Career
Karting
Sherwood competed in various karting championships across the UK, most notably the LGM Series, in which he finished 36th in the Junior X30 category in 2019.[2]
Ginetta Junior Championship
In April 2021, it was confirmed that Sherwood would be making his car racing debut in the 2021 Ginetta Junior Championship, driving for reigning champions Elite Motorsport.[3] He had a very difficult season with the team, scoring points on fourteen occasions and securing only a best race result of 14th. He finished the season in 24th in the standings, on 50 points.[4]
Formula 4
2022
For 2022, Sherwood was confirmed to be continuing with Elite Motorsport for the inaugural season of the GB4 Championship.[5][6] In the first round at Snetterton, he recorded three points finishes.[7][8][9] After more of the same in the next round, he scored his first podium in the reverse-grid race in the third round at Silverstone.[10] He went on to secure more podiums in the following round at Donington, and won for the first time in the series in the fifth round at the Snetterton Circuit.[11][12][13] In the penultimate round at Brands Hatch, he won for his second and final time in the series.[14] After a promising first year in single-seaters, Sherwood finished 5th in the final standings, finishing above his two Elite Motorsport teammates.[15] Sherwood also contested the final four rounds of the 2022 F4 British Championship with Chris Dittmann Racing, in preparation for a full season in 2023.[16][17]
2023
As expected, Sherwood returned to the F4 British Championship for the 2023 season.[18] He made a strong impression in the opening round at Donington Park, securing a podium in the third race.[19] His next podium came in the eighth round at Knockhill, as he finished third in the first race of the round.[20] His highest placed finish, however, came in the final round at Brands Hatch. Sherwood managed to finish second in the reverse-grid race, gaining three positions in a highly impressive race.[21] In the overall standings, Sherwood finished 15th, scoring 89 points and finishing being his two teammates.[22]
2024
For 2024, it was confirmed that Sherwood would return to the F4 British Championship for a second full season, as he joined reigning champions Rodin Motorsport for the 2024 season.[23] The first round of the season at Donington saw him finish on the podium in the reverse-grid race.[24] He had an impressive round two rounds later at Snetterton, securing two second-placed finishes.[25][26] He went on to secure four more podium finishes over the course of the season, all third-placed results.[27][28][29][30] After scoring eight podiums and 230 points over the course of 2024, he finished 5th in the final standings after a long-standing fight for third place.[31]
GB3 Championship
2023
It was announced that Sherwood would join Chris Dittmann Racing for the penultimate round of the 2023 GB3 Championship, at Circuit Zandvoort in the Netherlands.[32] His debut saw him finish 20th in the first race, and 22nd in the final race, as he did not finish the second race.[33][34][35]
2025
After his 2024 F4 British Championship efforts, Sherwood earned a drive in the 2025 GB3 Championship, joining UAE-based debutants Xcel Motorsport for the season.[36]
