DYLAN YOUNG IS ONE OF ONLY A HANDFUL OF AUSTRALIAN RACING DRIVERS WHO HAVE BEEN COMPETING INTERNATIONALLY RECENTLY ON THE F1 PATHWAY.
He is the current runner up in the highly competitive 2019/2020 MRF Challenge Formula 3 Championship where he secured 2nd place in the Drivers Standings. As the only Australian in the field he stormed home with 3 wins and 9 podiums across the 15 race international season.
Dylan has relished in the challenge of going up against the world’s best. He was team mates with Michael Schumacher’s son Mick whilst competing against the likes of Harrison Newey, son of Red Bull F1 designer Adrian Newey and current Formula 1 drivers Daniil Kvyat and Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz Jr.
After a brief stint in karts, Dylan’s career progressed globally through the Formula BMW Pacific Championship, following in the exact footsteps of current Australian F1 star Daniel Ricciardo. His career then continued to flourish with races alongside multiple Formula 1 Grand Prix’s in the support categories under the watchful eyes of F1 team bosses.
Dylan personifies the Aussie battler. He possesses enormous hunger and drive, enduring an emotional journey fighting the financial hurdles as one of the rare drivers without family funding to assist his career. However, Dylan’s relentless pursuit has seen him become one of Australia’s most marketable drivers. He has successfully built a team of investors and Australian brands who together are sharing in his journey.
Dylan is now a man in demand with race teams from across the world chasing his services. He is currently racing Formula 3 Regional in Europe for 2021 before evaluating options internationally via Indy Car, the Le Mans 24 hours & FIA World Endurance Championship.
However his success on foreign soil could also see him become a household name in the Virgin Australia Supercars Championship and newly founded Australian S5000 category. Dylan’s dream is to have a long & successful career either overseas or at home.
