Emerson Newton-John, nephew of Olivia Newton-John, is set to race in the 2024 Radical Cup North America program. He left England to live in Los Angeles and began his racing career at 16, excelling in karting and the Skip Barber Formula Dodge series. He had success in the French Renault Megane Cup and was poised to race in Champ Car in 2002 before the events of September 11th halted his plans. After over a decade away from racing, Newton-John returned to the cockpit in 2012 for the Freedom 100 race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Impressed by his skill, APEX Motor Club offered him the chance to test their Radical SR10, and he was the fastest they had seen in only a few laps. Excited and confident, Newton-John has announced his intent to return to motorsports with the Radical Cup North America in 2024.
