Sebastian "Seb" Morris (born 30 November 1995) is a professional race car driver originating from Marford and currently based in Chester, Cheshire. He clinched the 2017 British GT Championship crown and triumphed in the 2017 Sunoco Challenge, which granted him a seat in the No. 31 Whelen Engineering Racing Cadillac DPi at the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona, where he led the race for three hours. Earlier in his career, Morris was affiliated with the Caterham F1 Academy and was chosen by Jack Wills as one of their Young Brits for the 2013/14 Autumn/Winter campaign.

Ginetta Juniors

Morris initiated his competitive karting journey in 2007 before moving up to Ginetta Juniors in 2010 with Hillspeed, where he became the youngest driver to finish on the podium. At just 14 years old, he secured victory in the winter series and went on to win the 2011 Ginetta Junior Championship by taking eleven wins across twenty rounds, also earning recognition as Welsh Young Driver of the Year.

Formula Renault BARC

In 2012, Morris stepped into single-seater racing by joining the British Formula Renault Championship with Fortec Motorsport. He concluded the season as the top rookie and third overall. Additionally, he won the 2012 Winter Series and was selected for the Motor Sports Association Academy while being named a British Racing Drivers' Club Rising Star.

His journey was documented by Sky Sports F1 in Britain's Next F1 Star, highlighting his efforts to balance racing commitments with education and adolescence.

Formula 4

During 2013, Morris competed in the inaugural season of the BRDC Formula 4 Championship representing Hillspeed. He finished as Vice Champion, securing one victory and nine podium finishes. He was also shortlisted for the prestigious McLaren Autosport BRDC Award and featured in Formula magazine’s Prodigies section.

Following this, Morris joined the Caterham F1 racing academy.

Formula Renault NEC

In 2014, Morris returned to compete with Fortec Motorsport in the 2014 Formula Renault 2.0 NEC season.

GP3 Series

On 9 March 2015, it was announced that Morris would drive for Status Grand Prix during the 2015 GP3 Series season.

British GT

Morris shifted from single-seaters to GT racing in 2016, piloting a Bentley GT3 for Team Parker Racing in the 2016 British GT Championship. He achieved pole positions at Brands Hatch, Oulton Park, Silverstone, and Spa-Francorchamps, setting a new GT3 lap record at Oulton Park.

In 2017, alongside teammate Parfitt, Morris captured the British GT title during the final race of the season. They secured wins at Rockingham, Silverstone, and Brands Hatch, earned pole position in four out of seven rounds, and Morris established a lap record at Spa-Francorchamps.

IMSA

Morris competed with Action Express during the opening round of the 2017 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, participating in the 24 Hours of Daytona. Despite electrical difficulties, their No. 31 car finished sixth overall.

In February 2017, he was honored as a BRDC Super Star.

Personal life

Morris received private education at both Abbey Gate College and King's School, Chester. In 2018, he appeared on season four of Celebs Go Dating.
