Career
Early career
A multiple Victorian karting champion, Golding moved into the Victorian Formula Ford championship in 2013, finishing fourth. He then stepped up to the national series in 2014, where he finished third despite only being eight points shy of the overall winner, Thomas Randle.
Supercars
Golding caught the attention of Garry Rogers, who signed him into his Dunlop Series team for the 2015 season. In his debut season, he finished tenth in the overall standings, beating season regulars such as Aaren Russell and Paul Morris, as well as other rising talents like Macauley Jones.
In 2016, Golding was drafted into the main series for the endurance events, driving alongside James Moffat in the Volvo S60. In his debut race, the 2016 Wilson Security Sandown 500, Golding crashed heavily on the first lap after the front right tyre deflated at high speed.
At the 2025 Bathurst 1000, Golding crossed the line first, but was dropped down to third after being handed a five second penalty for a driving infringement on Cooper Murray, giving the win to Matt Payne and Garth Tander.
