During his F1 career, he raced from 1992 to 2008 for Garland, Orchid, Raamaker, and Phaeton - the latter of which he won the majority of his championships with.

Early life and career
Augustus Tertullius was born to a patrician family in Wennavua, in the Empire of Exponent.Tertullius' father, Marcellus, was the owner of a local karting track and provided Augustus with his very first motorized go-kart when he was just five years old.
By his early teenage years, Tertullius was actively competing in karting races across Hesperidesia, securing his first every championship win at the age of fourteen by capturing the Charvonian Karting Cup for the U-16 division.
By 1987, Tertullius began entering into his first single-engine car races before signing up for Formula 3 races the following year. Funded heavily by his father as well as F3 promoter Marius Redwall, Tertullius competed in the Hesperidesian F3 circuit and captured the title in 1989.
Following his successful 1989 title run, Tertullius attracted the attention of Raamaker, who offered him a sponsorship and invited him to join Formula Raamaker in 1990. During the same period, Tertullius also entered into the Lorecian Sports Car Circuit, regularly performing towards the top-middle of the pack - including a 4th place position in the grueling 24 hour endurance race in Saint Moritz.
