Career

Ginetta Junior Championship

Foster made his car racing debut in the final three meetings of the 2017 Ginetta Junior Championship, driving with Elite Motorsport. He then competed in that year’s Ginetta Junior Winter Series.
He returned to the championship in 2018 and was a persistent title contender throughout the season. Foster claimed 19 podiums, of which 9 were victories plus four pole positions and two fastest laps on his way to second place in the championship. He scored the most points of any driver but lost out on the title by just eight points to teammate Adam Smalley after dropped scores were accounted for.
During the campaign, Foster accrued several records; the first rookie to win three races in one weekend, the first driver to win five races in succession and the youngest driver to score an outright victory.

F4 British Championship

Following his successful stint in Ginetta Juniors, Foster moved to single-seaters when he joined Double R Racing for the 2019 F4 British Championship certified by FIA, powered by Ford EcoBoost season.
Foster was immediately on the pace, taking victory in only the second race of the season. He followed that with a sublime weekend in Donington, winning two races and scoring a third place finish in the other to give him a 17 point lead in the championship table.
Across the rest of the season, Foster accrued another three wins and nine podium finishes - dominating at Silverstone – to finish the year third in the championship, remaining in the title hunt until the season finale weekend at Brands Hatch.

BRDC F3 Championship

For 2020, Foster graduated to the BRDC British F3 Championship, remaining with Double R Racing.
The opening round at Oulton Park, scheduled for 11 and 13 April, was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
