From Maui to the World Stage.
Aloha. I’m Judah Du Bois—a karting driver born and raised in Maui, Hawai‘i.
Most kids at my age are probably doing normal stuff after school. I’m usually thinking about racing lines, tyre wear, or how expensive everything is going to be this week.
I started karting in 2023, and since then it’s been a mix of learning and realizing very quickly that “local racing scene” and “Hawai'i” don’t really belong in the same sentence.
My home track, Pu‘unene Karting Circuit, hasn’t really had official races since 2015. So if I want proper competition, I have to travel to the United States. Which is fun… until you see the travel costs, then it's extremely unhelpful...
Still, I show up whenever I can and try to learn as much as possible every time I’m on track.
Most of my racing ends up being trips to the United States, where I show up, try to learn everything in about 3 hours, and then immediately get thrown into qualifying.
My goal is pretty simple:
FIA Karting → Formula 1
I know it sounds insane when I type it out right now, but I’d rather aim too high than not aim at all.
I'm also aware that everyone in karting says something like that at some point. The difference is I’m actually from a place where just getting to the starting grid takes more planning than the race itself.
Sir Lewis Hamilton inspires me every day to work hard and dream big. Not just because of what he’s achieved, but because of where he started and how far he had to push to get there. That kind of story hits different when you’re like me, trying to build your own path with limited resources and a lot of travel just to get seat time.
It also matters to me that he’s also a driver of colour in a sport that hasn’t always made space for that. Seeing someone like that succeed makes the whole thing feel a bit less out of reach.
He’s a big part of why I take this seriously. If you're passionate about motorsport or want to support a determined underdog, please subscribe, share my journey, and help spread the word! Mahalo for your support as I drive towards the pinnacle of racing.
Motor racing is one of those sports where you can be “doing well” and still basically be negotiating with your bank account every weekend.
So if you’re supporting me, you’re not really “donating to a dream” so much as keeping the whole thing moving so I can keep showing up and racing people who’ve probably had this as their full-time life since age 3.

I was lapping up to 3 tenths faster then every shifter kart except one.
My first ever official race, this one was a crazy one to watch!
This is the event where I gained my Maiden Pole Position by 0.013s!
This is where I blew my engine, got my maiden podium, and collided with an Arch Rival!
