Jack Beeton (born 17 November 2007) is an Australian racing driver from Gold Coast.[1] He currently competes in the 2024 Italian F4 Championship with US Racing.[2] He is the 2023 Formula 4 South East Asia Championship champion.[3]
Career[edit]
Karting[edit]
Beeton competed in the Australian Kart Championship from the 2020 season onwards, and his best result in the championship was 6th in the KA4 Junior category in 2022.[4]
Formula 4[edit]
2022[edit]
In late 2022, Beeton had the chance to impress the Ferrari Driver Academy, and win a place in the scouting world finals. He won the Asia Pacific and Oceania Selection Program alongside fellow Aussie Gianmarco Pradel, to make it to the world finals.[5] He lined up alongside Pradel and 4 other finalists in the finals, and was the youngest driver selected.[6]
2023[edit]
After showing his quality in the scouting world finals, he was announced to be driving in F4 UAE for Pinnacle VAR.[7] Beeton had a tough rookie year, and he only scored one points finish as he ended the campaign in 23rd.[8] Beeton then went to Europe and was signed by VAR for the full Italian F4 season.[9] Beeton went on to finish 23rd in the championship, scoring just two points in his debut season with a best result of 9th.[10] Beeton then ended the season back in Asia as he joined AGI Sport for the 2023 Formula 4 South East Asia Championship.[11] Beeton had an outstanding season, winning the title by a considerable margin. He scored 130 points and managed a total of 5 podiums from 9 races.[12]
2024[edit]
Beeton opted to continue his successful journey with AGI as the team entered the 2024 Formula 4 UAE Championship.[13] The combination had a largely successful season in the championship, scoring two podiums as Beeton finished 12th in the championship against vastly more experienced teams.[14] Beeton then contested the remaining two rounds of the Formula Winter Series, with his new team US Racing, who would also partner him for the Italian F4 and Euro 4 seasons.[15] Beeton had a very successful two round stint in FWS, scoring 52 points and standing on the podium three times in five races.[16]
