Biography

Barbados-born but a resident of the British overseas territory of the Cayman Islands, Simpson made his car racing debut in 2020 for Velocity Racing Development in the US Formula 4 Championship after 9 years of karting across the Caribbean.[4] He twinned this with a Formula Regional Americas Championship campaign, and dominated the championship in his second season with podiums in all but five races.[5] His Regional F3 success also opened the door to join the Road to Indy ladder with former IndyCar team Juncos Racing.[6]
