FULL BIO: Chloe Chambers
Chloe Chambers is a groundbreaking American racing driver who made history as the first woman to win in the Formula Regional Oceania Championship and has recently joined the Red Bull Ford Academy Programme for the 2025 F1 Academy season.
EARLY YEARS
Born on June 14, 2004, in China, Chloe was adopted at 11 months old by Americans Matthew and Shannon Chambers from Monroe, New York. Her racing journey began when she was just 7 years old, after being influenced by her father’s weekend autocross and track days. On an unseasonably warm November day, she took her first kart lesson and immediately fell in love with racing. The family made karting a true family affair—traveling to tracks in their RV with her father serving as her tuner while her mother and siblings, Emma and Oliver (also adopted from China and Ethiopia respectively), cheered from the sidelines.
EARLY SUCCESS
At just 8 years old, Chloe demonstrated her natural talent by winning the Kid Kart Championship in her first year of racing at Oakland Valley Race Park in New York. Her karting career continued to flourish as she competed in various regional and national events, including the Rotax Micro, Mini, and Junior Max categories. A significant milestone came in 2019 when she finished 3rd in the SKUSA Super Nationals against more than 80 of the world’s best drivers. In 2020, she moved up to the senior class and immediately claimed victory in her first national race in the ROK Senior category at the WKA Grand National Championship.
