Garrett Lowe

On Track Summary

Lowe, an experienced and accomplished real-life Bandolero and Legends driver, quickly adapted to the Radical SR1, showcasing his impressive ability to acclimate to a new car and track during his third full session, which was the qualifying round on day two. On day one, he consistently competed in the top half of the field, just half a second off the fastest drivers. However, when qualifying arrived on the morning of day two, with the pressure on, Lowe surged past the entire field, surpassing the second-fastest driver by 0.2 seconds and securing pole position. This achievement earned him a bye in the first round later that afternoon. As temperatures hovered around 40 degrees, Lowe faced off against one of Mazda Motorsports' fastest grassroots racers, Nathan Saxon, in a five-lap sprint, where Saxon edged out Lowe in each lap. Could the outcome have been different had Lowe not had the bye? Expectations are high for Lowe to contend for podiums and victories in the upcoming season.

Off-Track Summary

Lowe is calculated, both on and off the track. His methodical and analytical approach makes him difficult to shake, exhibiting an even temperament and reserved nature that will help him gain positions during races. However, this same demeanor may hinder his interactions with the media, sponsors, and fans. To achieve stardom, Lowe will need to win races, and winning is precisely what TC Racing wants, which is why they selected him 16th overall.
