Vermillion Motorsports, a team on the rise in the Supercars arena, has found a gem in Zack Rattray-White. Despite being a relatively new face in the series, Zack has already demonstrated exceptional skill and composure behind the wheel, propelling himself to the forefront of the 2024 Qualifying Series.
With the Main Series grid for 2024 within tantalizing reach, Zack's performance has been nothing short of impressive. Currently positioned at P12 in the standings, he sits comfortably within the top 20 cutoff, marking a significant achievement for both himself and Vermillion Motorsports. The final race at Fuji looms large, presenting Zack with a chance to solidify his standing and cement his place among the elite drivers of the series.
Zack's journey to prominence reached a pivotal juncture at Hockenheim, where he delivered a breakout performance, crossing the finish line in an impressive P7, he showcased his ability to compete at the highest level, earning the respect of his peers and admirers alike. It was a statement race that underscored Zack's potential and hinted at even greater accomplishments on the horizon.
On his performance at Hockenheim for Round 3 Zach stated:
"By far one of the better races I’ve ever completed in the Supercar. Our strategy really made our race in the end, we knew when to fuel save and when to push. Our stops were really well executed. Overall a really good way to clap back at a mediocre round at Magny Cours due to a wheel disconnect."
It has been a fast start for Zach in Supercar competition who has only been actively working on his craft in these unique cars for a seemingly short amount of time.
"Started driving the Supercar competitively in late 2022 [...] In 2023 I started to get a decent tempo with the car and started to understand it a bit more in the setup department scoring some solid finishes. Then in late 2023, I joined Vermillion Motorsports and yeah, our V8 program now is doing alright."
Vermillion Motorsporst has shown a strong presence so far in the Qualifying Series with Jacob O'Reilly and Connor Nixon both also showing some competitive pace to this point. When asked about how the team has helped him in the Qualifying Series Zack commented:
"Just good vibes, not much more than that really. We put in a lot of practice and really push each other, but at the same time we don’t try to take it too far and make it a painful process. Overall just a lovely bunch of people that I really get along with. Very happy that I can say this is my home for now in the sim racing world."
