Harry Tincknell was born on October 5, 1991, in Exeter, England. Like many British racing drivers, he began his career in karting, where he demonstrated his motorsport talent early on and attracted the attention of junior programs. The transition from karts to racing circuits proceeded logically and laid the foundation for an international career that would eventually lead him through the classic junior formula series to the World Endurance Championship.
After early successes in British formula racing series, Tincknell gradually found his way through GT3 programs into sportscar racing, where his driving skills truly paid off. The transition from formula racing to the endurance racing sport was a logical step for him, as consistency, teamwork, and technical understanding are just as important as pure driving talent. Through various stints in GT and prototype classes, he eventually earned his place in the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC), where he became a familiar name in the driver lineup.
Among the greatest achievements of his career are multiple podium finishes and class victories in the FIA WEC, including at the prestigious 24 Hours of Le Mans, where he established himself over the years as a reliable and quick pilot in the prototype category. His time with renowned factory teams, including stints for Mazda in the North American endurance racing scene as well as later engagements in the WEC, underline his versatility and his ability to perform in different vehicle classes and team structures.
In the 2026 season, Harry Tincknell competes again in the FIA WEC, where he represents his team in the Hypercar class and fights for top placings alongside his teammates. The goal is to build on the strong performances of previous years and continue to present himself as a consistent factor in the fiercely competitive field of factory teams. For the upcoming races, especially the great classics of the season, Tincknell is regarded as an experienced veteran from whom both his team and fans expect strong performances.
