Tom Fleming was born on March 14, 1996 in Bristol and grew up in a family that has always been connected to motorsport. His father operated a small kart workshop, so Fleming was already turning laps at local karting tracks as a six-year-old. This early influence awakened an ambition that carried him through numerous British kart championships in the following years and laid the foundation for his later career.
After successful years in karting, Fleming switched to formula classes and gained important experience there that gradually brought him closer to GT racing. Through various junior series, he eventually gained access to GT3 vehicles, where his consistent and smooth driving style quickly stood out. This path opened the door for him to the FIA WEC, where he joined as a factory driver for a European team and quickly established himself as a reliable factor in the driver lineup.
Among the greatest successes of his career so far is Fleming’s class victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans 2022, which he celebrated with his team at the time. In 2023 as well, he showed strong performances and contributed significantly to his team’s overall success with consistent podium finishes in the FIA WEC. These results solidified his reputation as one of the most reliable pilots in international endurance racing and opened doors to more prestigious cockpits.
In the 2026 season, Tom Fleming competes for an established team in the FIA WEC, where he faces the challenge of a tight class field alongside his teammate. The goal of the season is to build on the strong results of recent years and consistently fight for podium positions. Fleming himself emphasizes that further development within the team and close collaboration with the engineers are particularly important to him in order to eventually compete for overall victories.
