Austin Newstead Racing

Friday completed✅

Good day overall, we started with good results this weekend! Managed to reach the Top 10 in Quali and we climbed the grid in the first Heat, closing it in P4👊🏻

Unlucky in the last Heat for an investigation, but that’s also part of racing.

Coming back more tomorrow for the Heats🔥

Last year Austin was crowned the British IAME Inter Champion 🏆🇬🇧

With such a busy racing schedule, he wasn’t able to attend the awards evening at the time, so this weekend he finally received his championship trophy.

It felt like the perfect moment to reflect on the journey so far and look back at the last 6 years of karting, with all the trophies and memories collected along the way. Pretty crazy to think he’s still only 11 years old… although he turns 12 next month!

Winning this championship with was an incredible achievement and we want to thank everyone there for all the support throughout last season. A special thank you also goes to .16, his mechanic, and , his coach, for all the hard work, commitment and support both on and off the track.

Motorsport is all about having the right people around you, and we’ve been very lucky to work with some amazing people who have helped Austin develop both as a driver and as a person.

Now we’re fully focused on an exciting new chapter with , competing across Europe in the OKJ category. The amount of hard work going in behind the scenes is huge, but Austin is developing every weekend and we couldn’t be happier with how things are progressing. The team have been fantastic and we’re loving the journey so far.

This weekend we’re in Valencia 🇪🇸 for Round 2 of the FIA European Championship, with qualifying today.

Wish us luck 🍀

Final’s done in Valencia ☑️

Tricky day on track, unfortunately we fell at the back of the grid in the Super Heat. But we got in the Final and got a recover of 13 positions, getting to fight in the mix!

We’ll learn from this experience and will move to the next one ❤️
