DRIVER
Zac Soutar
Zac Soutar is a racing car driver from Geelong, Australia who currently competes in the TCR Australia Series with his own Team Soutar Motorsport outfit.
Born and raised in Geelong, Zac’s passion for motorsport developed from an early age thanks to his father, Shane Soutar, who himself was a champion Sidecar racer. Keen to cut his own path, however, Zac opted for four wheels instead of three, and began racing Go-Karts from the age of eleven. From here, Zac quickly established himself as a very capable driver, winning multiple state titles before going on to finish in the top 5 of the Australian Kart Championship for 3 consecutive years.
In 2017, Zac and his dad founded Team Soutar Motorsport and began competing in the Australian Formula Ford Championship. Competing against experienced, professional car racing teams, Zac achieved some remarkable results for his family-run team, finishing 3rd in the 2018 edition of the Championship, before finishing 2nd and falling agonizingly short of the championship title in 2019.
From his results in Formula Ford, Zac and his team were given the opportunity to enter the TCR Australia Touring Car Series for season 2020. After a year of no racing due to Covid in 2020 and a learning year in 2021, Zac managed to win his first race in the TCR Australia Series in 2022. In doing so, he and his team became the first privateer, non-factory backed team to win in the series since its inception in 2019. Zac would go onto score a further 3 podiums in the 2022 series before finishing in 6th place overall in the Championship.
