Troy Ryder

Troy "Flash" Ryder was born in the US but has dual citizenship in Ireland due to both his parents being Irish. He grew up as more of an E-sports racer rather than an actual racer. He performed so well in E-sports though that it drew the attention of some of the junior formula teams. He was offered a seat in F3 at the age of 18, Where he won the title in his first attempt. Rather than moving up to F2 right away though, he was a test driver in F1 the following season.

His first season in F2 proved to be a good one, managing to finish top 5 constantly and winning both the feature and Sprint races at Silverstone, finishing 3rd in the championship.

His 2nd season in F2 showed just how much he had improved,  In addition to winning a few extra races compared to the previous year, he also formed strong friendships with both Petri Saukkonen and Dakota Sonoshee. While he ultimately finished behind the eventual F2 champion of Petri, his constant battles with Dakota won them the "rivalry of the season" award.

He has shown a ton of raw talent and can easily improve as he gets into the top tier.
