The 18-year-old Kiwi is back home for an awesome summer of racing before jetting back to Europe for a big year in F3.

We spoke with him at Taupo International Motorsport Park ahead of round 2 of CTFROT - Toyota’s ultra competitive single seater series.

Louis won the opening race of the season last week as the Next Gen NZ Championship launched into four straight weeks of events.

Where he gets his inner drive (lets just say he’s very determined), how he’s framed an at times difficult season in 2025 and some thoughts on the year ahead with Prema.

Plus his adrenaline addiction and sky diving while he’s here with last week’s pod guest Ryan Wood.

Hope you enjoy getting to know a young racer with a great personality who would love to add his name to the prestigious list of winners of the New Zealand Grand Prix before he jets back out to Europe for the year.
