Zac Soutar

Zac Soutar is an Australian racing driver with a strong foundation in motorsport, cultivated from a young age. Growing up in Geelong, his passion ignited through his father, Shane Soutar, a former champion Sidecar racer. However, Zac chose four wheels over three, starting his racing journey with go-karts at age eleven. He quickly proved his talent, securing multiple state titles and consistently finishing in the top 5 of the Australian Kart Championship for three years straight.

In 2017, Zac and his father established Team Soutar Motorsport, entering the Australian Formula Ford Championship. His impressive results opened doors to the TCR Australia Touring Car Series in 2020. After a year without racing due to COVID-19 and a learning curve in 2021, Zac achieved his first TCR Australia victory in 2022. This win was especially significant as he and his team were the first privateer, non-factory-backed team to win in the series since its beginning in 2019. Since then, Zac has added three more wins and sixteen podiums to his name in the TCR Australia Series.

Zac's accomplishments are particularly noteworthy considering he competes against experienced, professional racing teams. In the Australian Formula Ford Championship, he achieved remarkable results, finishing 3rd in 2018 and narrowly missing the championship title in 2019 with a 2nd place finish. Outside of racing, Zac is a printing press operator and enjoys downhill mountain bike riding and jet skiing. He also works as a driving instructor with Evolve Driving.
