Early Career
Dan Ticktum had a promising junior career and finished second to Lando Norris in the 2013 CIK-FIA European karting championship, tied on points with the McLaren F1 driver.
Showcasing some impressive street racing credentials around the infamous blacktop that makes up the Macau Grand Prix, Ticktum won the event two years in a row in 2017 and 2018, beating Lando Norris and Callum Illot respectively. The Brit added his name to a short list of drivers to who have multiple times in Macau - a list that also features current Formula E winners Antonio Felix da Costa and Edoardo Mortara.
There was further success in the 2018 FIA Formula E European Championship, as Ticktum finished runner-up to Mick Schumacher.
Two seasons in the FIA Formula 2 Championship followed, a victory at home in Silverstone came in his rookie season with his best run in 2021 when the young Brit finished fourth in the standings - picking up three victories, including around the famous streets of Monaco.
Formula E
All-electric racing beckoned for Ticktum for the 2021/22 season as the Brit joined the NIO 333 team. In a baptism of fire, he pulled off some highlight performances with scoring his first point in Rome, impressing in qualifying in Monaco and reaching the Duels in the final race in Seoul.
Ticktum continued with NIO for Season 9 and the all-new GEN3 era as he looked to build on his learnings from his Formula E rookie season. He was partnered with Brazilian speedster Sergio Sette Camara and while he managed to show his speed on occasion, it was only enough to land him 17th in the Drivers’ Championship.
Season 10 saw the rebranded ERT outfit stick with Ticktum and Sette Camara for a second season. Both Ticktum and Sette Camara struggled with pace, but the British driver managed to put together a consistent race to come home in career best Formula E finish with P4 in the opening leg of the Misano double-header.
Now newly named Kiro Race Co, Ticktum is ambitious to make his mark in Season 11.
"It’s clear to me that Kiro Race Co is hungry, ambitious, and ready to make a statement in Formula E, and that’s exactly the kind of environment I thrive in as a racing driver"
