Max Chilton, after achieving runner-up status in the 2006 T Cars championship with seven race wins, quickly established himself as a formidable talent in junior motorsport. His early car racing career began in the 2005 T Cars season, where he finished eighth overall and secured third place in the Autumn Trophy. Progressing to British Formula 3, he made his debut in 2007 with Arena International, before moving to Hitech Racing in 2008 where he earned two podium finishes and two pole positions. Joining Carlin Motorsport for the 2009 British Formula 3 season, Chilton further honed his skills, securing two wins and three pole positions en route to a fourth-place overall finish.
Additionally, in 2015, Chilton showcased his versatility by competing in the FIA World Endurance Championship with Nissan Motorsports, including an entry in the iconic 24 Hours of Le Mans. In February 2022, Max Chilton announced his retirement from IndyCar racing to pivot his focus towards new ventures, particularly in endurance racing. Demonstrating his continued prowess and adaptability, he currently holds the outright hillclimb record at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, a feat he achieved in 2022 behind the wheel of the groundbreaking McMurtry Spéirling. As the head development driver for McMurtry Automotive since 2021, Chilton plays a pivotal role in pushing the boundaries of automotive performance, combining his extensive racing experience with cutting-edge engineering.
