Team founder Rob Austin grew up around motorsport and was in a rare and fortunate position to compete at the highest level possible for many years. He started racing karts at 11 and went on to many great achievements, to name just a handful of these… Youngest driver to win a national level motor car race, won the “ London Car Club Mercury Trophy” for most promising British driver, British Formula 3 race winner, British Formula 3 winter champion, top British driver at the Macau Grand Prix and he has raced wheel to wheel with nearly half of the current Formula one drivers at some point in their careers.

Sadly a lack of funding ended Rob's competitive racing career but this meant that Rob Austin Racing was born! Robs vast set up, mechanical engineering and driver coaching experience coupled with some great mechanics he's met along the way are all key to the teams fantastic growth and success in every category it has competed in over the years.
