Ross Wylie

Ross Wylie (born 15 September 1991) is a Scottish racing driver. He started his motor racing career contesting the 2004 Mini Max Kart Championship, becoming a multiple kart champion in his native Scotland over the next eight years, before moving up to car racing in 2012.

Having competed in the Volkswagen Scirocco R-Cup and Volkswagen UK Racing Cup in 2013, he won the British GT4 Championship the following year, co-driving the Beechdean Motorsport Aston Martin Vantage with Jake Giddings.

Selected as a McLaren GT "Young Driver" in 2015, Ross spent that year and the next competing in the British GT Championship, challenging for outright race wins with Von Ryan Racing, driving a McLaren 650S GT3 followed by a Motorbase Performance Aston Martin Vantage GT3 in 2016.

In 2017, Ross won the Britcar Endurance Championship outright in the MJC Furlonger-prepared Ferrari 458 GT, taking 10 overall podiums, including 4 wins.

Ross contested the 2018 Britcar series with FF Corse, co-driving a Ferrari 458 GT3 with David Mason. He completed the year by winning the Sprint S1 category, claiming 13 class podiums, including 4 class wins. Ross is also an ARDS-qualified (Association of Racing Driver Schools) instructor and a freelance driving specialist. Having been nominated as a BRDC (British Racing Drivers’ Club) Rising Star in 2013, he was selected as a BRDC "SuperStar" two years later.

During 2019 Ross Wylie completed 7 rounds of the Britcar Endurance Championship, securing 3 class poles and 6 top-four placings. He also competed once in the GT Cup Championship (GTC class FF Corse Ferrari 488 Challenge, class podium) and achieved a top-five finish in all four rounds of the Porsche Carrera Cup GB that he contested.

In 2020 Ross returned to the Porsche Carrera Cup GB with In2Racing, and competed in 16 races, finishing the season 7th overall. Ross also contested 6 Britcar Endurance Championship races with SB Race Engineering Ferrari 488 to secure the C2 Class title, second overall.

The 2021 season saw Ross competing across four domestic championships. At the wheel of three different cars prepared by SB Race Engineering (Ferrari 488, Brabham BT62 Competition and McLaren MP4-12C Can Am) he took the GTO title in the GT Cup, with nine podiums, six class wins, six fastest laps and one overall victory. He supported that with six appearances in the Porsche Carrera Cup GB for Valluga Racing, and a race apiece in the Britcar Endurance Championship (a C2 class win ) and the British GT Championship (3rd in GT3SA), both with Simon Green Motorsport.

Ross started the 2022 season with a defence of his GT Cup GTO Championship title, co-driving with Paul Bailey. Four class podiums in the first four races made for a promising start, but Bailey's withdrawal from the series before the next round at Snetterton prompted Ross to end his participation. Instead, he transferred his challenge to the British GT Championship, contesting the GT4 class which he'd last won eight years previously. Sharing a Valluga Racing Porsche 718 Cayman with Matthew Graham, he contested six races, finishing second in the prestigious Silverstone 500. Ross also competed in three rounds of the Porsche Carrera Cup.

In 2023 Ross Wylie contested the Porsche Carrera Cup GB with Redline Racing, finishing runner-up in the Pro-Am Championship, just seven points behind the class winner. He also made an impressive return to the GT Cup with SB Race Engineering, driving three different chassis ( Brabham BT62 Competition, Mercedes AMG GT3 and Lamborghini Huracán) to claim the overall GT Cup title.

In 2024 Ross returned to team Toro Verde GT to contest the 2024 Porsche Carrera Cup, and competed in ten of the season's 16 races, finishing the year 8th in the championship's Pro-Am standings. He also shared a Bentley Continental with Witt Gamski in the Masters Endurance Legends and British Endurance Championship (formerly Britcar), recording two G2/GT3 race wins and two fastest laps at the Silverstone Classic.
