ABOUT me
Hi, I'm Blake Dowdall. A New Zealand racecar driver making my way through the ranks. So far, I've competed in karting for six years, Formula First for one, and have been in Fords 2 seasons.
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, this all kicked off on a test day with Dennis Martin from Sabre Motorsport. On this test day, I turned some really quick laps, so off to Formula First I went. 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 just completed my 2nd season. In this class, I learnt a massive amount and have achieved; the Manfeild Winter Series 2022 winner. - North Island Formula Ford - 2nd (2022 - 2023.)
- NZ Formula Ford Championship - 6th 2023
- North Island Formula Ford Round 4 - 1st 2024
- North Island Formula Ford - 3rd 2023 - 2024.
- Morrie Smith Memorial Trophy Winner - 2022.
I am also the current 2024/25 North Island Formula Ford and NZ Formula Ford Championship leader (15/02/25)
