McLaren GT3 Junior and part of the McLaren Elite Talent Pathway. Racing GT4 in the European Series with Elite Motorsport.
McKenzy Cresswell is a 20-year-old racing driver from Weybridge, Surrey, and one of the most exciting emerging talents in GT racing. A McLaren GT3 Junior Driver and part of the McLaren Elite Talent Pathway for 2026, McKenzy competes in the GT4 European Series with Elite Motorsport in a McLaren Artura GT4.
McKenzy's journey to GT racing began in British Formula 4, where he won more races, secured more fastest laps and more podiums than any other driver in his rookie season, finishing 3rd in the championship. He went on to compete in the GB3 Championship from 2022 to 2024, earning multiple wins and podiums along the way, and was inducted into the BRDC Rising Star programme.
In 2025 he made the switch to sports cars look effortless, winning the GT4 Winter Series outright in his debut campaign before stepping into the GT4 European Series. His performances caught the attention of McLaren, who invited him to become a McLaren GT3 Junior and to spearhead the McLaren Elite Talent Pathway for 2026.
Away from the track, McKenzy studies Motorsports Engineering at Oxford Brookes University.
