Biography
Starting his motorsport journey at age 13 with karting, Hawksworth quickly made a name for himself by becoming Junior Rotax Euro Max champion and securing second place in the World finals by age 15. Advancing into professional karting, he won the 2009 Trofeo Margutti in the KZ1 category, achieved victories in the German championship, and earned podium finishes in both KZ1 and KZ2 European Championships. In 2010, driving for Maddox Team, he placed sixth overall in the KZ1 European Championship and captured the British Kart Masters Grand Prix title in Senior Max while racing with Protrain Racing.
Transitioning to single-seaters late in 2010, Hawksworth participated in the Formula Renault Winter Series with Mark Burdett Motorsport. There, he claimed four pole positions and finished third overall, emerging as the highest-ranked rookie ahead of notable competitors such as Daniil Kvyat and Carlos Sainz Jr. The following year, he competed in the Formula Renault UK championship, switching teams mid-season and concluding the year fourth in the standings with a victory at Croft.
In 2012, Hawksworth relocated to the United States to join Team Pelfrey in the Star Mazda Championship under Mazda’s Road to Indy initiative. During his rookie campaign, he set new benchmarks for wins, poles, and fastest laps en route to securing the championship title. He progressed to Indy Lights in 2013 with Schmidt Peterson Motorsports.
In 2014, Hawksworth endured a myocardial contusion during practice at the Pocono IndyCar 500, which forced him to withdraw from that race.
On 11 November 2016, 3GT Racing announced signing Hawksworth alongside Robert Alon to pilot the No. 15 Lexus RC F GT3 in the GT Daytona class of the 2017 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. The duo competed together for eight events before Alon was replaced by Scott Pruett for the season’s final races. Their best result was a fifth-place finish at the 2017 6 Hours of Watkins Glen.
Hawksworth made his NASCAR Xfinity Series debut in August 2019 at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, driving the No. 18 Toyota Supra for Joe Gibbs Racing following Jeffrey Earnhardt's exit.
