Aron Shields

Aron Shields is a rising star in Australian motorsport, making a name for himself in the competitive Porsche Michelin Sprint Challenge Australia. The young Sydneysider has quickly established himself as a force to be reckoned with, showcasing impressive speed and racecraft. In 2023, driving for TekworkX Porsche, Shields demonstrated his potential by securing several wins and ultimately finishing as runner-up in the series, narrowly missing out on the championship title to Marco Giltrap. One highlight of the season was a remarkable enduro victory in South Australia, where a post-race penalty to another driver elevated Shields to the top step of the podium.

In 2024, Shields joined forces with DNA Autosport, a Sydney-based team, as part of a three-car team. Driving an orange GT3 Cup Car with backing from Astrontech, Paragon Group Services, and Jacque Fine Jewellery, Shields is determined to go one better and claim the Porsche Michelin Sprint Challenge Australia title. He started the 2024 season at Phillip Island, a track where he has previously tasted success, aiming to add to his tally of poles and race wins.

Shields' career is still in its early stages, but his talent and dedication suggest a promising future in motorsport. As a Porsche Michelin Junior, he is part of a development program that supports young drivers, providing them with the resources and opportunities to progress in their careers. With his sights set on the championship and a strong team behind him, Aron Shields is one to watch in the Australian racing scene.
