ABOUT THOMAS
THOMAS MERRITT
A HIGHLY AMBITIOUS AND MOTIVATED CHAMPIONSHIP WINNING RACING DRIVER
With a professional approach both on and off the circuit. An excellent communicator, with the ability to share information at all levels, including a growing social media following, across multiple channels. A willingness to learn and develop to ensure continuous improvement.
Having enjoyed my time in karting and secured multiple championships, my focus is now on racing cars. This year, I am competing in the BRSCC Fiesta Junior Championship with Race Car Consultants. The team has a winning history having secured the championship three times in the last five years and finishing second on the other two occasions. Over the winter, I have been pre-season testing at circuits across the UK, including Silverstone, Brands Hatch, Snetterton and Donington. I will continue testing throughout 2024 gaining valuable seat and track time.
My long-term ambition is to pursue a career in GT and endurance motorsport. Whilst I focus on my racing career, I remain fully committed to my studies, in the hope that I can pursue a technical qualification within motorsport, which I believe will also enhance my skills as a driver.
