Ticktum entered karting at the age of eight, competing in Honda Cadets with Project One Racing. He enjoyed early success, culminating in him becoming Vice Champion of the National Super One Championship in 2010 before moving into Comer Cadet.
In 2011, he completed the Grand Slam of British national cadet titles - winning the British FKS Championship, National ABkC Super One Championship, British Open Championship and British Grand Prix Championship. This has been achieved by only one other driver in history.
A year later, Ticktum moved into the international scene, competing in the WSK Euro Series and WSK Masters Series, finishing both championships as the highest placed rookie.
In 2013, Ticktum joined Ricky Flynn Motorsport, becoming Vice Champion of the CIK FIA European Championship, tying on points with the Champion, and Vice Champion in the National Super One Championship. The same year Ticktum was awarded the KFJ Andrea Margutti Trophy; previous winners include F1 stars Giancarlo Fisichella, Robert Kubica and most recently Daniil Kvyat.
The following year, Ticktum became Vice Champion of the WSK Masters and during his first test with Lanan Racing, in BRDC Formula 4 Championship, he memorably broke the lap record at the Brands Indy circuit.

European Formula 3
In 2016, Ticktum returned to motorsport, competing in the final round of the European Formula 3 Championship in Hockenheim with Carlin. He then raced in the Macau Grand Prix with Double R Racing finishing 8th in Saturday's qualifying race before retiring early in the main race.[3]
