About Robert Soroka
Robert Soroka is a 17-year-old rising star, currently competing in the F4 US Championship with Jay Howard Driver Development. Robert got his start in motorsports later than most racing prodigies. In 2015, he began his career as a 13-year-old. Since his inaugural start, Robert’s natural talent has given him the ability to accelerate his career through some of the highest karting ranks in North America.
Soroka’s innate ability to learn quickly continued to prove invaluable as he entered his breakout season in 2018. He graduated to the ultracompetitive ROK Sr. division, winning the first event and dominating many national events in both Canada and the United States. He won the overall championships in both the Toronto Racing Association of Karters (TRAK) and the Mosport International Karting Association (MIKA) series. His success on his home soil continued with multiple national level PFAFF KartSport Cup series event wins and achieving Vice-Champion in the national series Ron Fellows Karting Challenge (CRFKC). Robert also competed in various prestigious, internationally recognized US series and events, including the Florida Winter Tour, SKUSA SummerNationals, and ROK the RIO in Las Vegas. These events provided Robert with immeasurable exposure and experience, proven by a mid-season offer to test a Formula 4 (F4) car for Jay Driver Development (JHDD). In late 2018, JHDD confirmed that Soroka would be running a full F4 US Championship season with the team.
With a long list of podium results and race wins as proof of his abilities, Robert is well-equipped to advance his motorsports career to the next level this year. He will continue to race karts with the intention of graduating to the ROK Shifter division. The ultimate goal for his 2019 season is to compete for the F4 championship and work towards graduating to the European F3 series in 2020. Robert is eagerly anticipating a year full of learning and success in 2019.
