Wayne Boyd (born 25 October 1990) is a motorsport competitor hailing from County Antrim, Northern Ireland.
In 2008, Boyd claimed the title in the British Formula Ford Championship driving for Jamun Racing, achieving 13 victories across 25 races, along with 15 pole positions and 20 podium finishes. That same year, he also triumphed in the Duratec category of the Formula Ford Festival. His outstanding achievements that season led to his selection as a British Racing Driver Club Superstar and earned him a nomination for the BRDC McLaren Autosport Award. Further successes included winning the Walter Hayes Trophy in 2014 and securing another Formula Ford Festival victory in 2015.
Boyd advanced to compete full-time in the British Formula Three Championship in 2009 with T-Sport, where he secured a win at Donington Park despite starting outside the top ten under wet conditions. He endured a significant accident during the Macau Grand Prix and concluded the season ranked twelfth overall. His performances resulted in another nomination as a BRDC Superstar and recognition as a British MSA Race Elite Driver.
Due to budgetary limitations, Boyd participated in only two British F3 events in 2010 with Sino Vision Racing, including an eighth-place finish at the F3 Masters held at Zandvoort, where he started 24th amid challenging weather conditions.
In 2011, Boyd joined Belardi Auto Racing to contest the U.S. F2000 National Championship, where he earned two victories—including one on the Milwaukee Mile oval track—and accumulated six podium placements, ultimately finishing third in the championship behind Petri Suvanto and Spencer Pigot. The following year, he competed in two rounds for Belardi at Baltimore and Virginia International Raceway, securing third and second places respectively at VIR.
Boyd began karting in 2001 and swiftly progressed through regional competitions, capturing multiple titles such as the Ulster Championship and Five Nations Championship by 2004. In 2007, he won the Northern Irish FF1600 Championship, receiving Novice of the Year honors and setting lap records at Knockhill, Mondello Park, Brands Hatch, and Silverstone during major Formula Ford events.
