Finlay Hutchison (born 20 January 2000) is a British racing driver from Scotland who last competed in GT World Challenge Europe and the Italian GT Championship for VSR.

Career

Hutchison made his single-seater debut in 2016, racing for Mark Burdett Motorsport in the Formula Renault 2.0 Northern European Cup.[1] In his only season in the series, Hutchison scored a best result of 15th at the Hungaroring as he ended the year 23rd in points.[2] Switching to sportscars for 2017, Hutchison joined Equipe Verschuur to race in the Silver Cup of the GT4 European Series Northern Cup. Driving a McLaren 570S GT4, Hutchison scored three class podiums, including a best outright finish of second at Zandvoort to secure fifth in points.[3]

Continuing in GT4 competition for 2018, Hutchison remained with Equipe Verschuur for a dual campaign in the GT4 European Series and the British GT Championship.[4][5] In the former, Hutchison won at Misano and the Nürburgring en route to a fourth-place points finish,[6] whereas in the latter, he took a lone GT4 Silver win at Donington Park to clinch fifth in points.[7] At the end of the year, Hutchison raced in the GT4 International Cup for Academy Motorsport,[8] in which he finished third overall alongside Matt Nicoll-Jones.[9] Moving up to GT3 competition for the following year, Hutchison joined Audi-linked Phoenix Racing for a dual campaign in the Blancpain GT Series Endurance Cup and Blancpain GT World Challenge Europe.[10] Between the two campaigns, Hutchison found more success in the former, taking a Silver Cup podium at Le Castellet to take ninth in points.[11] During 2019, Hutchison also raced in the final two rounds of the GT4 European Series as a guest driver, most notably finishing second in race one at Zandvoort for Camaro-fielding V8 Racing.[12] Also during the year, Hutchison became part of the BRDC Rising Stars programme.[13]

In 2020, Hutchison primarily raced in the LMGTE class of the European Le Mans Series for Ferrari-fielding JMW Motorsport,[14] scoring a best result of fourth at Le Castellet to take seventh in points.[15] In parallel, Hutchison also raced in the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup with Mercedes-linked Haupt Racing Team at Imola,[16] before switching to Audi-fielding Attempto Racing for the remainder of the season.[17] Continuing with Audi machinery for 2021, Hutchison joined Saintéloc Racing for his third full-time season in the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup.[18] Racing in the Pro class for the first four rounds, Hutchison scored points finishes at Monza and Le Castellet,[19] before switching to the Invitational class for Barcelona as he gave the Audi R8 LMS Evo II its debut.[20]

After racing in the 2022 Asian Le Mans Series' GT class for Attempto Racing,[21] Hutchison joined Audi-affiliated Team WRT to return to the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup.[22] Racing in the Silver Cup, Hutchison scored a lone class podium at Le Castellet to take 14th in points.[23] Remaining with Audi machinery through 2023, Hutchison switched to Comtoyou Racing for a dual campaign in the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance and Sprint Cups.[24] In the former, Hutchison scored a class win at Monza and three further podiums to secure runner-up honors in the Silver Cup,[25] whereas in the latter, he took a lone class win at Valencia and six podiums en route to a third-place points finish in the Gold Cup.[26] Hutchison was due to remain with the Belgian team for the following year as they switched to Aston Martin machinery,[27] but was replaced by Esteban Muth on the eve of the season.[28] In 2025, Hutchison joined Lamborghini-linked VSR for a dual campaign in both the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup and the Italian GT Championship Sprint Cup,[29][30] but left the team after partaking in the first round of both series.[31]

Personal life

In 2021, Hutchison was given a £2,000 fine and 120 hours of community service, after allowing one of his friends to drive his BMW M4 uninsured, which then resulted in a hit-and-run accident which resulted in the death of a pedestrian.[32] In 2023, Hutchison was charged with dangerous driving after being caught speeding in the streets of Perth in November of 2019.[33] Two years later, Hutchison was involved in a traffic collision on the A9, which left his passenger with life-threatening injuries.[34]
