Redondo Beach kart racer and PCA Juniors member JohnJohn McLellan, age 13, will return to Italy in June to compete in Round 3 of the WSK Euro Series.

Competing for Ward Racing in the OK-N Junior category, McLellan has already shown promising speed against deep international fields, including a P7 qualifying performance and multiple forward-moving heat race finishes earlier this season in Italy.

The WSK paddock has become one of the premier development grounds in world motorsport. The European karting pathway has helped develop generations of professional drivers, including Porsche factory racers such as Patrick Long, Pascal Wehrlein, and Felipe Nasr, all of whom advanced through high-level international karting before reaching the world stage.

McLellan also recently participated in the PCA-LA sim racing competition at the Porsche Experience Center Los Angeles (PECLA), staying connected with the local Porsche and PCA community ahead of his return to Europe.

Representing Zone 8 and the PCA Juniors community on the international stage, McLellan continues balancing major U.S. events with an expanding European schedule focused on long-term driver development.
