Hollie also has skills in front of the camera, which she picked up while blogging about her university life on Youtube and social media.
After being given the chance to film at a rally event, she decided to abandon teaching in 2022 to focus on motorsport media and presenting.
She set up her own media firm and became a familiar face at rally events.
It seems now like it was a matter of time before she entered a car.
In September this year, she sat as co-driver for her 82-year-old grandfather at the International McRae Rally Challenge at Knockhill.
The event marked her dad’s success, 50 years of rallying for Jimmy and 30 years since her uncle Alister triumphed in the British Rally Championship.
Hollie says her mother Alison is “quite excited” as she moves into the driving seat, but this took some getting used to.
She says: “When I first started getting involved in the sport and getting passenger runs, mum was like ‘Oh god, not another one, what are we going to do now’.
“But I think that she does trust that I’m doing it for the right reasons, I’m going out to have fun, I’m going to be safe and all of this sort of stuff.
“She is my biggest supporter, so I hope she’ll be able to come along and cheer on from the sidelines.”
