Xie Yonglin (; born 24 September 2006), widely recognized as Gerrard Xie, is a Chinese racing driver currently competing in the FIA Formula 3 Championship with Hitech and TGR.
Previously, Xie participated in the GB3 Championship representing Hitech Pulse-Eight and Hillspeed during the last two seasons. He claimed victories in both the 2022 F4 Chinese Championship and the 2022 Formula Renault Super Challenge.
Karting
Originally from Hong Kong and residing in Shenzhen,[1] Xie competed in karting events throughout Europe and Asia between 2018 and 2021, although he frequently did not complete entire European campaigns.[2] In the 2020 season, he achieved third place in the junior category of the IAME Asia Cup.[3]
Formula Renault
Xie made his car racing debut in the 2022 Formula Renault Super Challenge driving for H-Star Racing.[4] Beginning from the second round, he secured pole position and won both races while recording fastest laps, a performance he replicated in rounds three and the finale. He ultimately secured the championship by a 32-point margin over Jason Wu.[5]
Formula 4
Competing with Smart Life Racing Team in the 2022 F4 Chinese Championship, Xie dominated the first round at Ningbo International Circuit, capturing double pole positions and triumphing in three out of four races.[6] During the second Ningbo event, he again achieved double poles and swept all four races, setting fastest lap times throughout.[7] After qualifying second behind Andy Chang,[8] Xie won the opening race of the 2022 Macau Grand Prix (third round) and secured second place in the main race, which clinched him the championship.[9][10] In the final round at Pingtan Street Circuit, he repeated his performance by taking double poles and winning all four races with fastest laps,[11] sealing the title with a margin exceeding 160 points—the largest gap ever recorded in Chinese F4 history.[12]
2023
On 13 February 2023, it was announced that Xie would compete for Hillspeed in the 2023 GB3 Championship, partnering with Daniel Mavlyutov, both supported by the newly established Hitech GP Academy. Despite a demanding season, Xie secured victory in the final race at Donington Park, concluding the year 20th overall with a total of 128 points.
2024
For his sophomore GB3 season in 2024, Xie transitioned to driving for Hitech Pulse-Eight.[13]
Formula Regional
Xie made his debut in the 2024 Formula Regional Oceania Championship with M2 Competition. He earned pole position at Hampton Downs and recorded a race win at Taupo Motorsport Park.
FIA Formula 3 Championship
In October 2024, Xie's entry into the 2025 FIA Formula 3 Championship was confirmed, continuing his collaboration with both Hitech and TGR.[14]
