Eddie Cheever III

Edward Mackay Cheever III (born 5 June 1993) is an Italian-American racing driver who competes in the IMSA SportsCar Championship for Triarsi Competizione in the GTD class. He is the son of retired Formula One driver and 1998 Indianapolis 500 winner Eddie Cheever.

Born in Rome, Cheever began karting in 2006 and raced primarily in Europe for the majority of his karting career, working his way up from the junior ranks to progress through to the KF2 category by 2009 and finishing 15th in the CIK-FIA European Championship.

Cheever graduated to single-seaters in 2009. He competed with Jenzer Motorsport in the Swiss and Italian championships, finishing eleventh and fourteenth in the final standings, respectively.

In 2010, Cheever moved into the newly launched Formula Abarth series in Italy, staying with Jenzer Motorsport. He achieved a podium in the sprint race at Varano and finished the season eleventh.

In 2011, Cheever joined Lucidi Motors for a campaign in the Italian Formula Three Championship. He finished ninth with podiums at Misano, Adria and Mugello.

Cheever remained in the series in 2012 but switched to Prema Powerteam. He finished as runner-up to Riccardo Agostini in both the European and Italian championship formats.

On 9 November 2012, Cheever tested a Scuderia Ferrari Formula One car at Vallelunga, as a result of his performance in the Italian Formula Three Championship.

Cheever continued his collaboration with Prema Powerteam in FIA European Formula 3 Championship in 2013.
