Born in Bangalore, India, Dion Gowda’s racing career began at the young age of 9 with a visit to a Singaporean kart track, inspired by watching Formula 1 stars such as Lewis Hamilton on TV.

Dion quickly discovered a natural talent for driving in the Cadet (Mini 60) and Mini ROK categories of karting, and with the support of his family, moved to London to pursue his dream of becoming a Formula 1 driver himself.

In 2017, Dion took two podiums on his way to 4th overall in ROK Cup Singapore. Dion also competed in the X30 South East Asia Championship finishing 3rd in Round 3, before fighting in the top 10 of the X30 International Finals to round out the season.

Aged 14, Dion reached the pinnacle of the karting ladder with Ricky Flynn Motorsport, competing in the World Championship Karting and FIA Karting Academy Trophy, culminating in a pole position at Kristianstad, multiple race wins and fastest laps.

Dion joined WH Sports in 2022 to prepare for a debut FIA F4 racing season with Rodin Carlin. After showing promise in the UAE F4 winter series, Dion took the opening rounds of the 2023 ROKiT British F4 championship by storm with 2 race wins and 2 pole positions to date.

For 2024, Dion joins leading junior team PREMA Racing for the Italian F4 and Euro 4 Championships.
