Chloe's Racing Journey
Chloe Chambers started karting, which is like racing small cars, when she was just 7 years old. By age 8, she was racing seriously at Oakland Valley Race Park in New York. She even won the Kid Kart Championship in her very first year! She continued racing karts in different parts of the US and Canada as she grew older.
Racing in Formula 4
In 2021, Chloe moved up to racing in the Formula 4 United States Championship. This is a step up from karting, using faster, open-wheel cars. She raced for Future Star Racing and finished 26th in the championship.
Racing in W Series
In 2022, Chloe joined the W Series, which was an all-female racing championship. She took part in tests to qualify and was chosen to race for Jenner Racing. Her teammate was the famous driver Jamie Chadwick.
In her first race in Miami, Chloe finished 7th. This was great for a new driver! Later, she got her first W Series points by finishing 10th in another Miami race. She was the best new driver in both of those races. She continued to race in other places like Barcelona, Silverstone, and Singapore.
Racing in Formula Regional Oceania
In 2023, Chloe raced in the Formula Regional Oceania Championship in New Zealand. This series uses even faster cars. At the very last race of the season, she made history! She started the race from the very front (called pole position) and led the whole race to win. This made her the first woman ever to get pole position and win a race in that series. She finished 9th overall and was named the Most Improved Driver.
Racing Porsche Cars
Also in 2023, Chloe raced in the Porsche Sprint Challenge North America. She drove a special Porsche Cayman GT4 Club Sport car. In her first races at Barber Motorsports Park, she started from pole position and won both races! She had an amazing season, winning 8 races and getting on the podium 9 times out of 12 races. She was even a Porsche Junior driver, meaning Porsche supported her.
She returned to this series in 2024 as a guest driver. She once again won both races she entered from pole position.
Racing in F1 Academy
Chloe joined the F1 Academy series in 2024. This is another important all-female racing series that helps drivers get to bigger championships. She races for Campos Racing and was supported by the Haas Formula 1 team.
She quickly showed her talent, getting her first podium (a top-three finish) in Miami. Then, in Barcelona, she won her first F1 Academy race! She started second, quickly took the lead, and finished far ahead of everyone else. She also set the fastest lap in that race.
It was announced that Chloe will continue racing in F1 Academy in 2025. She will still be with Campos Racing, but she will now be part of the Red Bull Academy Program. This means she will be supported by the famous Red Bull and Ford racing brands.
Testing Faster Cars
Chloe has also had chances to test even faster racing cars.
FIA Formula 3 Test
