Biography

O'Keeffe started his career in karting before making his car-racing debut in the Victorian-based Porsche 944 Challenge in 2014.[2]

Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge

O'Keeffe competed in the Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge in 2015, driving for Ashley Seward Motorsport. He finished second overall in the standings[3] with one race win and 12 top-three finishes.

Porsche Carrera Cup

He finished sixth in the 2017 series standings.

O'Keeffe's final full season in Carrera Cup was in 2018. After recording his first race win at Sydney Motorsport Park and maiden round win at Darwin, O'Keeffe finished third in the standings.
