Karting

Born in Johannesburg, de Beer began karting in 1999 and raced primarily in his native South Africa for the majority of his karting career, working his way up from the junior ranks to progress through to the Rotax Max category by 2010, and ultimately, winning the ROK Cup International Final.

[5] But after three rounds he ended his racing season with a podium at Misano. He finished the season eleventh in the Italian championship standings. [6]

Italian Formula Three

In 2012 De Beer continued his collaboration with Scuderia Victoria into the Italian Formula Three Championship. [7] He finished the season twelfth in the Italian championship standings.
