut came at
Donington Park, where she finished eighth and seventh having notably overtaken the much more experienced
Abbi Pulling. Lloyd's campaign took off in the fifth round at Silverstone, with three strong results including a maiden podium, where she followed teammate Leo Robinson through for a JHR 1–2. The pair repeated the feat at
Knockhill, and Lloyd also returned to the rostrum at Donington, where she qualified a season-best 3rd in wet conditions, and
Brands Hatch. Despite skipping the penultimate round, Lloyd finished 11th in the championship with 99 points. On the tail end of the 2024 season, Lloyd competed in the first two rounds of the
2024 Formula Trophy UAE, where she picked up two best finishes of 17th.
2025 Lloyd placed fourth upon her second season in F1 Academy additionally she returned to the
British F4 in 2025, switching to
Rodin Motorsport in a dual campaign with
F1 Academy campaign.
F1 Academy 2024: Wildcard entrant car in the paddock at the
Marina Bay Street Circuit. In
2024, along with her British F4 commitments, Lloyd served as the wildcard entry for Round 5 of the all-female
F1 Academy series at
Singapore. Although mechanical issues limited her mileage in practice, Lloyd qualified eighth, a mere 0.111 off fourth place. She improved to sixth and seventh in both races, but a penalty for a false start demoted her to ninth in Race 1.
2025 and 2026: Full seasons For the
2025 season, it was announced that Lloyd would be entering the series under
Rodin Motorsport with support from
McLaren, having joined the
McLaren Driver Development Programme. In Round 1 at
Shanghai, Lloyd qualified 11th. Though starting at the pitlane for Race 1, she managed to climb her way up to sixth place, and in Race 2 she finished in seventh. In Round 2 at
Jeddah, she won her first F1 Academy race in the reverse grid Race 1. In Round 4 at
Montreal, she finished all three races in second place. Lloyd finished in fourth in the drivers' championship and was the top-scoring rookie of the season. Shanghai round Lloyd remained with Rodin Motorsport and McLaren for the
2026 season.
Formula E In November 2024, Lloyd and McLaren's incumbent F1 Academy driver
Bianca Bustamante joined the
McLaren Formula E Team for the
Formula E women's test that took place at
Jarama in Madrid ahead of the
2024–25 season. Lloyd placed seventh overall at the test, a showing
Gary Paffett described as "impressive". She participated in her second test session on 14 July 2025 again for McLaren at the
Tempelhof Airport Street Circuit in Berlin. Ahead of the
2025–26 season, Lloyd was hired by
Envision Racing for the women's test at
Valencia, where she finished both the morning and afternoon sessions in fifth. Lloyd will return with Envision for the rookie test at
