🇬🇧 Jack Aitken

Jack Aitken is an established professional racing driver with a Racer Rating of 6,129, placing him among the world's top 600 active competitors. His career spans 14 seasons across single-seater and sportscar racing, with 254 starts yielding 24 wins and 60 podiums. This level of performance reflects a driver who wins consistently in strong fields and has competed credibly against multiple Formula 1 champions, though his record against them shows a pattern of being outpaced; he finished ahead of generational talents George Russell, Charles Leclerc, and Lando Norris only in isolated instances across dozens of shared races. His sole Formula 1 appearance came in 2020 with Williams, a single-race engagement that did not lead to a seat.[1]

Aitken's career trajectory shows a progression from junior open-wheel racing through single-seater championships and into sportscar competition. He won the 2015 Formula Renault Eurocup before steady runs in GP3 and Formula 2, where he scored four wins for HWA Racelab across 76 starts. His move into endurance racing, particularly IMSA and World Endurance racing for Cadillac, has become his primary focus since 2023. There he has accumulated five IMSA wins and 13 podiums in 28 starts, establishing himself as a reliable front-runner in that discipline. His FIA Platinum classification confirms his standing as a full professional in sportscar racing.[2]

His most frequent rivals in recent years reflect the endurance racing sphere: Louis Deletraz, a multiple European Le Mans Series champion, has a dead-even head-to-head record with Aitken across 110 shared races, whilst he holds a winning record against semi-professional competitors like Arjun Maini and Kevin Jörg. Against stronger drivers such as Nyck de Vries, an established professional who has won Formula 2 and Formula E, Aitken trails significantly. In 2026 he remains active across IMSA and WEC, continuing his role as Cadillac's lead driver in endurance competition.
