It has been a successful start to 2019 for Herta, who at just 19 years old became the youngest ever winner of an IndyCar race at Circuit of the Americas with Harding Steinbrenner Racing. Herta also took a class win in the Daytona 24 hours for BMW Team Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing, whom he also races for in the IMSA SportsCar Championship.
Herta started his career in junior single seaters racing in the USF200 championship, before switching to Europe to race in BRDC F3 and the F3 Masters race at Zandvoort.
After a successful few seasons, Herta returned to the US to compete in the Road to Indy series Indy Lights, where he took four wins and 13 podiums to finish as runner up in 2018.
