Your donation is supporting Patrick Heuzenroeder
Visit websiteAs a young Australian racing driver chasing my dream of F1, your support is critical for me to succeed. Your donation will help me compete at the highest level of motor racing in the United Kingdom, the British formula 3 championship, GB3. Help me take the next step up the F1 ladder by becoming 2025 GB3 Champion!
After moving to the UK at just age 16 after my talent was recognised in the 2022 Ferrari Driver Academy Asia Pacific trials, proceeding to the final from 23 of the most talented young drivers in Asia/Oceania, I competed in the British Formula 4 championship in 2023 and GB3, formerly known as British F3 in 2024.
I took the next step in my career at the start of this year by competing in the FIA® recognised Toyota Formula Regional Oceania Championship which is widely acknowledged as a European ‘winter’ proving ground for many drivers who have gone onto F1. I achieved 4th in the championship with 9 top 5 finishes and 4 podiums, including a win at the New Zealand Grand Prix weekend, in what has been stated to be one of the most competitive fields since Formula 1 drivers, Liam Lawson, Franco Colapinto and Yuki Tsunoda competed in 2020. I raced against and beat drivers from all over the world, racing in Formula 2, Formula 3, IndyNXT and Australian Supercars.
With the support of some legendary names in motorsport, including my mentor, ex F1 driver and 3x winner of the Le Mans 24 Hours, David Brabham, in 2025 I will be competing in GB3, spearheading the Xcel Motorsport team, which includes multiple team members behind championship winning teams from British F4 through all categories to FIA® Formula 3 with Lando Norris. Coming off a strong performance in New Zealand I feel I am in a strong position to contend for the GB3 Championship title and set myself up to step up to be on the grid for FIA® Formula 3 at the Melbourne Grand Prix in 2026!
My motto is purpose, commitment, resilience. I’m totally committed to pursuing my dream, and I moved to the other side of the world at age 16 to do so. I’m committed to making the most of peoples’ efforts to help me by always working my hardest to get the results needed to climb the motorsport ladder.
Former F1 driver and 3x Le Mans 24 Hour winner, David Brabham:
“Working with Pat Heuzenroeder as his mentor throughout this year, he is undoubtedly a young driver with much potential. The GB3 championship, with its fast cars and ultra-competitive field, and as a recognised step on the ladder to F1, is the perfect series for Pat to lay down the foundations for what I have no doubt will be a long and successful career in top-level motorsport.”
Sporting Director of Mercedes-AMG F1, Ron Meadows:
“Patrick is one of those people who you cannot help but want to root for, he’s a genuine, top class young man. I’ve been watching Patrick closely during his British F4 debut, I’m impressed by his dedication, commitment and hard-working attitude, always looking to learn and improve each time he steps into the car. He’s certainly one to watch out for…”
Thank you for your support and I look forward to you becoming a part of my story…!
