Young Tasmanian racing driver, Alex Peroni has turned his focus to 2022 in order to pursue exciting new opportunities in Europe. As a result, he will not take part in the last three rounds of the US-based Indy Lights championship.

“I’m looking forward to some exciting opportunities that 2022 has in store for me and a return to racing where I can mix it with the front runners,” Alex said. “This year hasn’t lived up to our expectations in racing performance, however I’ve really enjoyed visiting the US for the first time and living here for the past seven months. I’d like to thank all of the incredibly friendly and welcoming people in the US that I met on my journey. The warm welcomes I received at race events in particular were fantastic.

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank my incredible sponsors and supporters, particularly Blundstone, Richardson Devine Marine and the wonderful state of Tasmania and its great people who have done so much to help me get to where I am. I look forward to your support moving forward.

“I wish Carlin the best for their future in Indy Lights and I thank them for the opportunity provided to me this year. I’m also grateful to everyone involved in the ‘Road to Indy’ organisation who did so much to help me make the leap to US racing.”
