Ryan Briscoe began his racing career at just eleven years of age, when he took up karting in his native Australia back in 1993. He demonstrated his future potential with an awe-inspiring 2nd place in that year’s Junior Yamaha Australian Championship, and he hasn’t slowed down since. Ryan has raced through the ranks of motorsport, exhibiting lightning speed in Formula 1, Formula 3, A1GP, Grand-Am, and now IndyCar. He garnered seven podiums, four poles, and three wins in IndyCar in 2008, and kicked-off the 2009 IndyCar season with a thrilling win at the Honda Grand Prix of St. Petersburg. A championship contender all season, he finished 3rd in overall points in 2009.
