Australian Formula Ford Series

[edit | edit source]

In 2018, Horsten made his single-seater debut, competing in the Australian Formula Ford Series, taking three podiums and one fastest lap to finish ninth in the championship.

F4 British Championship

[edit | edit source]

In 2019, Horsten competed in British F4 with Arden where he achieved ten podium finishes, including his maiden victory in the second round at Donington Park.[1][2] This, along with a fastest lap at Knockhill meant the Australian finished fifth in the championship, three and four positions ahead of teammates Tommy Foster and Alex Connor respectively.[3][4]

BRDC British F3 Championship

[edit | edit source]

Horsten made a move to the BRDC British Formula 3 Championship for 2020, where he would compete with Lanan Racing, partnering Piers Prior and Josh Mason.[5] In the second race of the season, he achieved his first podium of the year along with a fastest lap at the Oulton Park Circuit.[6] Horsten picked up his best finish of second at Silverstone to take tenth place in the championship, beating both of his teammates.[7]

For 2021, Horsten announced that he would be returning to British F3, partnering Reece Ushijima and Sebastian Alvarez at Hitech GP.[8] He started his season off with two points finishes and a retirement, which came when fighting for the race lead with Brit Ayrton Simmons, at the Brands Hatch circuit. Horsten would score his first podium of the season in race 1 of the following round at Silverstone, setting the fastest lap in addition.[9] At the fourth round of the season, Horsten achieved two pole positions, but was unable to capitalise on his starting position, finishing races one and two in fifth and fourth.[10] Horsten would have to wait until the reversed-grid race at the sixth round of the campaign to score his second podium, finishing third after having started from ninth place on the grid.[11] After initial second-placed Branden Lee Oxley was disqualified for causing a collision, Horsten was promoted to second.[12] At the penultimate round at Oulton Park he would finish second in race two, closing the gap to his rivals in the fight for second place in the standings before the season finale at Donington Park.[13] Horsten would be unable to capitalize, ending up sixth in the standings.

BMW M2 Cup Germany

Horsten would make his first step into GT racing by competing in the 2022 BMW M2 Cup Germany, where he'd qualify second and take his first podium in the third round at the Nürburgring. The following race weekend at Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, Horsten would lead the second race before retiring after a collision however he'd bounce back at the Hockenheimring where following a car issue in qualifying and dropping to last at the start of the second race, he would drive through to third on track.

For 2023, Horsten returned to the BMW M2 Cup Germany taking fastest lap in both races at the season opener in Oschersleben and a third place finish. The next round he would lead the first race until a slow puncture caused him to retire with two laps to go but would respond with his first win in the series a day later. He'd then score podiums in the next three races including a victory in a rain shortened race at the Nurburgring. Horsten would maintain his consistency over the next few rounds to keep him in championship contention including recovering from a seventh place qualifying in Sachsenring to finish on the podium. At the final race of the year, he received a penalty for being involved in an incident on the final lap demoting him from second to eleventh, ultimately costing him second in the championship.
