Callum Rennie Allan Hedge[1] (born 17 November 2003) is a New Zealand racing driver who last competed in the 2025 Indy NXT with Abel Motorsports.

A multiple-time national karting champion, Hedge won the 2017–18 NZ Formula 1600 Championship and the 2018–19 Toyota Finance 86 Championship before switching to sports car racing with Porsche in 2020.[2] He won the 2023 Formula Regional Americas Championship for Crosslink Kiwi Motorsports.[3][4] In the same year, he also won the Porsche Carrera Cup Australia championship.[5] Hedge attended St Kentigern College in Pakuranga, Auckland.

Formula Regional

In 2023, Hedge took part in the Formula Regional Oceania Championship, competing for M2 Competition.[6] Throughout the entire season, Hedge was embroiled in the title fight with teammate Charlie Wurz, with the two trading the championship lead often as the season progressed. He won the opening race of the season at Highlands,[7] but fell behind Wurz after finishing thirteenth in the feature race. Despite finishing second, first, and second in the three races at Teretonga, Wurz's pair of victories kept Hedge behind in the championship.[8] Hedge closed the gap during the Manfeild and Hampton Downs rounds, and just six points separated the two entering the final weekend at Taupo.[9] Hedge scored a victory in the opening race of the final weekend,[10] but fell behind in the final two races to finish second in the championship.

Formula Regional Americas

After the Oceania championship concluded, Hedge traveled to the United States to take part in the 2023 Formula Regional Americas Championship with Crosslink Kiwi Motorsports.[11]
