PJ Hyett

PJ Hyett grew up in the USA and, like many racing drivers of his generation, found his way to motorsport through karting. From an early age, his feel for fast corners and tight battles became apparent, making the transition to formula classes only a matter of time. Starting from karting, he gained the experience that would later enable his rise through the junior series.

Through various formula and GT3 programs, Hyett steadily worked his way up and built a reputation as a versatile and reliable driver who excelled in both open-wheel racing cars and closed cockpit sports cars. This broad technical background ultimately opened the door to the major international endurance racing series, where consistency and race craft count just as much as pure lap time.

Hyett’s biggest career success came in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, where he secured the championship title in the LMP2 class in 2025. The title win was the reward for a season in which he prevailed in a fiercely competitive field and established himself as one of the most reliable LMP2 drivers in his category. This success also served as the springboard for his step into the FIA WEC, where Hyett now wants to prove his abilities on a global stage.

In the 2026 season, PJ Hyett will compete for his team in the FIA WEC and brings the experience from his IMSA championship year into the new challenge. The goal is to build on the consistency of the past season and establish himself as a fixture in the international endurance racing circuit. For fans and observers, Hyett remains one of the names to watch in the 2026 WEC season.
