Lorcan Hanafin is a professional endurance racing driver who competes in multiclass and single-class championships across European and international grids. FIA Silver graded, he drives GT3 machinery in the European Le Mans Series for GR Racing and the GT World Challenge Europe for Ecurie Ecosse Blackthorn, the series in which he has made the bulk of his 56 starts since 2022. He has also raced the World Endurance Championship for TF Sport, GT World Challenge America for JMF Motorsports, and Asian Le Mans for Dragon Racing.[1]
Hanafin has taken nine podiums from his 56 starts, with wins in the 2024 Road to Le Mans and the 2023 European Le Mans Series. His record spans four full seasons of steady activity in ELMS and GT World Challenge Europe, where he has remained in contention against established competitors. He regularly races against Davide Rigon, the 2016 WEC LMGTE Pro champion, and Ben Tuck, each a Platinum or Silver graded professional with significant WEC and ELMS experience; his head-to-head records with both are closely matched. He has finished ahead of Maro Engel, the 2024 GT World Challenge Europe champion, and Charles Weerts, who won that series in 2021 and again in 2025. In 2026 he has moved to the works Ferrari programme with GR Racing whilst continuing his GT World Challenge campaign, and sits 26th in the WEC standings after the opening round of a season still in progress.[2]
