Bio:
Hong Kong’s Xie moves up to GB3 off the back of dominating the F4 Chinese Championship last year. Claiming 12 race victories from 14 starts, Xie ultimately sealed the crown by more than 160 points.
The Macau GP runner-up has linked-up with Richard Ollerenshaw’s Hillspeed squad through the Hitech GP Academy, the latter providing Xie with additional simulator and fitness training in an exciting tie-up between the two organisations.
Prior to his car racing debut in 2022, Xie climbed the ranks in karting from the CIK-FIA Karting Academy Trophy through the IAME Asia series, the IAME Asia Cup – where he was third in the Junior class in 2020 – the FIA Karting European Championship at OK level and the WSK Euro Series.
