Charlie Eastwood

Charlie Eastwood is from Northern Ireland and, like many of his generation, came to motorsport through karting. His talent behind the wheel became evident early on, and in 2013 he crowned his junior career with a kart title. This success laid the foundation for his future path and reinforced his determination to take the step into formula racing and GT cars.

After karting, Eastwood progressed through the classic British junior racing series before increasingly turning his attention to GT racing. An important milestone in his career was winning the Porsche Carrera Cup GB title in 2017, which established him as one of the most talented drivers of his age group in Great Britain. This success opened the door to larger programs and eventually brought him into contact with factory teams active in the GT3 category and in the World Endurance Championship.

Over the course of his career, Eastwood has accumulated valuable experience in various GT3 championships and has thereby earned his place in the FIA WEC, where he has since regularly competed. The combination of his Porsche Carrera Cup GB title and the experience gained from it formed the foundation for his development into a sought-after GT factory driver who has demonstrated consistency and racing pace in both national and international endurance series.

For the 2026 season, Charlie Eastwood is once again competing in the FIA WEC and wants to build on his previous successes. With the goal of establishing himself further up the field in the fiercely contested GT class, he is relying on the experience of past years and his collaboration with his team to consistently fight for podium finishes and class wins. Fans will be keen to see how the Northern Irishman performs in increasingly competitive competition.
