Max is following in the footsteps of Australia’s most successful racing drivers. Max’s early start in motorsport racing dirt karts at the age of 7 paved the way for a stellar junior karting career that has since resulted in seven major national level titles and a host of state and club level achievements. These performances saw him ready to successfully step up to Formula Ford competition at just 14 years of age. Max won the 2016 Victorian Formula Ford Championship with a clean sweep of five round victories from the five rounds of the championship, four Pole positions (fastest qualifier) and a total of 13 individual race wins. On the way he also reset reset Jamie Whincup’s (Australia’s seven time champion and most successful Supercar driver) long standing Winton Raceway Formula Ford Lap Record. More success followed in 2017 when Max became the youngest driver ever to win the Australian Formula Ford Championship at 16 years of age. Max achieved this with two round wins, three round podiums (top three overall results), two Pole positions and four front row starts. Max’s debut season in GT3 Cup Challenge 2018 included 2 race wins and nine podium finishes over the course of the 6 rounds and 17 races, therefore finishing in the top three in more than 50% of the races he contested as a rookie. Max has even proven his speed when competing in one-off races in different motor racing categories as diverse as the HQ Holden and Excel Series, enjoying strong performances in each that belied his young age and experience level. Max’s competitiveness has the potential to springboard the young driver into the Porsche Carrera Cup Championship, which is renowned as the final step before Supercars and International GT racing competition. Max has set the goal of becoming a professional racing driver both within Australia and abroad. Considering the experience and success that he has already gained at such a young age, any company that joins Max on this journey will be marketing with an Australian sportsperson realising his dream.
