🇬🇧 Jon Lancaster

Jon Lancaster is a professional racing driver competing in both single-seater and endurance categories. He holds an FIA Gold rating, the full-professional grade in GT and endurance racing. His primary single-seater experience came in GP2 Series, where he made 31 starts for Hilmer Motorsport between 2012 and 2015, while his current racing spans shared-car endurance grids and sprint events in the McLaren Trophy America and GT Winter Series.[1]

Lancaster's career spans 11 seasons from 2007 onwards across 94 starts. He began in open-wheel junior categories; his breakthrough came in 2007 when he took five wins in the Formula Renault Eurocup, finishing with six podiums across 12 starts for SG Driver's Project. He then raced Formula 3 Euro Series in 2008 and Formula V8 3.5 from 2009 to 2010, taking a win and three podiums in each. His longest tenure was in GP2 Series, where he secured two wins and three podiums, though his running at that level ended in 2015. He has since raced in multiclass endurance grids; the European Le Mans Series LMGTE class in 2023 yielded one podium from four starts, and he has made recent appearances in McLaren Trophy America, where he won once from two starts in 2025, and in the 24H Series and GT Winter Series in 2026.[2]

In his core single-seater years, Lancaster competed alongside drivers who went on to top-tier careers. He finished ahead of Pierre Gasly, the 2013 Formula Renault Eurocup champion who went on to Formula 1, on three occasions. Against Mitch Evans, an elite professional who raced in Formula E and GP2 Series, he scored 11 finishes ahead. His regular opponents in GP2 were Stefano Coletti and Julián Leal, both professional-level drivers with extensive single-seater experience; he and Coletti were closely matched across multiple meetings, as were he and Leal.
