About Carl Bennett
Carl Wattana Bennett, born on September 2, 2004, is a rising Thai-American racing driver quickly making a name for himself in the world of motorsports. Though born in the United States, he was raised in Bangkok, Thailand, where his passion for racing ignited. Bennett began his motorsport journey in karting, achieving multiple wins and championship titles in competitions like Rotax Max Thailand, the IAME Asia Cup, and the IAME International Final.
Transitioning to single-seaters, Bennett entered the YACademy Winter Series in the USA, showcasing his talent with top-10 finishes. He further honed his skills in the Formula 4 United States Championship, securing several top-10 results. In late 2022, he made his European debut in the GB4 Championship at Donington Park with Fortec Motorsport. Recognizing his potential, two-time Formula One World Champion Fernando Alonso's A14 Management signed Bennett in 2023 to guide his career.
In a significant shift, Bennett transitioned to endurance racing. He achieved a podium finish in the Asian Le Mans Series in the LMP2 category before progressing to the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) with Isotta Fraschini in 2024, competing in the Hypercar class. In 2025 he was named a primary driver for Cool Racing Team. He also participated in the International GT Open racing series with AF Corse. Carl is representing Issota Fraschini at the 2024 World Endurance Championships. He was previously a "Reserve driver" but his performances have seen him to progress to an "Active driver" for 2024.
