Thaden is a 13-year-old Canadian race car driver who has already made international motorsport history. He is the youngest-ever driver to be licensed for and complete a sanctioned Formula 4–class race, and in his very next race, he set another world record as the youngest Formula 4 driver to podium in an official race.

Most recently, Thaden competed in the Skip Barber Shootout at Circuit of the Americas, where he tied for 3rd place and earned a $49,000 racing scholarship—an incredible achievement at such a young age.

He has also secured podium finishes in the Skip Barber Formula Race Series, competing against older and more experienced drivers, and continues to develop rapidly within the international motorsport pipeline.
