Callum Zizek

Name: Callum Zizek

Resides: Launceston, TAS

Age: 17 years

Callum is a passionate motorsport enthusiast, and despite being only 17 years of age has had a long motorsport career already.

Beginning his career in a go kart at age 9, Callum won many champoinships and competed on the Australian mainland in several race meetings during a successful 7 year stint. In November 2010, Callum was offered the opportunity to drive a Sprintcar, an opportunity he couldn't refuse.

Since that impressive debut, Callum has achieved consistent top 5 finishes in A Main feature races and even an appearance on the podium. During his second season piloting the T10 sprintcar, Zizek has worked tirelessly with his team to improve, an effort that saw him climb to 3rd place in the Farmers Union Iced Coffee Sprintcar Series at the end of 2011.

In the new year, Zizek travelled to the Sprintcar Classic, the Australian Sprintcar Title, the President's Cup and the King's Challenge.  The youngster hopes competing against the best will help him improve his race craft and will be learning from the best.

Callum hopes to use his time as a 2012 Speedway Australia Rising Star to further his racing career by capitalising on the support and networking opportunities he will receive, which in turn will help him reach his goal of competing on the World of Outlaws circuit.
