Racing career
Hawken began his career in karts at the age of 12 claiming the South of England Open championship at 14. He progressed into cars in 1991 aged 19 winning his first ever race in a Renault. In 2002 he purchased an RML built Vauxhall Cavalier entering the BARC Formula Saloons series. In 2004 he purchased an RML built Nissan Primera chassis #33 and continued to race in the BRSCC Euro Saloon & Sports Car Championship where he went on to win 3 Championships including the Super Touring Class. In October 2014, it was announced that Hawken would make his British Touring Car Championship debut as a manufacturer driver with Infiniti Support Our Paras Racing driving a Infiniti Q50. However, after Infiniti withdrew their manufacturer support from the team amidst a change in top management Dr. Andrew Palmer in mid 2015, he was replaced by Martin Donnelly.
