Charlie Edge

Biography

Charlie has been part of Chris Dittmann Racing’s driver development programme since mid-2024, beginning with simulator work before progressing to on-track testing towards the end of the year, in preparation for this season.

The 15-year-old from Worcestershire began racing indoor karts three years ago and won the outdoor N35 Lightweights Daytona Championship in 2023, securing 15 podiums. This success led to a drive in the Daniel Ricciardo ‘DRS100’ Series at the end of that year and into 2024, competing across nine race weekends and achieving several top 10 finishes.

CDR have stated that Charlie has committed to a two-year programme with the team, and that his focus this season is on continuing his development and aiming for Rookie Cup podiums, with plans to make further strides in 2026.
