Skip Barber Racing School proudly announces that Lincoln Day will compete full-time in the 2023 Skip Barber Formula Race Series season. The 16-year-old Wyoming native will make his first racing start with the Skip Barber Formula Race Series after competing in sim racing and completing many track days.
Day is a recent Skip Barber Racing School graduate, completing his 3-Day Formula Racing School at Circuit of The Americas in December of last year. He then returned to Austin, Texas, and completed his 2-Day Advanced Formula Racing School earlier this month. When asked what track he looks forward to the most this year, Day points to Circuit of The Americas, home of the United States Grand Prix, where one of Day’s racing idols, Kimi Raikkonen, had his final win in Formula 1.
“My short-term goal for the year is to win a race in the Skip Barber Formula Race Series,” Day said. “In the long run, I hope to one day be competing in WEC.”
Although Day hasn’t made his first pro start, he has track day experience behind the wheel of a diverse fleet of cars, including Porsche GT4 Clubsport, Radical SR3XX, and Formula 3 cars. Day hopes to be able to transfer his track time to the Skip Barber Formula car and be a contender for the 2023 Skip Barber Formula Race Series championship.
