Sri Lanka’s Rising Motorsport Star: Yevan David’s Journey to Glory

At just 17 years old, Yevan David is rewriting the script for Sri Lankan motorsport. With skill far beyond his years and an unshakable determination, he has already earned a place in the international racing spotlight. His recent achievements are not only personal triumphs—they represent a new chapter for Sri Lanka in the world of competitive racing.

Yevan’s passion for motorsport began early. What started with karting as a child quickly grew into a full-time pursuit of excellence. From local circuits in Sri Lanka, he advanced to global tracks, competing against some of the world’s most promising young drivers. Through hard work, discipline, and sheer talent, he rose through the ranks and proved he was ready for the big stage.

One of his most significant milestones came at Monza, one of Europe’s most historic racing venues. Competing in the Euroformula Open series, Yevan delivered a standout performance, winning a race under challenging, wet conditions. With that victory, he became the first Sri Lankan to claim a win in this prestigious formula category—a groundbreaking moment for both him and his country.

Racing under the Sri Lankan flag, Yevan proudly showcases his heritage on the international stage. His helmet, designed with the national lion symbol, is a constant reminder of where he comes from. Every podium he stands on is not just a personal success, but a moment of pride for an entire nation that’s beginning to dream bigger in the world of motorsport.

Yevan has now joined one of Europe’s top racing teams, Motopark, to compete in the full 2025 Euroformula Open season. This move gives him the opportunity to race on legendary tracks across the continent—each race another chance to sharpen his skills and inch closer to his ultimate goal: competing in Formula 1.

His journey is far from over, but the path he’s carving is already inspiring. For young Sri Lankans who once saw motorsport as a distant dream, Yevan David is proof that with talent, focus, and the right support, anything is possible. His rise is not just a personal story of success—it’s a symbol of a nation accelerating toward a future filled with possibility.
