During his karting career he raced alongside Jenson Button, Dan Wheldon, and his Zip Kart teammates Anthony Davidson and Gary Paffett.

At the age of 10, he told a TV programme that he wanted to race in the BTCC (not mentioning Formula One, which is a bigger draw for most star-struck youngsters).

At age 16 he graduated to the Fiesta si Championship and in 1998 moved up to the BTCC supporting Ford Credit Fiesta Championship.

In 1998 he became the youngest race winner in the 20-year history of the Championship aged just 18.

2001

2001 was his first full season, being part of a four-car GR Motorsport entry into the Production Class.

He finished fifth overall in his class, having taken a race win in round 16 of the series at Snetterton.

2002

In 2002 he graduated to the main division of the championship, driving an MG ZS for Team Atomic Kitten run by established touring car outfit West Surrey Racing joined by fellow debutant Colin Turkington.

2003

Despite outperforming and outscoring Turkington, at the end of the season he was dropped from the MG program because of funding, and found himself without a full-time drive for the 2003 season.

He managed to secure a number of outings during the year, including at Silverstone as team-mate to Gavin Pyper at GA Motorsport, piloting a Vauxhall Astra Coupé.

He completed the final 4 two-race rounds of the championship for Team Dynamics, also in a Vauxhall, scoring 2 Independent's Cup wins.

2004

He was planned to race for Dynamics in 2004, but after Vic Lee's team closed, Dan Eaves and his Halfords sponsorship replaced him.

Howell sat out the 2004 and much of the 2005 seasons due to a lack of finance.

He signed to drive a SEAT Toledo for Motorbase Performance, scoring the team's best result in finishing 5th in a 3-year-old car.

He left the team mid-season, explaining that "It's a vicious circle. We needed to develop the car through testing to get further towards the front and out of the midfield melee, but we came back from each round with so much damage that then took all the time between races to repair. We'd then go out and experience the same problem all over again."

He races at Thruxton and Oulton Park in place of regular driver Stuart Oliver, in the same SEAT as he drove in 2007, however he scored no points and was eliminated from both meetings before the final races.

2008

He started 2008 without a drive, but joined BTC Racing as their test and reserve driver early in the season.
