Bailey Voisin (born 20 February 2003) is a British racing driver currently competing in the European Le Mans Series with United Autosports. [1] He is a champion of the GT4 European Series, having won the title alongside Charlie Fagg in 2021. [2]
Voisin made his car racing debut, competing for Douglas Motorsport in the Ginetta Junior Championship. [3] His season proved to be a challenge, as the Swiss driver ended up 13th overall, having scored a best race finish of seventh at Thruxton.
The following season, Voisin returned to the Ginetta Junior series, this time driving for R Racing. [4] The start of the campaign brought immediate success, with Voisin winning the season opener in Donington and taking a pair of victories, as well as a podium, during round two at Brands Hatch. [5] [6] More wins at Knockhill and Thruxton elevated Voisin into the title battle, before he claimed another double, this time at Silverstone. [7] [8] Despite a triple of podiums at the penultimate round, Voisin would miss out on the title at Brands Hatch, ending up third, a mere twelve points behind championship winner Tom Lebbon. [9]
In 2021, it was announced that Voisin would be making a switch to the GT4 European Series, pairing up with Charlie Fagg at United Autosports. [10] At the season opener in Monza, Voisin and Fagg took a pair of victories, surging into the lead of the championship. [11] A podium at Paul Ricard followed before a pair of points finishes came in Zandvoort, which put the team behind the Nr.8 CMR entry in the standings. [12] This would not deter the British pairing, who bounced back with pole position and a race win in Belgium, as well as two podiums at the Nürburgring. [13] [14] [15] [16] Voisin, along with Fagg, clinched the title at the final round in Barcelona, having finished Race 1 in fifth place, thus creating an unreachable lead in the overall championship. [17] [18] [19]
The Briton progressed to the European Le Mans Series in 2022, returning to United Autosports, with whom he would compete in the LMP3 category alongside Josh Caygill and Finn Gehrsitz. [20] [21] Their season started in strong fashion, as the team finished third at Le Castellet, which turned into second once a car ahead had been disqualified. [22] [23] However, the outfit were unable to match that result for the following four rounds, with two retirements sandwiching a pair of points finishes. The season ended positively, with Voisin, Gehrsitz and Caygill taking another second place in the Algarve, which elevated them to eighth in the championship. [24] [25]
