🇺🇸 Christian Brooks

Christian Brooks is a professional racing driver competing in American single-seater championships. He holds an FIA Silver rating, placing him among drivers developing toward the full-professional grades in endurance and sportscar racing. His primary current ride is with HMD Motorsports in Indy NXT; he also ran the 2024 USF Pro 2000 Championship for Pabst Racing and has raced Formula Regional Americas in 2025.[1]

Brooks has contested 37 starts across twelve seasons since 2012, taking two wins and six podiums. His most substantial campaign came in USF Pro 2000, where he finished sixth in the championship standings with four podiums across a full season. In 2024 he drove eight rounds for HMD Motorsports in Indy NXT while continuing to race USF Pro 2000 concurrently. His indexed career began with karting entries in SKUSA SuperNationals between 2012 and 2021, spanning three separate kart classes; he moved to the national open-wheel ladder through Indy Pro 2000 in 2021 before stepping up to USF Pro 2000 and eventually Indy NXT. In 2025 he began competing in Formula Regional Americas, taking both his career wins to date in that series' opening rounds.[2]

Brooks races in fields mixing amateurs and semi-professionals with graded professionals; within that company he is usually ahead of fellow entry-level professional Braden Eves and closely matched with Ricardo Escotto, a driver who has stepped up to Formula 3. His most notable scalps are finishes ahead of Pato O'Ward, an elite professional and two-time champion, and established professional Rinus VeeKay, both accomplished drivers with substantial IndyCar experience. His wins have come against a competitive field in Formula Regional Americas.
