Stuart Peter White (born 30 September 2001) is a South African racing driver set to compete in International GT Open for Into Africa Racing by Dragon.

Career

White began karting in 2006, competing until 2016.[1] Primarily racing in South Africa in his youth, White won the South African Karting Championship in Mini Rok and Maxterino 60cc in 2013,[2][3] and the Junior Rok title in 2015.[4] Internationally, White most notably finished second in the Junior class of the 2015 ROK Cup International Final,[5] before finishing third in the following year's edition.[6]

After making his single-seater debut in the South African National Formula 1600 Championship in 2016,[1] White remained in the series full-time for the following year, as well as racing in the French F4 Championship.[7] In the former, White scored three wins en route to runner-up honors in points,[8] whereas in the latter, he took a lone win at Magny-Cours and three other podiums to end the year eighth in points.[9]

Continuing in the South African Formula 1600 Championship for 2018,[10] White scored eight wins and seven further podiums to clinch the series title at the end of the year,[11] earning him an invite to the Mazda Road to Indy Shootout at the end of the year.[12] During 2018, White also returned to the French F4 Championship,[13] competing in the first three rounds and taking a win in race three at Spa.[14] Returning to the latter for 2019 with support from Sauber Motorsport,[15][16] White took four podiums, with a best result of second in race one at Spa, as he ended his tenure in single-seaters with a ninth-place points finish.[17]

Following a year on the sidelines, White joined Bentley-fielding CMR for his debut in sportscar competition in the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup.[18] After scoring a best overall result of 28th at the Nürburgring, White returned to the series with Emil Frey Racing in 2022,[19] as a member of Lamborghini's GT3 Junior Driver Programme.[20] In his sophomore season in the series, White scored a Silver Cup win at the Hockenheimring and two other class podiums to secure a third-place points finish in class.[21]

In 2023, White joined Ferrari-affiliated AF Corse alongside Jean-Luc D'Auria to race in the Italian GT Sprint Championship,[22] in which he scored a lone win at Misano to finish the season fourth in the GT3 standings.[23] In parallel, White also raced in the South African Endurance Series for Into Africa Racing,[24] winning two out of the five races but lost out on the title after retiring at the 9 Hours of Kyalami.[25] The following year, White returned to the latter series with the same team, winning at Kyalami to secure his first series title.[26][27] Continuing in the series for 2025,[28] White won four of the six races to clinch his second consecutive series title.[29] During 2025, White also raced for the team in one-off races in Creventic-organized series, before remaining with the team to race in the final two rounds of the 2025–26 24H Series Middle East.[30] In those two races, White scored a best result of third overall at the 2026 6 Hours of Abu Dhabi.[31]

For 2026, White remained with Into Africa Racing by Dragon to race in select races of the International GT Open season.[32]
