Australian teenager Patrick Heuzenroeder will move up to the GB3 Championship with Elite Motorsport for the final two rounds of the season.

The 17-year-old will make his category debut at Zandvoort this weekend (13-15 October) and will then return at Donington Park the following week, joining Elite’s race-winning duo McKenzy Cresswell and Oliver Stewart. 

Heuzenroeder’s career began when aged 13 at Sydney’s Eastern Creek go kart circuit. He karted in Australia for the following three years before progressing to cars, competing in the 2022 NSW Formula Ford Championship, running third in the standings before departing for the UK. 

After commencing a winter testing programme in F4 machinery, Heuzenroeder competed in the 2023 British F4 campaign with Argenti Motorsport, claiming a podium finish at Snetterton. He also made the 2022 Ferrari Driver Academy Asia Pacific trials, narrowly missing out on progressing to the World final.
