“Racing in New Zealand is a big step for me and for Sri Lankan motorsport.”
Sri Lankan racing talent Yevan David plans to make history as he competes in New Zealand’s Castrol Toyota Formula Regional Oceania Championship. This event is one of the top single-seater series in the region. He also becomes the first Sri Lankan driver to race in this championship, marking a major step for the country’s motorsport scene.
The championship runs from January to February and features races at several top circuits in New Zealand. It ends with the New Zealand Grand Prix, an event known for producing future Formula 1 stars.
David will race for Kiwi Motorsport, a strong team in the Oceania series. He says he feels excited about the challenge and aims to grow with each race. His goal is simple: learn fast, improve every lap, and build momentum for his future.
This opportunity fits perfectly with his breakthrough year. Yevan already made history in Europe with wins in the Euroformula Open Championship. He will also become the first Sri Lankan to compete in FIA Formula 3 next season. His New Zealand campaign adds another strong chapter to a career that continues to inspire young motorsport fans in Sri Lanka.
