Stuart Hall (born 18 October 1984 in Chelmsford) is a British motorsport competitor and the 2013 GTEAM World Endurance Champion, known for his participation in the 24 Hours of Le Mans with teams such as Aston Martin Racing.
Single-seaters
Following his triumph in the T Cars championship in 2000, Hall advanced into single-seater racing. In 2002, he secured ninth place in the British Formula Ford Championship and achieved fourth in the Winter Series, winning half of the four races. The next year, he competed in only 12 out of 20 races to concentrate on his A level qualifications. Hall made his debut in Formula Renault during the 2003 UK Winter Series and then participated full-time in the Formula Renault UK in 2004 with Fortec Motorsport, finishing seventh overall with three podium finishes. That same year, he claimed victory in the Winter Series with one race win. In 2005, continuing in Formula Renault UK, Hall ended the season eighth overall, achieving five podiums.
In 2006, Hall progressed to the British Formula Three, competing during the first five race weekends for Fortec before missing the sixth round at Spa-Francorchamps. He returned later that season driving for T-Sport and completed the year ranked 13th in the championship standings.
Sportscars
Hall shifted focus to sportscar racing in 2007, joining Rollcentre Racing in the European Le Mans Series behind the wheel of a Pescarolo-Judd powered LMP1. He concluded the season fifth overall among drivers and achieved a fourth-place finish at the 24 Hours of Le Mans with Rollcentre. The following year, representing Creation Autosportif, Hall placed seventh in the Le Mans Series and finished 11th at Le Mans. In 2009, he became part of Aston Martin Racing’s lineup, competing at the 24 Hours of Le Mans (retiring from the race) and participating in the final two rounds of the Le Mans Series.
After limited outings in the British GT across 2010–11, Hall secured a drive in the Pescarolo 03 for the 2012 24 Hours of Le Mans. In 2013, he piloted an Vantage V8 GTE for Aston Martin Racing within the LMGTE Am category of the FIA World Endurance Championship, capturing class victory alongside teammate Jamie Campbell-Walter. He maintained this partnership and vehicle for two additional seasons.
In 2015, Hall finished as runner-up in the GTC division of the European Le Mans Series, driving a Ferrari 458 GT3 for AF Corse. From 2016 through 2018, he competed with ROFGO Racing behind the wheel of a Mercedes AMG GT3, including a notable win at the Silverstone 12 Hours. Between 2019 and 2021, Hall raced in the Blancpain Endurance Series representing GPX Racing and Team WRT.
In 2022, Hall secured victory in the GT4 category of the British Endurance Championship driving for MKH Racing, a team carrying his name.
Historic Racing
Hall frequently participates in Historic Racing events, driving vehicles from both ROFGO and GPX Historic Collections. He has triumphed three times at the Monaco Historic Grand Prix—once in 2016 with a McLaren M19 and twice more in 2022 piloting both a McLaren M19 and an M23. Additionally, he has earned wins at historic racing competitions across Dubai, America, and Europe.
His most recent historic appearance was at the Le Mans Classic event in 2022 where he raced an Aston Martin Vantage GT2.
