Driver Overview
Simon Watts is a British racing driver making his mark in the GT racing scene. In 2024, Watts partnered with experienced GT racer Alex Buncombe, returning to Team RJN to compete in the British GT Championship driving a McLaren. This followed Watts' debut in the series in 2022 where, despite missing rounds, he secured a podium finish in the Silver-Am class.
Before making the move to GT racing, Watts spent two years competing in the MSVR's Ford Focus Cup, and in 2025 he moved to Class 1 in the Focus Cup championship. He also has experience in historic motorsport, piloting high-powered prototypes and touring cars. In 2020, he worked with John Danby Racing, with Jake Hill driving Watts' Lola B2K/00 LMP2 Le Mans car at Donington Park.
Teaming up with a seasoned racer like Buncombe and with the experienced Team RJN, Watts is looking to build on his previous success and compete for top results in the British GT Championship.
