Career

Karting

Chloe Chong's karting experience started in 2013 at Buckmore Park Kart Circuit.[1] She debuted internationally in the Rotax Max Euro Trophy and in the IAME Ladies Cup in France in 2021.[2] In 2022, Chong was a finalist for the FIA Girls on Track - Rising Stars program, an FIA–sanctioned female talent detection program. The assessment included two days of testing in a Formula 4 car.[3]

Indian Racing League

In December 2023, Chong raced in two rounds of the Indian Racing League with the team Speed Demons Delhi.[4] She scored a 10th place finish in her second race, salvaging points with top-6 pace after a mistake left her two laps down.[5]

British F4

For the 2024 season, Chong moved to the F4 British Championship with JHR Developments.[6] She secured a best finish of 7th place at the Donington Park, with a total of 16 points at the end of the season.[7] She was awarded the Pirelli Hardest Charger Award for round six at Zandvoort, after making up a total of 25 positions over the three races.[8]

F1 Academy

On 15 March 2023, it was announced that Chong will compete in F1 Academy for Prema Racing.[9] She was the youngest driver in the inaugural season of the championship at the age of 16, and the only one making the jump from karting to cars.[10][11] She finished 14th of 15 drivers, scoring 25 points across 6 races.[12][13]

Chong returned to F1 Academy in 2025 for Rodin Motorsport and sponsored by Charlotte Tilbury.[14] During Miami Race 1, Chong was penalized with a three-place grid drop for causing a collision.[15] As of July 2025, she placed 11th, scoring a total of 11 points.[16]

Personal life

Chong was born on March 27, 2007 in Watford, United Kingdom to Canadian parents.[17][18] She is of Chinese descent, as her mother was born in China.[19]

She attended the Sevenoaks School in Kent, England, graduating in 2023.[20]
