Career

[edit]

Karting

[edit]

Seewooruthun started karting in 2021, and made an immediate impact despite no prior experience. He won the English karting championship in the Rotax Junior category just a year into his karting career, which attracted interest from two Ginetta Junior Championship teams.[4]

Ginetta Junior Championship

[edit]

In 2023, Seewooruthun would participate in the Ginetta Junior Championship with 2022 title holders R Racing. On his second race weekend, Seewooruthun asserted himself as a driver to watch, scoring a podium in the second race of the weekend at Silverstone. Seewooruthun continued with a consistent season, only finishing outside the top ten on three occasions during the campaign. In round 7 at Brands Hatch, he completed the full sweep of victories, winning races one, two and three of the weekend as well as securing the two pole positions available.[5] In a long-fought battle for third place with Mikey Porter, Seewooruthun eventually finished 3rd in the standings with four victories to his name.[6][7]

Formula 4

[edit]

In late 2023, it was confirmed that Seewooruthun would be joining Hitech Pulse-Eight for two Formula 4 championships, the 2024 Formula 4 UAE Championship and the 2024 F4 British Championship.[8] He prepared for his year in British F4 with a spell in the UAE, which yielded an impressive podium finish in the wet at Yas Marina.[9] Seewooruthun finished 16th in the standings.[10] After his time in the UAE, he moved on to his full campaign in the F4 British Championship. He scored his first podium in the series at Brands Hatch in round 2, and secured his first victory at Thruxton two rounds later.[11][12] One more victory followed suit at Silverstone, as he scored a hatful of podiums on his way to another third-placed championship finish.[13][14] Seewooruthun also made one-off appearances over the course of 2024 in Formula 4, securing a best finish of 8th and a fastest lap, charging from 17th to 8th, in the Euro 4 Championship and also finishing 3rd in the FIA Motorsport Games, representing Team GB.[15][16]

GB3 Championship

[edit]

On 5 December 2024, it was announced that Seewooruthun would be making the step up to join the 2025 GB3 Championship, driving for Argenti with Prema.[17] 2025 is the first year of GB3's new chassis and engine package, the Tatuus MSV GB3-025.[18]
