Career

Karting

Macintyre has had some consistent karting results, although never competing in the OK category due to moving straight to cars age 14. His best karting result was in 2019, winning the Italian Championship in the 60 Mini category. [3]

Ginetta Junior Championship

For 2022, Macintyre was confirmed to be competing in the Ginetta Junior Championship following a decorated karting career. Over the course of the season, Macintyre fought for the title with Josh Rowledge, eventually losing out to Rowledge in the final round of the season at Brands Hatch. Macintyre finished 2nd in the championship, and was the highest placed rookie. [4]

Formula 4

Macintyre made his F4 debut in the 2022 GB4 Championship finale. He finished 2nd in two of the three races. On 4 November 2022, it was announced that Macintyre would race in the 2023 F4 British Championship with Hitech GP. [5] This would end up being a smart move for both Hitech and Macintyre, since he quickly found his feet in the title fight of the championship, with two second places at Brands Hatch in the second round of the season. [6] He went on to take 12 more podiums over the course of the season, and two wins overall. His first win came at Thruxton in June, [7] with the second coming at Knockhill in August. [8] Macintyre ended the season in second place in the championship, just 13 points shy of champion Louis Sharp of Rodin Carlin. [9]

GB3 Championship

2024

After Macintyre's successes in F4, he was called up by Hitech's GB3 team to become one of their three drivers for the 2024 season. [10] He made his mark on his debut race weekend, winning the reverse-grid race and making four overtakes at Oulton Park, a track which is infamous for its lack of overtaking opportunities. Macintyre continued to impress, securing two further victories in the championship at Silverstone and at Spa-Francorchamps. [11] [12] At season's end, consistency saw Macintyre finish outside the top ten just four times over the course of the 23 races held. He finished fifth in the standings as he helped his Hitech team to second in the teams' standings. [13] [14]

2025

In 2025, Macintyre switched to Elite Motorsport for his second GB3 campaign. [15] After taking a win and two further podiums, Macintyre was forced to end his season prematurely following diagnoses of lung and brain cancer. [16] [17]
