Ellis believes the rewards of being first far outweigh the risks, proving it when his family left the US during a global pandemic in 2020 to pursue his singular passion for motorsport.
With a start in indoor karting & sim racing, Ellis is a 20 year old American racing driver paving an untraditional path. The first in the world to prioritize electric motorsport, his active role as an advocate, ambassador and development driver for multiple prototype projects sets him above the rest. Named an EVie Under 30 Star, a nominee for the inaugural BBC Green Sports Young Athlete of the Year Award, a member of EcoAthletes and High Impact Athletes, Ellis is confident and charismatic on stage and on track, bringing a fresh attitude to a legacy sport.
Through media, education & metaverse initiatives he is doubling down, leading a new generation that will transform education, the economy, and sustainability through innovation. With his RC Car and Roblox STEM education platforms, he's leveraging the excitement of motorsport to engage young people around the world.
Having driven 44 different race vehicles since his start in the sport 6 years ago, Ellis has covered the circuit and the dirt, single seater, touring car and rallycross and more. He intends to become the most versatile driver in the world, and put on a show doing it.
Ellysium Racing will become the next legacy brand in motorsport, inspiring curiosity and critical thinking for the next generation of thinkers, doers & leaders.
