Career

Karting

Xie competed in karting across Europe and Asia from 2018 to 2021, though he often did not complete full seasons in Europe.[5] He finished third in the 2020 IAME Asia Cup in the junior class.[6]

Formula Renault

Xie made his car racing debut in the 2022 Formula Renault Super Challenge, driving for H-Star Racing.[7] Entering from the second round onwards, he took pole position and won both races with the fastest lap in his debut round,[8] and did the same again in the final and third round of the championship, taking the overall title, 32 points ahead of nearest rival Jason Wu.[9]

Formula 4

Xie competed in the 2022 F4 Chinese Championship with Smart Life Racing Team. He dominated the opening round at the Ningbo International Circuit, taking a double pole position and winning three of the four races, retiring from the fourth.[7] At the second round, also at Ningbo, he took another double pole and won all four races, with fastest lap in each.[10] After qualifying second behind Andy Chang,[11] he held off Charles Leong to win the opening race of the 2022 Macau Grand Prix (the third round of the championship),[12] and finished second in the main race, sealing the championship title in the process.[13] In the final round of the season at Pingtan Street Circuit, Xie again took double pole position and won all four races with the fastest lap in each,[14] to win the championship by over 160 points, the largest ever title-winning margin in a Chinese F4 season.[15]

GB3 Championship

On 13 February 2023, it was announced that Xie would drive for Hillspeed in the 2023 GB3 Championship alongside Daniel Mavlyutov, both drivers supported by the new Hitech GP Academy.[4][16]
