Starting his career as a nationally ranked virtual racer to being the first American to win the Formula Ford Festival and Walter Hayes Trophy in the same year, Formula 2 driver Max Esterson is only getting started on what will be a fruitful racing career. Starting with virtual racing due to limited access to real tracks, Max quickly rose to become one of the top iRacers in the U.S. He transitioned to realworld racing in 2020 and rapidly climbed the ranks. After success in the GB3 Championship and being named a BRDC Rising Star, Max raced in the FIA Formula 3 Championship in 2024 and now competes in the 2025 FIA Formula 2 Championship with Trident Motorsport. His lecture will explore the challenges and milestones of building a racing career from the ground up.
