Career

Formula Ford

BRSCC National Formula Ford Championship

In 2020, Aron moved to the UK to compete with Low Dempsey Racing in the BRSCC National Formula Ford Championship.

In order to supplement the shortened race calendar, Low Dempsey Racing participated in a variety of additional series including the Champion of Brands, Champion of Cadwell and the majority of the Castle Combe Championship. Aron won the Champion of Cadwell. [3]

2020 Team USA Scholarship Winner

Aron was one of three winners of the highly coveted 2020 Team USA Scholarship. At the Formula Ford Festival Aron finished 3rd in the semi-final. In the final, Aron “ran strongly in third place until being elbowed down to fifth following a late-race Safety Car interruption.” [4] Aron then went on to the Walter Hayes Trophy, where out of 103 drivers he finished on the podium in 3rd place, [5] having been the 7th American to finish on the Walter Hayes Podium.
