🇬🇧 Callum Ilott

Callum Ilott is an established professional racing in open-wheel and endurance machinery. His FIA Platinum grading places him among the strongest full-professional drivers in sportscar racing. He has spent his career primarily in Formula 3, Formula 2 and IndyCar, most recently driving for Prema Racing in the IndyCar Series and Wright Motorsports in IMSA WeatherTech, racing Porsche GT machinery.[1]

His record spans 13 seasons and 232 starts across single-seater championships and endurance competition. In the junior single-seaters, he took 8 wins and 18 podiums across 81 Formula 3 European starts for Prema Powerteam between 2015 and 2017, then progressed to Formula 2 where he scored 3 wins and 8 podiums in 47 starts for UNI-Virtuosi. A full season in GP3 in 2018 yielded 2 wins and 7 podiums from 17 starts with ART Grand Prix. In parallel, he contested the 2021 to 2024 World Endurance Championship for Hertz Team JOTA, finishing seventh in the 2024 standings with 1 win and 3 podiums across 9 starts. His current IMSA campaign with Wright Motorsports has yielded 2 podiums from 10 starts.[2]

His most notable single-seater opponents included generational talents George Russell and Lando Norris, both of whom he finished ahead of on multiple occasions; Russell ultimately beat him 14 times across their shared racing while Norris beat him 11 times. His regular rivalry with established professionals Nikita Mazepin and Zhou Guanyu ran largely in his favour against Mazepin and remained closely matched against Zhou. The field in Formula 3 and Formula 2 mixed semi-professional and amateur entrants with FIA-graded professionals, placing him among established competitors but without championship titles in the categories he contested.
