Career
[edit]Karting
[edit]Ninovic mostly karted in Australia, winning the Australian Junior title in 2021 and the Australian Senior title in 2022.[3] He has a 77% podium rate in his home country.[2] This impressive karting form attracted Rodin Cars, who subsequently sponsored the driver on his step up to cars.
Formula 4
[edit]2023
[edit]In the early part of the year, Ninovic was announced to be competing in the 2023 F4 Spanish Championship with Rodin Carlin, who were to step into the championship as a new team.[4] He had an impressive season, beating fellow Aussie and experienced teammate Noah Lisle in the championship standings, and his other teammate Federico Al Rifai, in the championship standings.[5] He also managed to score Rodin Carlin's only podium of the season at Circuit Ricardo Tormo.[6]
2024
[edit]On 8 December 2023, it was confirmed that Ninovic would move from Spanish F4 to British F4 with Rodin Motorsport for the 2024 F4 British Championship.[7] His debut yielded some strong results, with a podium in the first race of the season and a pole position in the eventually cancelled race 3 at Donington Park.[8][9] He secured his first win at round 3 in Snetterton, winning both races one and three.[10][11] Ninovic had a very competitive season in the series, securing an impressive 18 podiums and five victories on his way to second in the standings, only behind Hitech Pulse-Eight driver Deagen Fairclough. He scored 357 points.[12]
GB3 Championship
[edit]In late 2024, Rodin Motorsport announced that Ninovic would be partaking in the 2025 GB3 Championship with the team, the series first season under its new chassis and engine package, the Tatuus MSV GB3-025.[13][14][15]
