Charlie Eastwood (born 11 August 1995 in Belfast) is a professional racing driver from Northern Ireland currently competing in the 2024 FIA World Endurance Championship with TF Sport. Previously an official factory driver for Aston Martin, he transitioned to Corvette Racing in 2023.

Eastwood has claimed several notable titles in sportscar racing, including the 2017 Porsche Carrera Cup Great Britain, the Pro-Am division of the 2019 Blancpain GT Series Endurance Cup, the LMP2 Pro-Am category of the 2022 European Le Mans Series, and the 2023 Asian Le Mans Series championship.

Early career

Following his victory in the 2012 Rotax Max World Karting Championship, Eastwood embarked on his single-seater journey in 2014 by competing in the 2014 BRDC Formula 4 Championship with Douglas Motorsport. He achieved two podium finishes during the season finale at Snetterton, ultimately ranking tenth in the overall standings.

In 2015, Eastwood took part in New Zealand’s Toyota Racing Series driving for M2 Competition, where he earned three podiums. Additionally, he contested selected rounds of both the Formula Renault NEC and Eurocup Formula Renault, though without podium results. By the end of that year, he was awarded a two-year scholarship as a Porsche-supported driver.

Eastwood made his move into sportscar competition in 2016 with Redline Racing in the Porsche Carrera Cup Great Britain. Demonstrating strong form, he secured ten podiums including a victory at Brands Hatch, concluding the season third overall. Continuing into 2017, Eastwood claimed four wins and an additional six podium finishes, ultimately winning the championship on countback against rival Dino Zamparelli.

GT career

Prior to the 2018 season, Eastwood signed with TF Sport to race in the Silver Cup class of the 2018 Blancpain GT Series Endurance Cup and compete in the LMGTE Am category of the 2018–19 FIA World Endurance Championship. While his Blancpain campaign alongside teammates Ahmad Al Harthy and Euan McKay proved challenging—finishing seventh overall and last among full-season entrants—the WEC effort was more fruitful, with four podiums and a third-place finish in the GTE Am championship.

Eastwood remained with TF Sport for both series during 2019. Partnered with Al Harthy and Salih Yoluç in the Blancpain Endurance Series Pro-Am Cup, he secured that title highlighted by a class victory at the prestigious 2019 24 Hours of Spa. In the 2019–20 FIA World Endurance Championship, Eastwood and Yoluç were joined by professional driver Jonathan Adam. Together they triumphed in LMGTE Am at the 2020 24 Hours of Le Mans and finished second overall in the championship, adding three more wins to their record.

Throughout the pandemic-affected 2020 season, Eastwood and Yoluç competed in the pro class of the 2020 International GT Open, capturing three race victories but narrowly missing out on the championship by just two points.

Prototype & GT mix

Beginning 2021 racing GT cars in the Asian Le Mans Series, Eastwood progressed to prototype competition by joining TF Sport’s LMP2 squad—racing as Racing Team Turkey—in the 2021 European Le Mans Series. Within the Pro-Am subclass, Eastwood and Salih Yoluç achieved victory at Le Castellet alongside teammate Harry Tincknell, finishing fourth overall despite withdrawing from the final round due to a practice crash. That year also saw Eastwood claim a win at Snetterton during the 2021 British GT Championship and secure victory at a one-off event in the 2021 International GT Open.

In 2022, Eastwood kicked off his season with Oman Racing in the 2022 Asian Le Mans Series, finishing sixth overall. Returning to ELMS competition, he joined forces again with Yoluç and was accompanied primarily by Jack Aitken. The trio amassed three LMP2 Pro-Am wins, while substitute driver Will Stevens contributed a crucial fourth triumph at Spa. This performance led to securing their Pro-Am championship, with Eastwood playing a vital role through key stints during races.

For 2023, Eastwood switched to LMP2 competition in the AsLMS driving for DKR Engineering, alongside Yoluç and newcomer Ayhancan Güven. Consistent podium finishes—including a final-round victory at Yas Island—clinched them that title. He then pursued dual campaigns: defending his ELMS Pro-Am crown with RTT alongside Yoluç and Louis Delétraz, while leading ORT by TF Sport’s entry in the LMGTE Am category of the 2023 FIA World Endurance Championship alongside teammates Michael Dinan and Ahmad Al Harthy. In ELMS, their efforts yielded an overall LMP2 win at Barcelona plus a class victory in France; however, setbacks at Aragón and a spin at Portugal’s Algarve circuit resulted in third place overall in Pro-Am. Meanwhile, their WEC campaign included third place at Spa and runner-up honors at the prestigious 2023 24 Hours of Le Mans, concluding fifth in that championship.

During winter competition, Eastwood and Yoluç returned to contest the teams' championship in the ongoing AsLMS, finishing seventh alongside Michael Dinan.

Corvette factory driver

Prior to the commencement of the 2024 season, Eastwood was designated as an official Corvette factory driver. He made his comeback to the WEC competing with TF Sport, piloting a Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R within the newly introduced LMGT3 division, sharing the cockpit with teammates Rui Andrade and Tom van Rompuy.
