Brittany Vorster is a former international Formula Three driver from South Africa. She showed some early promise, but her career stalled at Formula Three level.
She competed in single-seaters in South Africa in 2010, after travelling to Brazil for the first running of the Brazil Open. Her preparations for the event were the first time she had been in a Formula 3 car and she did not qualify. Her South African results are not forthcoming.
Prior to this, she raced in Formula GTi in South Africa, and was fifth in the 2008 championship after three podium finishes. She went to America late in the season to try out for the Skip Barber karting scholarship, which would have won her a season in Star Mazda in 2009. Her opponents included Conor Daly and Josef Newgarden.
Her first experiences in South America were the following year instead; she was part of a six-driver team for the Granja Viana 500 kart race. Among her rivals were Felipe Massa, Lucas di Grassi, Rubens Barrichello, Tony Kanaan and Ricardo Zonta. She and her team were 26th overall. Massa and di Grassi were part of the winning squad.
She apparently signed with the Prop Car team for the 2010 Formula 3 Sudamericana Lights championship, but it isn't clear how many races she actually did.
A serious accident at the end of the 2010 season meant that she decided to retire.
Before that, she was active on the karting scene, both nationally and internationally, from 2005. She won the Northern Regions Kart Club DD2 class championship in 2006. Away from motorsport, she was also a model.
Away from the track, she was a model and TV personality.
