2012 was a breakthrough year for teenage racing driver Tristan Nunez. From the looks of things, 2013 will far surpass 2012.

Shortly before his 17th birthday, the Florida teen became the world’s youngest sports car champion, dominating the 2012 IMSA Prototypes Lites season. A few days later he became an international champion by beating the world’s best Formula Ford drivers at the Walter Hayes Memorial in England. Two months later, he drove in his first endurance race, the 25 Hours of Thunderhill.
