A note to my younger & future self
You’ve spent 14 years chasing speed, but the real race has always been with yourself. Remember success isn’t defined by podiums or medals, but by how hard you work, how true you stay, and how much heart you give. Be grateful for those who never stopped believing in you, your loved ones, your partners, your team. They’re the reason you keep moving forward
. Keep building something bigger than wins, a journey driven by passion, humility, and purpose.
Early Years and Karting
Max’s journey started in karting in 2011 in cadet karts where Max’s brother and himself participated on and off for the full year, unfortunately that was to be all the karting the pair would do competitively.

Formula Vee and Leastone Racing
Max began racing Formula Vee in 2017 at age 16. In 2018, he dominated with Leastone Racing, winning the Star of Tomorrow Championship (8 wins from 12) and earning a funded Leastone 1000 race at Brands Hatch, finishing P2. In 2019, he raced the Leastone 1000 full-time, taking multiple wins and podiums to finish runner-up, and was a Motorsport Ireland Young Driver of the Year finalist.

Formula 3 & 4
After having a great year, he was given the chance to race F4 in South East Asia at the Formula 1 track in Sepang. With no testing on the 4 race weekend it was all new to Max and suffering mechanical faults in the first 3 races Max managed to get himself a podium in the last race. To finish 2019 off Max was given the chance to test an F3 car at Silverstone F1 circuit thanks to Martin Daly.

Entry into TCR
In 2020, Max received an opportunity from Maximum Motorsport to test a Seat Cupra TCR at Oulton Park, which went very well and led him to switch from single-seaters to touring cars that year. It proved a great decision, as he achieved seven podiums from seven races and one win in his debut season.

Present
In 2023, Max joined Hyundai as a Junior Factory Driver, won the Macau Grand Prix, and delivered the best-ever TCR China campaign by an Irish driver. The following year, he finished 3rd in TCR Asia with three wins and became the first Irish driver to compete in World TCR. In 2025, he made history again with multiple wins, fastest laps, and a lap record in European TCR. Max now aims to keep climbing the ranks, competing at the highest level, and becoming the biggest name and driver in TCR worldwide.
