In late September, CAMS revealed Australia’s representatives for the inaugural FIA Motorsport Games to take place in Rome next month. Ahead of the international competition, cams.com.au looks at the four representatives in a three-part profile series.

There will be a lot of drivers around the world heading to this year’s FIA Motorsport Games full of confidence and Luis Leeds will be one of them.

The Victorian has enjoyed a stellar year on the track after taking out the CAMS PAYCE Australian Formula 4 Championship in style, starting out with a round victory at the Formula 1 Rolex Australian Grand Prix 2019. 

Leeds carried his Albert Park momentum throughout the year to dominate the championship and storm home to a maiden title with a round still remaining.

It was a case of third time lucky for Leeds who took home the title during his third stint in the championship, but it wasn’t the only time he enjoyed success.

The former Red Bull Junior driver picked up three wins and 11 podiums during a successful year in the F4 British Championship, ending a memorable season in third place. 

Leeds then made his way back home where he held his own in the 2018 Porsche Michelin GT3 Cup Challenge.Now, having his best local season yet, Leeds will enter the world stage with a point to prove and to continue working his way towards his Formula 1 dream.

"It’s an honour to have this opportunity," Leeds said.

"Every day before school I’ve been training in the gym and on the simulator just so I can make sure I bring my A game to the event. 

“We have the best junior talent from all over the world competing and fighting like animals just to win this race, and I’ll be doing absolutely everything I can to make sure it’s me holding up the trophy on that top step.

"I hope all of Australia can actually embrace us and give us the support we need to succeed. At the end of the day, we are the athletes putting every minute of our lives into trying to be the next Formula 1 World Champion for our countries.

"I’m in it to win it, not just for me but for all my family, friends and fans. This is more than just a race, this is an opportunity I’ve been dreaming about, just to get out there in front of the global motor sport community and show what I can do, this is my life.
