ABOUT me

Hi, I'm Blake Dowdall. A New Zealand racecar driver making my way through the ranks.
I started racing just before my 8th birthday when Dad showed up with my first go-kart in the back of his ute to go and have a run around the local track. However, our competitive personalities got the best of us and I was very shortly competing in any event we could. I started my car racing career in Formula First, during my time in Formula First, I won the Winter Series and the Rod Ball Memorial trophy. I am currently driving Formula Fords, and have achieved:

- 2022 Manfeild Winter Series Winner. 

(Rookie Season)

- 2022 - 2023 North Island Formula Ford - 2nd (Rookie Season)

- 2023 Morrie Smith Memorial Trophy Winner

- 2025 New Zealand Formula Ford Champion

- 2025 Morrie Smith Memorial Trophy Winner

I've also recently been a recipient of the Rodin Cars Formula Ford to Formula 1 program.

"Blake Dowdall is going to be a driver to watch in the coming years, his record to date is adequate proof of his potential, his maturity and determination to succeed are exceptional, he’s also fearless and not overawed by the opposing drivers. Palmerston North Boys High School has an impressive list of sportsmen who have succeeded at the highest level, in motorsport Brendon Hartley is the standout - will Blake Dowdall be the next as he pursues his racing career with IndyCars the ultimate goal"
