Caleb Hefren is an emerging racing driver from the Riverina, NSW with a clear ambition to build a professional career in motorsport.

My passion began watching V8 Supercars with my Pop before I cut my teeth in karting with my dad and brother. After stepping away for a few years, I worked hard to self-fund my return to racing and have steadily built momentum ever since.

Racing has always been about more than results — on track, I’m fiercely focused, but off track, I’m always there to support others, building a positive, mateship-driven culture in the sport. I’ve represented Wagga Kart Club in the Southern Star series (Karting NSW), served as a Series X3 NSW Committee Member, and competed in both the New South Wales and CERA National Series with the Circuit Excel Racing Association.

2025 marked my rookie year in the Toyota GAZOO Racing Scholarship Series in a Toyota 86, a crucial step in my development. In 2026, my sights are set firmly on moving up to the Toyota GR Cup, with the ultimate goal of building a pathway towards the Australian Supercars Championship.
