Deven Grabko Signs with KEDA Motorsport

🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨

Deven Lewis Grabko graduates from karting to single seater formula racing as KEDA Motorsport sign the talented young racer for next season!

Grabko will race for the Danish squad in the Aquila Formula 1000 Championship in 2025.

The young Swedish-American pilot only turned 13 in December, but comes off the back of a monumental 2024 season in karting, which saw him claim multiple race wins, take two Swedish national championship titles, victory at the Gothenburg Grand Prix, as well as a call up to the US national team to compete in the FIA Motorsport Games. 

KEDA Motorsport, founded by multiple championship winning driver Kevin Suenson, won the race to secure the full time services of the promising junior talent as their first confirmed driver signing for the coming season.

The Nordic Aquila Formula 1000 Championship is Scandinavia’s premier introductory formula racing series. It has been developed to be the best and most effective development platform for talented new and young drivers. Utilising a complete race weekend format, and offering a prestigious championship where an official junior national title is up for grabs, Aquila Formula 1000 offers an ideal environment for all aspects of driver development. Each round contains free practice, qualifying, and 3 full length races at each round of the championship. Aquila Formula 1000 is one of the only introductory single seater championships of its kind in Europe, providing one of the best development platforms anywhere for drivers aspiring to climb into higher single-seater or GT/touring categories.

I’m super excited! Ever since I tested the car last Spring I’ve been thinking about it, and to get the opportunity to race in it for real this season is like a dream come true! It is a huge step, but I am ready, and am going to do everything I can to develop and learn as fast as possible and repay Kevin and the whole team for putting their trust in me.”

We’ve had our eye on Dev for a while now, and are extremely happy to welcome him to the team as our first driver signing. After seeing him test at the Aquila Driver Academy International last year we were already convinced. We are sure he will adapt well from karting, and are really looking forward to working with him and developing him as a driver.”

We are really happy for Deven to take this important step in his career at such a young age. He showed last year he has the talent and determination of a true champion, and can go far in this sport. The Aquila Formula 1000 Championship is a perfect platform for him to make the transition from karting into single seater racing and develop his skills. We are sure that Deven is in great hands with Kevin at KEDA Motorsport. Everybody should keep an eye on this pilot, he is going places.”
