The Australian will compete in the five round international Castrol Toyota FR Oceania Championship with Kiwi Motorsport, continuing a successful partnership forged in the United States over the course of 2024.

Three wins from a 10 podium haul across the F4 US championship season capped a fine year for the Perth-based 16 year old, particularly as he was new to the car and the circuits used in the championship. He ultimately missed out on the title by just four and a half points to compatriot Daniel Quimby.

That followed a solid run in his domestic Australian F4 Championship earlier in the year where he took eight podium finishes on the way to another second overall.

He’s hoping that versatility and speed will stand him in good stead when he heads to New Zealand for the first round of the championship in January, commenting:

“I am looking forward to the CTFROC series and racing the Formula Regional car for the first time,” he said. “It’s going to be a competitive championship and a great way for me to start 2025. Nicolas is the latest in a long line of Australians to compete in the championship. Thomas Randle was the last Aussie to win the NZ title back in 2017.
