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.
