Jack Beeton (born 17 November 2007) is an Australian racing driver from Gold Coast,[1] who is competing with Prema Racing in the 2025 Formula Regional European Championship. He most recently competed in the 2024 Italian F4 season with US Racing, becoming the vice-champion. Beeton is also the 2023 Formula 4 South East Asia champion.[2]
Career
Karting
Beeton competed in the Australian Kart Championship from the 2020 season onwards, and his best result in the championship was 6th in the KA4 Junior category in 2022.[3]
Formula 4
2022
In late 2022, Beeton had the chance to impress the Ferrari Driver Academy, and win a place in the scouting world finals. He won the Asia Pacific and Oceania Selection Program alongside fellow Aussie Gianmarco Pradel, to make it to the world finals.[4] He lined up alongside Pradel and 4 other finalists in the finals, and was the youngest driver selected.[5]
2023
After showing his quality in the scouting world finals, he was announced to be driving in F4 UAE for Pinnacle VAR.[6] Beeton had a tough rookie year, and he only scored one points finish as he ended the campaign in 23rd.[7] Beeton then went to Europe and was signed by VAR for the full Italian F4 season.[8] Beeton went on to finish 23rd in the championship, scoring just two points in his debut season with a best result of 9th.[9] Beeton then ended the season back in Asia as he joined AGI Sport for the 2023 Formula 4 South East Asia Championship.[10] Beeton had an outstanding season, winning the title by a considerable margin. He scored 130 points and managed a total of 5 podiums from 9 races.[11]
2024
Beeton opted to continue his successful journey with AGI as the team entered the 2024 Formula 4 UAE Championship.[12] The combination had a largely successful season in the championship, scoring two podiums as Beeton finished 12th in the championship against vastly more experienced teams.[13] Beeton then contested the remaining two rounds of the Formula Winter Series, with his new team US Racing, who would also partner him for the Italian F4 and Euro 4 seasons.[14] Beeton had a very successful two round stint in FWS, scoring 52 points and standing on the podium three times in five races.[15]
In Italian F4, in a season largely dominated by Freddie Slater, Beeton experienced a slow start to the season, but scored his first podium at the final race in Imola.[16] This was followed by a first pole in the next round in Vallelunga, which he followed up with second place.[17] AFter six more second places, Beeton finally broke his duck with a maiden Italian F4 win during the final race in Barcelona.[18] With a double podium in the Monza finale, Beeton would be classified second in the standings, having scored one win, two poles and ten podiums.[19] His Euro 4 campaign was less successful, as Beeton only yielded one podium in nine races, putting him eighth in the standings.[20]
Formula Regional
2025
In preparation for a full Formula Regional campaign, Beeton will contest in the Formula Regional Middle East Championship for Mumbai Falcons.[21]
Beeton is set to compete in the 2025 Formula Regional European Championship with Prema Racing, being partnered alongside his Italian F4 rival Freddie Slater.[22]
