Early career
Karting
Born in Truro and based near Camelford, Quinn started his karting career in 2011. [3] He competed in multiple championships such as the Super 1 National Rotax Mini Max Championship and won multiple national karting championships. [4]
British GT Championship
In 2018 Quinn competed in six races of the British GT Championship in the GT4 class. Driving for Steller Performance, Quinn scored no points. [7]
At the start of 2019, Quinn wasn't able to find a place in a championship. However, midway through the season he was given the opportunity to make his debut in the Formula Renault Eurocup for his former F4 team Arden Motorsport. He drove in three weekends, managing to score a podium at the Nürburgring and at Catalunya respectively. Quinn finished 13th in the final standings.
In 2020, Quinn substituted for Jackson Walls, who was unable to travel to Europe due to COVID-19 travel restrictions. [8] Quinn got pole position for the first race of the season, scored a total of five podiums throughout the season and won the second race at Spa, helping him to fourth in the drivers' championship. [9] He also won the rookie title.
Sportscar career
2024: ELMS success; Le Mans debut
For the following year, Quinn was initially announced to become the designated Endurance Cup driver in IMSA for United Autosports, however an upgrade of his driver categorization from silver to gold forced the Briton out of the seat. [19] [20] After competing at the 24 Hours of Daytona as the fourth driver for AO Racing, the Brit entered into the Pro-Am category of the European Le Mans Series with Algarve Pro Racing, partnering Richard Bradley and bronze-ranked Kriton Lendoudis. [21] [22] In addition, Quinn was able to make his 24 Hours of Le Mans debut with AO in the LMP2 Pro-Am subclass, finishing sixth in the overall category and second in the subclass alongside Louis Delétraz and team owner P. J. Hyett. [23] [24] The ELMS season began with fourth and sixth places, before a well-worked strategy earned the #20 team a victory at Imola. [25] Tidy performances gave Quinn and his teammates third at Spa and second at Mugello, which kept the squad in the title fight going into Portimão. [26] There, Quinn stayed out during the final stint and saved fuel in order to try and win the title. He led until being overtaken by a fully-fueled Bent Viscaal on the final lap, which demoted the #20 APR crew to second in both the race and the Pro-Am standings. [27] [28]
In the winter of 2024–25, Quinn joined Lendoudis and Olli Caldwell to race for APR in the Asian Le Mans Series. [29] Sixth in race one at Sepang was followed by good fortune in race two, as Algarve Pro's gamble on wet-weather tyres paid off to promote them to third before the race was abandoned. [30] In Dubai, the team returned to the podium with third in race 1. [31] The following day, Quinn made several overtakes in the closing stages of race 2 and benefited from a late collision for the leading Tom Dillmann to take the victory. [32] [33] Abu Dhabi saw Quinn shine once again, as he crossed the line in second following a gamble on fuel strategy. [34] Due to a steering column failure in race 2 of the weekend, the team dropped to fourth in the LMP2 standings. [35] [36]
2025
Quinn remained in the ELMS for the 2025 season, remaining at APR alongside Caldwell and Lendoudis. [37] After finishing second in class at Barcelona, both Quinn and Caldwell suffered penalties at Le Castellet and finished sixth. [38] [39] [40] [41] Despite late-race contact in the 4 Hours of Imola with Mathias Beche, Quinn held on to third place. [42] [43] In Spa-Francorchamps, Quinn benefited from a late Full-Course Yellow period to overcut Marino Sato for the race lead, allowing him to claim fourth overall and the win in Pro-Am. [44] Thanks to these results, the team vaulted to the championship lead. [45] Quinn became the catalyst for APR's victory at the next round in Silverstone: he charged into the lead as the rain picked up during his first stint, before battling Louis Delétraz hard to keep his position. [46] Though Delétraz got past, he was later penalised for driving standards, and Quinn inherited the win of the red-flag-shortened race by just over a tenth of a second. [46] [47] In the week after this victory, Quinn was confirmed to remain with Algarve Pro for the 2026 season. [48]
