Career

Between 2019 and 2021, Whatley competed in the FIM CEV Moto3 Junior World Championship. [2]

Whatley was signed to the VisionTrack Racing sponsored Moto3 grand prix team alongside Scott Ogden for the 2022 campaign. [3] Both Ogden and Whatley were retained by VisionTrack for the 2023 and 2024 seasons, [4] but VisionTrack pulled out as title sponsor before the start of 2024 events. [5]

Ahead of the 2024 summer break, both Whatley and MLav Racing announced that they would end their partnership with immediate effect. The team stated that Whatley was too big for the Moto3 Bike which was resulting in poor performance of the British rider.[ citation needed ] Whatley was replaced by Spanish rider Vicente Pérez.
