Single-seaters

Meyrick began his racing journey in the BRSCC Formula Ford 1600 North West championship at Oulton Park, where he claimed ten victories and captured the Pre 90 class title driving a classic Reynard 84FF. The following year, he progressed to the British Formula Ford Championship with Cliff Dempsey Racing, piloting the Ray GR06 alongside teammate Peter Dempsey. Later in 2006, Meyrick competed in the Formula Renault BARC Championship for Falcon Motorsport, securing a pole position and finishing second at Thruxton Circuit. After participating in the 2007 Formula Renault UK Wintercup, he entered two British Formula Renault races with Team West-Tec. In 2008, Meyrick advanced to the National class of the British Formula Three Championship with Carlin Motorsport, achieving seven wins out of twelve races and concluding the season fifth in the standings.

Endurance racing

Transitioning to sports car competition, Meyrick joined the 2009 Le Mans Series season driving an Audi R10 TDI for Kolles. The team’s top result was a fourth-place finish at the 2009 1000 km of Nürburgring. In 2010, he raced with Dyson Racing in the American Le Mans Series, competing at the 2010 12 Hours of Sebring and Monterey Sports Car Championships. That same year marked his debut at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, where he finished fourth overall with AIM Team Oreca Matmut in an Oreca 01—making them the highest-placed non-Audi entry. This performance earned him a seat with Aston Martin Racing’s LMP1 program, achieving a best finish of sixth at the 2011 6 Hours of Zhuhai. Alongside this, Meyrick took part in historic Group C racing, winning two events and securing the C2 class championship, including a victory driving an Aston Martin AMR1 in the C1 category.

In 2012, Meyrick contested five rounds of the Porsche Carrera Cup Great Britain, placing third on his debut and ending the season 13th overall. He joined the groundbreaking DeltaWing project for the 2013 American Le Mans Series, helping secure seventh place in the P1 class alongside Katherine Legge. Both drivers led laps at Road America, marking a milestone as the prototype’s first race leader.

Towards the end of 2013, Meyrick became associated with Bentley as a factory driver, competing in Blancpain Endurance Series events with M-Sport behind the wheel of a factory-supported Bentley Continental GT. He contributed to developing the car to a fourth-place finish on its debut at the Abu Dhabi Gulf 12 Hours. In 2014, Meyrick achieved victories at both Silverstone and Paul Ricard, finishing runner-up in both drivers’ and teams’ championships alongside teammates Guy Smith and Steven Kane. Simultaneously, he continued racing DeltaWing entries in the TUDOR United SportsCar Championship, securing a season-best fourth place at Petit Le Mans. His efforts were recognized with the John Cobb Trophy awarded by the British Racing Drivers' Club (BRDC).

In 2015, Meyrick concentrated on Bentley’s Blancpain factory program while also participating in endurance races for DeltaWing. The Bentley squad recorded wins at Paul Ricard and Spa-Francorchamps, ultimately finishing second in the championship standings.

Returning to Blancpain Endurance Series competition—now rebranded as the GT World Challenge Europe—in 2023, Meyrick raced for Team Parker Racing, piloting a Porsche 911 GT3 R (992) in the Bronze Cup category alongside Derek Pierce and Kiern Jewiss.
