🇬🇧 Harrison Newey

Harrison Newey is a professional racing driver who competed in single-seat and endurance racing from 2015 to 2020. Graded FIA Silver, he raced primarily in European single-seaters for Van Amersfoort Racing, one of the grid's largest operations, before testing his pace in Japanese Formula, German touring cars and the WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. He took a win in his sole IMSA start in 2020.[1]

His indexed record spans six seasons: a full campaign in GB3 in 2015 produced two wins and 12 podiums; he then spent two seasons in FIA Formula 3 European with 54 starts across 2016 and 2017. He also raced ADAC Formula 4 in 2015, competed in Super Formula for one round in Japan in 2019, and took a DTM campaign of 16 starts in 2020 with Audi Sport Team WRT. His three career wins came in GB3, IMSA and his limited single-seater campaigns. A one-off World Endurance Championship outing in 2018 rounded out his activity.[2]

Newey regularly raced established professionals including Joel Eriksson, an FIA Platinum driver with substantial DTM and Formula 3 experience, and Ralf Aron, a Formula 4 national champion and Gold-graded driver; he typically finished behind both. He occasionally ran ahead of much stronger opposition: he beat Lando Norris, now a Formula 1 driver and three-time champion, in four meetings, and George Russell, a generational talent and Formula 1 regular, once. These results came in junior categories where Russell and Norris were still developing their careers, not in direct professional competition at Newey's own level.
