Career

Perspective
Karting
Born in Cork, Allen started his karting career in 2011. He quickly proved his speed, competing for Ireland in the Karting World Championship in 2014 against the likes of Enaam Ahmed and Mick Schumacher. Allen once again raced for Ireland in the Karting World Championship in 2016, a year in which he also became Irish Karting Champion.[1]
Lower formulae
The Irish driver signed on with Fortec Motorsports to compete full-time in 2018.[2] Allen scored 29 points and finished 14th in the championship, whilst also making his F4 SEA Championship debut, scoring one podium in Sepang.
Allen fully committed to the F4 SEA Championship in 2019. Allen won the championship by one point to Finnish driver Elias Seppänen, with 640 points and twelve race victories to his name.[3]
Super Formula Lights
In January 2020, ALBIREX Racing announced that Allen would take part in the inaugural season of the Japanese Super Formula Lights series.[4] However, due to COVID-19 travel restrictions Allen was unable to compete in the first three rounds of the championship at Motegi, Okayama and Sportsland SUGO.[5] The Irishman made his series debut at Autopolis and scored a total of five points, helping him to finish 9th in the drivers' championship despite only participating in 3 rounds.
Endurance racing
In 2022, Allen made his first foray into endurance racing. Having originally been scheduled to drive for AF2 Motorsport in the Michelin Le Mans Cup,[6] Allen ended up competing in the Ultimate Cup Series for Graff Racing, racing in the Prototype Challenge. The Irishman won the championship in convincing fashion, having won five out of six races.[7] Allen would eventually return to the Le Mans Cup in 2023, driving alongside James Sweetnam for Graff.[8]
