Porsche Carrera Cup Australia
Pro
#12
Having never raced Go Karts, Harri raced Downhill Mountain Bikes at an International level before turning to 4 wheels.
He started his career in the Queensland Formula Ford Series in 2015. He then raced FF at national level in 2016/17 and moved up to 'wings and slicks' in 2018, campaigning in the MRF Challenge in Asia and Australian Formula 3, where he won the 2018 Australian F3 championship.
2019 was Harri's first season campaigning a 'tin top' with MR which culminated in him becoming the Porsche Michelin GT3 Cup Challenge (and Endurance series) champion, in his debut season. 2020 was his debut Porsche Carrera Cup season and after finishing 3rd in 2021, the second Covid-affected season, Harri became MR's third Porsche Carrera Cup Australia 'Pro' champion in 2022.
Following a stint competing across Europe and the Middle East in 2023, Harri returned home to secure a second Carrera Cup title in 2024. After finishing as 2025 runner-up, he returns to MR in 2026 focused on reclaiming the top step.
