Lochie Hughes will step up from the USF2000 series where he placed third in the 2023 championship to racing at the next level of the USF Championships ladder with the Turn 3 Motorsports team.
“I’m very excited to be joining Turn 3 Motorsport for the 2024 USF Pro 2000 season,” Hughes said. “We’ve been testing this month to prepare for the season which has gone really well so far. Turn 3 has a very strong program in place and has won a lot of races in the past, so I’m looking forward to getting the season underway in St. Petersburg soon.”
The young Australian showed a lot of talent and determination during the USF2000 season where he earned eight podiums and four victories with the Jay Howard Driver Development team.
“Lochie is a driver we have really enjoyed watching over the past few seasons,” said Turn 3 team owner Peter Dempsey. “He has always had raw speed, and his results have proven that. To have this caliber of driver in our program for the 2024 season will only help drive the entire team forward. We have been enjoying our short time working together so far, but the serious stuff is about to start, and we are all fully focused on maximizing the season. I can’t wait to get going for an exciting season with all of our drivers.”
