Australian F3 Rookie of the Year
Karl Reindler (born 18 April 1985) is an Australian racing driver. He currently drives for Charlie Schwerkolt Racing as a co-driver alongside Lee Holdsworth in the Pirtek Enduro Cup series.
Off the back of winning Rookie of the Year in the 2003 Australian Formula 3 Championship, Reindler went on to win the 2004 Championship in the final round. At the completion of the 2004 season Reindler competed in his first international event, the one-off Bahrain F3 SuperPrix, racing for the Swiss Racing Team. He finished 18th in what was regarded at the time as the unofficial World Championship for Formula 3 - select drivers from this event went on to winning championships in Formula 1, WEC, DTM, Super GT and Super Formula to name a few.
Reindler moved to Britain in 2005 to complete a part-season of the British Formula 3 Championship with Alan Docking Racing, commencing at round 7 at Monza, Italy, finishing 7th and 10th on debut. A season best qualifying happened at the final round at the Silverstone Circuit, qualifying 6th and finishing 7th. At the conclusion of the 2005 season, Reindler qualified for and competed in the World-famous Macau Grand Prix, finishing 13th in a competitive field which included Sebastian Vettel, Robert Kubica, Romain Grosjean and eventual winner Lucas di Grassi. In 2006 he continued with the Alan Docking Racing squad in British F3, again, only completing part of the season and ultimately finishing 14th outright after a season littered with mechanical related retirements.
