Career
Karting
Goddard began his racing career in karting at the age of fourteen and raced in his native Australia.[1]
Formula Ford
In 2009 he graduated to single–seaters into the Australian Formula Ford NSW Series, competing in the final three races.[1] For the next year, Goddard also competed in Formula Ford Victoria series in Australia. He finished this championship on the third place.[2]
Goddard decided to move in United Kingdom to contest in British Formula Ford Championship in 2011 with Jamun Racing.[3] He had nineteen point-scoring finishes in 24 races and finally finished tenth.[4]
Formula Three
In 2012, Goddard graduated to the Rookie Class of the British Formula 3 Championship, competing for ThreeBond with T-Sport.[5] Fellow Australian racer Duvashen Padayachee was his only rival in this, because only Goddard and Padayachee raced the season full-time. The other four drivers competed in less than half the season. Goddard took the championship title with 49-point advantage on Padayachee.[6]
Goddard will continue his collaboration for ThreeBond with T-Sport, competing in FIA European Formula Three Championship full-time in 2013.[7]
Toyota Racing Series
Goddard participated in the Toyota Racing Series in early 2013 with M2 Competition, finishing seventeenth in the championship, the lowest-placed of the drivers to contest the whole season.[8]
Formula One
Goddard paid for a test drive of the 2014 Force India F1 car on the second day of the post season test at Yas Marina Circuit, in Abu Dhabi. He had a "solid days running"<http://www.foxsports.com.au/motor-sport/formula-one/spike-goddard-enjoys-first-f1-test-in-abu-dhabi-logs-solid-days-running-with-force-india/story-e6frf3zl-1227136752317>
