One of the UK’s up and coming racing drivers, Zak O’Sullivan, is to be sponsored by a high profile agency.

The 20-year-old, from Withington, near Cheltenham, is this year racing in Super Formula in Japan – a category which has seen numerous drivers graduate eventually to Formula One – alongside a simulator role testing for Envision Racing in Formula E.

O’Sullivan has been sponsored by Winkworth for some years and this continues in 2025. 

The sponsorship began with Shepherd’s Bush franchisee Carl Burgess, who handed over to Rupal and Ravi Patel when they took over as franchisees of the office in 2022.

Rupal Patel says: “Zak’s talent has been clear from a very young age and it’s been a fantastic journey seeing him carry the Winkworth brand from UK motorsport to the global stage. We’re delighted to be partnering with Zak and his family again in 2025 as he takes on two very different challenges in Super Formula and Formula E. We wish him every success for the upcoming season.”

O’Sullivan himself adds: “It’s no secret that I faced many challenges to raise the budget to go racing in 2024, which is why the continued support of Winkworth has been invaluable in my career. I’ve built up a great relationship with the Winkworth team at Shepherd’s Bush and across the wider network, and I’m looking forward to working with them again in 2025.”

Zak makes his Formula E debut in the series’ rookie test in Jeddah this week before heading to Suzuka for the pre-season Super Formula test next week.
