Moffat, son of touring car legend
Allan Moffat, first appeared as a racing driver at club level before moving up to national level racing in a one-make series for
Lotus Elise production cars, finishing runner-up in a tight championship fight, before graduating into
V8 Utes in 2005. After a lean 2006, Moffat returned in 2007 in a
Sonic Motor Racing Services liveried
Mygale in the
Australian Formula Ford Championship and despite little previous open wheel experience finished third in the championship in his rookie season. With the same team Moffat progressed to the
Carrera Cup where he again ran at the front of the field, competing against his half-brother Andrew Moffat, among others. Co-inciding with the collapse of Carrera Cup, Moffat moved into Team Sonic's newly established
V8 Supercar program and finished second in the 2009 Fujitsu V8 Supercar series. At the season ending V8 Supercar prizegiving Moffat received the
Mike Kable Young Gun Award, recognition of his efforts as a first year V8 Supercar driver. In late January 2011,
Dick Johnson Racing announced the signing of Moffat to pilot the number 18 car vacated by the
HRT-bound
James Courtney. It was the first time in 22 years that the
Moffat name has competed in the top level of
Australian Touring Car racing. Moffat remained with DJR for the following year before joining
Kelly Racing as the team transitioned to
Nissan Motorsport racing
Nissan Altimas. Moffat quickly established himself within the new team, coming home first ahead of team-mate
Michael Caruso at Winton. His second placing with co-driver Taz Douglas at the
2014 Bathurst 1000 is his best finish to date at Mount Panorama—a remarkable achievement considering his Altima made contact with the tyre wall at the top of Mountain Straight on two occasions during the race. ==Career results==
