About Sebastian
Sebastian Priaulx was born with racing in his blood. The son of three-time FIA World Touring Car Champion Andy Priaulx MBE and grandson of single-seater racer Graham Priaulx, the Guernseyman represents the third generation of a distinguished racing lineage — and has carved out a formidable career in his own right.
Priaulx began karting at the age of eight, quickly establishing himself as one of the standout young talents in the UK. He claimed multiple titles across Cadet, Mini and Junior Max categories, and secured the Guernsey Kart Club Championship at just fourteen years old, before progressing into car racing.
He made his car-racing debut in the Ginetta Junior Championship, first appearing in the 2015 Winter Series before contesting a full season in 2016. An impressive rookie campaign saw him finish as the second-best newcomer, followed by title success in that year’s Winter Series. Priaulx’s momentum continued in 2017 with thirteen podium finishes — including seven victories — earning him second overall in the championship standings.
In 2018, Priaulx stepped into single-seaters with the British Formula 4 Championship, making an immediate impact by winning in only his third race. He went on to secure a further eight podium finishes and a second victory during a highly competitive debut season.
A switch to GT racing followed in 2019 as Priaulx joined Multimatic Motorsports in the British GT Championship, competing in the Ford Mustang GT4. Alongside team-mate Scott Maxwell, he claimed victory on debut at Oulton Park, added a second win at Donington Park, and recorded three podium finishes and three pole positions on the way to second overall in the GT4 championship. The season concluded with a victory on his US racing debut in the Michelin Pilot Challenge at Road Atlanta, earning him a multi-year contract with Multimatic Motorsports.
Priaulx continued to build his reputation in North America before joining Multimatic and Kelly-Moss Road and Race for the 2021 Porsche Carrera Cup North America season, where he enjoyed a standout year, claiming six race victories to secure the Drivers’ Championship.
His progression onto the world stage came in 2022 with a move into the FIA World Endurance Championship, competing in GT competition and gaining valuable experience in international endurance racing at the highest level.
The 2025 season marked a major milestone in Priaulx’s career, as he joined the factory Ford Performance Multimatic Racing programme in the Ford Mustang GT3. Partnering former Le Mans winner Mike Rockenfeller, the duo enjoyed a highly successful campaign, claiming landmark victories on the streets of Detroit and at the iconic Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Consistently competitive throughout the season, Priaulx finished third overall in the championship standings, firmly establishing himself as one of Ford’s leading GT drivers.
Following that remarkable season, Priaulx has been officially announced as a key driver in Ford Racing’s upcoming Hypercar programme, spearheading the manufacturer’s return to the top class of the FIA World Endurance Championship. As part of his preparation for Hypercar competition, he will contest a full season of the European Le Mans Series in LMP2, alongside continued GT3 commitments and extensive Hypercar development duties.
With a demanding and exciting 2026 programme ahead, Priaulx now takes the next major step in his career, transitioning into Hypercar competition with Ford — a move that underlines his status as one of the most versatile and trusted endurance drivers of his generation.
