FLYNN
GERARD RACING

A 16-year-old driver's first season in Circuit Excel, built from the ground up — car, licence, and livery. Now building the partnerships to get to the grid.

The Driver

Ground-up, not handed down

Flynn Gerard is entering Circuit Excel for the 2027 season — building everything from scratch: earning toward the car, sourcing and prepping it, sitting the Motorsport Australia Circuit Licence test, and learning race craft from the ground up rather than starting with a car handed to him.

That includes the unglamorous side too — mowing lawns, applying for weekend work, and pitching local businesses directly — because in a grassroots category like this, the effort off-track is what gets you onto it.

The Car

Hyundai Excel X3 — #15

A control-spec Excel prepped to Circuit Excel regulations: sealed engine, control tyres, and a livery built to stand out in a field where the racing — not the horsepower — decides the result.
