Charlie Kimball Facts

Born in Chertsey, England, he was primarily raised in the United States after his family had emigrated there and settled in Camarillo, California.

He had started his single-seater career in 2002 with the American Formula Dodge national championship and came into the spotlight in 2003 when he had finished 3rd in the Formula Ford US series with 2 wins and 7 podium finishes. He had also stood 3rd in the 2003 UK Formula Ford Winter series, 4th in the 2004 UK Formula Ford championship, and 2nd in the 2005 British Formula 3 Championship.

Midway through the 2007 season, when he was competing in the Formula Renault 3.5 Series, he took a break from his racing career after he was diagnosed with the onset of Type 1 diabetes. He returned to racing in 2008 wearing a wireless blood sugar monitor and carrying sugar water in the car while racing. He earned a podium finish in his very first race upon return.

In 2011, when he first joined the competition, he was the first licensed driver with diabetes in the history of the IndyCar Series.
