Ricky Collard
Ricky Collard (born 30 July 1996) is a British professional racing driver from Frimley, Surrey, specializing in GT series and best known for securing the 2024 British GT Championship GT3 title alongside his father, Rob Collard, in a Lamborghini Huracán GT3 Evo2 for Barwell Motorsport.[1][2] Collard began his motorsport career in karting before advancing to single-seater racing, where he achieved runner-up finishes in the 2015 MSA Formula Championship and the 2016 BRDC British Formula 3 Championship.[1] Transitioning to tin-top racing, he competed in the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) from 2022 to 2023, driving for Toyota Gazoo Racing UK, with a best result of eighth place overall in 2023.[1][3] In GT racing, he has raced in events such as the GT World Challenge Europe and the ADAC Nürburgring 24 Hours, winning the SP8T class in 2017.[1] His 2024 British GT triumph marked his debut season in the series and his first major GT championship, clinched with a fifth-place finish at the Brands Hatch finale.[4] As of 2025, Collard continues to compete in the GT World Challenge Europe Sprint Cup and Endurance Cup with Barwell Motorsport in a Lamborghini Huracán GT3 Evo2, while his father defends the British GT title separately.[1]Personal life
Family background
Ricky Collard was born on 30 July 1996 in Frimley, Surrey, England.[1][5] He is the son of Rob Collard, a veteran competitor and multiple race winner in the British Touring Car Championship, and Deborah Collard (née Bradbury).[6][7] Collard has one younger brother, Jordan Collard, who also pursues a career in motorsport.[6][8] His grandfather, Mick "Duffy" Collard, was a pioneering hot rod racer who established the family's racing heritage more than 60 years ago, achieving fame as the 1980 Hot Rod World Champion.[9][10] The Collard family's deep-rooted involvement in motorsport significantly shaped Ricky's path, with the multi-generational legacy fostering early exposure to racing environments. He contributed to the family business early in his career, working full-time for his father's company, which supported his development in the sport.[11][9]Early interests
Ricky Collard grew up in Frimley, Surrey, where he was immersed in the world of motorsport from a young age through frequent visits to the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) paddock during his childhood and teenage years. This exposure to high-level racing events and the vibrant atmosphere of professional competitions fostered a deep fascination with the sport, extending beyond immediate family influences to include the broader motorsport culture of attending local and national races.[12] His initial spark of interest in speed and driving came at age five, when he received an off-road vehicle that ignited a passion for motorized activities and a sense of thrill on wheels. By age eight, this enthusiasm had evolved into a clear drive for competitive pursuits, setting the stage for his commitment to racing as a serious endeavor. These early experiences highlighted a personal affinity for adrenaline-fueled challenges, drawing him toward the competitive dynamics observed in live racing events. Around age ten, Collard made the decision to pursue racing professionally, motivated by the excitement of karting championships and the inspiring performances he witnessed in the wider motorsport scene. This choice marked a pivotal shift toward structured competition, influenced by the energy of circuits and events like those in the BTCC that he had attended regularly. As the son of a prominent racing figure, this step represented his own initiative to engage deeply with the sport's global appeal.[13]Early racing career
Karting
Ricky Collard entered competitive karting at the age of eight in 2004, driving a Zip Blade cadet chassis, with his first national title arriving two years later.[14] In 2006, at age 10, he won the FEKC Southern Cadet Championship at his debut attempt, establishing himself as a promising young talent supported by his family's racing background.[13][14] Collard progressed through regional and national events from 2007 to 2009, competing in the BRDC Stars of Tomorrow Cadet Championship—finishing 36th in 2007 and fourth in 2009—while also placing tenth overall in the Super 1 National Cadet Series in 2008.[14][13] Advancing to the KF3 class in 2010, he achieved eighth place in the national title chase despite suffering an injury from a crash that interrupted his season.[14] His 2011 campaign included strong showings in major British series, such as 12th in the KF3 MSA Super 1 British Junior Championship and sixth in the Kartmasters British Grand Prix KF3 category, alongside a 24th-place finish in the CIK-FIA U18 World Championship.[14][1] That year, racing for the Zip Young Guns team in a Zip chassis, Collard capped his karting career with victory in the Karting Formula 3 Winter Series at Grantham PFI, claiming two of the three final races.[15] In late 2011 and early 2012, Collard transitioned to single-seater racing, passing his ARDS test at Silverstone and joining Tolbar Racing for a debut in the Ginetta Junior Championship, backed by the Racing Steps Foundation.[13]Ginetta Junior Championship
Ricky Collard made his debut in single-seater car racing during the 2012 Ginetta Junior Championship, joining Tollbar Racing with WIRED for the mid-season round at Oulton Park in June.[16] At 15 years old and coming off a strong karting background that included an eighth-place finish in the U18 Karting World Championship earlier that year, Collard adapted to the Ginetta G40 Junior model over two races that weekend.[17] His entry marked a significant step up from karting, where he had honed skills in close-quarters racing, to managing the Ginetta's rear-wheel-drive handling, braking stability, and team-based strategy in a professional environment.[16] The debut weekend presented immediate challenges, including an off-track excursion in the second race that prompted a red flag and restart, testing his ability to recover under pressure.[18] Collard scored 10 points across his two outings, securing a 17th-place finish in the overall drivers' standings despite being ineligible for the championship due to limited participation.[19][1] These results highlighted his quick adaptation, with consistent top-10 contention in at least one race, providing essential experience in car control and racecraft before progressing to open-wheel formulas the following year.[1]Formula Ford and MSA Formula Championship
Ricky Collard made his full-time single-seater debut in the 2014 British Formula Ford Championship with the frontrunning Falcon Motorsport team.[20] Driving a Mygale M12-SJ chassis equipped with a 2.0-litre Ford Duratec engine and Dunlop tires, he competed alongside experienced teammate Harrison Scott and rookie Chris Mealin.[1] As the son of BTCC veteran Rob Collard, he entered the series after a strong karting background, including finishes of 8th in the 2012 CIK-FIA U18 World Karting Championship.[20] In his rookie season, Collard demonstrated rapid adaptation, securing five podium finishes across 29 races, including two second-place results at key events like Oulton Park.[21] These performances earned him 436 points, placing 7th in the overall drivers' standings while finishing as runner-up in the Scholarship class for emerging talents.[22] His consistency against established rivals helped build a solid foundation in open-wheel racing, highlighting his potential despite no race victories that year.[21] For the inaugural 2015 MSA Formula Championship, Collard switched to the TRS Arden team, part of the Arden International outfit, to campaign the more advanced Mygale M14-F4 chassis powered by a 1.8-litre Ford EcoBoost engine and fitted with Hankook tires.[22] He joined teammates Enaam Ahmed and Sandy Mitchell, both karting champions, in a lineup aimed at challenging for the title in the series' evolution from Formula Ford with improved aerodynamics and safety features.[22] Collard enjoyed a dominant campaign, claiming six victories from 30 races and 13 podiums overall, which propelled him to 2nd in the drivers' championship with 371 points—42 behind champion Lando Norris.[23][1] Notable wins included his first at Brands Hatch in April, where he held off Daniel Ticktum, and a fifth triumph at Rockingham in September by overtaking teammate Mitchell early in the sprint race.[24][25] Intense rivalries emerged with Norris of Carlin and American Colton Herta, who took four wins, as Collard consistently pressured the leaders despite occasional mechanical setbacks.[23][25] This period in Formula Ford and MSA Formula honed Collard's racecraft and adaptability, providing crucial experience in high-stakes wheel-to-wheel combat that facilitated his progression to the more demanding British Formula 3 Championship in 2016.[22]Professional racing career
British Formula 3 Championship
In 2016, Ricky Collard competed in the BRDC British Formula 3 Championship with the Carlin team, driving the specification Tatuus-Cosworth FA-016 single-seater powered by a 2.0-litre Cosworth V8 engine.[26][27] He recorded five wins and ten podium finishes over the 23-race campaign, finishing runner-up in the drivers' standings with 466 points, 27 behind champion Matheus Leist of Double R Racing.[28][26] Collard asserted early dominance, securing victories in the season-opening round at Snetterton and later at Oulton Park, where he triumphed in a race shortened by a major incident involving his teammate Lando Norris.[29][30] His championship lead grew through consistent podiums, including a breakthrough win at Rockingham that solidified his position atop the standings midway through the year.[31] However, setbacks at Silverstone and Spa-Francorchamps allowed Leist to close the gap, intensifying the title contention heading into the finale.[31] The championship decider at Donington Park encapsulated the season's drama, as Collard, starting with a 25-point advantage, suffered two crashes that eliminated him from contention.[32][33] Leist secured the crown with a conservative fifth-place finish in the final race, while Toby Sowery of Lanan Racing claimed victory and ended the year third overall.[32] Collard's strong single-seater results positioned him as a finalist for the prestigious 2016 McLaren Autosport BRDC Award, which offered testing in a McLaren 650S GT3 car and exposure to international teams.[34] This accolade, alongside his proven talent, facilitated his shift to GT racing as a BMW Motorsport Junior driver, debuting in the 2017 ADAC GT Masters with BMW Team Schnitzer in a BMW M6 GT3.[11][35]ADAC GT Masters
Ricky Collard's debut in GT racing came in the 2017 ADAC GT Masters season, where he competed for BMW Team Schnitzer in the BMW M6 GT3. As a BMW Motorsport Junior, he transitioned from single-seater formulas to the grand tourer category, adapting to the heavier car dynamics, tire management, and strategic elements of one-hour sprint races. This move allowed him to gain experience in a highly competitive field dominated by professional drivers from various manufacturers.[11][36] Throughout the season, Collard shared the No. 42 entry primarily with experienced co-driver Philipp Eng, whose guidance proved instrumental in navigating driver stints and race tactics. Their partnership yielded strong results early on, including a third-place finish in the opening race at Oschersleben before securing victory in the subsequent race there from pole position, marking Collard's first GT win after leading from start to finish. Another podium followed with third place in the first race at the Red Bull Ring, demonstrating his quick acclimation to GT racing's demands. These performances, combined with consistent points scoring, resulted in one victory, two podiums, and an overall 14th place in the drivers' standings with 61 points.[37][38][39] This season played a pivotal role in establishing Collard's GT credentials, providing foundational experience in professional team environments and paving the way for his subsequent international GT endeavors.[11][40][41]British Touring Car Championship
Ricky Collard made his British Touring Car Championship (BTCC) debut in 2018, substituting for his father Rob in the Team BMW entry driving a BMW 125i M Sport across four rounds.[12] Despite the late entry and limited preparation, he impressed with a third-place podium finish at Silverstone in the penultimate round, securing 46 points from 12 starts to finish 25th overall.[42][43] After a three-year hiatus focused on GT racing, Collard returned to the BTCC in 2022 for his first full-season campaign with Toyota Gazoo Racing UK (TGR UK) in a Toyota Corolla GR Sport.[3] The front-wheel-drive car presented adaptation challenges following his rear-drive GT experience, leading to a difficult first half of the season with inconsistent results.[44] He scored 81 points across 30 starts to place 16th in the drivers' standings, showing improvement in the latter rounds but hampered by the car's relative lack of competitiveness against hybrid rivals.[42] Midway through 2022, Collard announced his retirement from professional racing at age 26, citing personal and financial pressures, but reversed the decision to commit to a second season with TGR UK in 2023.[45][46] His performance peaked that year, with consistent points finishes and a second podium—a third place at Knockhill—contributing to 217 points and an eighth-place overall finish, his best BTCC result.[3][42] Budget constraints and the ongoing need for manufacturer support underscored the series' demands, influencing his shift toward GT racing thereafter.[47] Collard did not compete in the BTCC in 2024, opting instead for a full-time program in the British GT Championship to pursue greater opportunities in endurance events.[48] Over his BTCC career spanning 72 starts from 2018, 2022, and 2023, he achieved zero victories and two podiums, highlighting his potential amid competitive and financial hurdles in touring car racing.[42][49]British GT Championship
Ricky Collard entered the British GT Championship in 2024 with Barwell Motorsport, driving a Lamborghini Huracán GT3 Evo2 alongside his father, Rob Collard, in the GT3 class.[50][4] The father-son pairing leveraged Rob's extensive experience from prior GT campaigns, including his 2020 championship win, to form a formidable team dynamic marked by seamless strategy and mutual support during races.[51][52] The 2024 season proved highly successful, with the Collards securing two victories and five podium finishes across the eight-round calendar.[53] Their opening win came at Oulton Park in Race 1, where they dominated in wet conditions to lead from start to finish.[54] A second triumph followed at Donington Park, a lights-to-flag performance from pole that extended their points lead to 24.5 ahead of the finale.[55] Despite finishing fifth in the Brands Hatch season-ender, they clinched the GT3 drivers' title with 182 points, marking Lamborghini's third British GT crown and Rob's second as a driver.[4][52] This achievement highlighted the duo's synergy, with Ricky crediting his father's guidance in high-pressure situations as key to their consistency.[56] Building on Ricky's prior GT experience from the ADAC GT Masters series, the 2024 title represented a career pinnacle, solidifying his transition to professional GT racing and adding a national championship to his resume.[51] For 2025, Collard did not return to defend the title with Barwell Motorsport, which announced a restructured GT3 lineup featuring Rob paired with Hugo Cook and another entry with Alex Martin, Sandy Mitchell, and Patrick Kujala.[57][58] The absence was attributed to the escalating costs of GT competition, ending the immediate prospect of a family back-to-back defense.[51]GT World Challenge Europe
Ricky Collard entered the GT World Challenge Europe in 2019, contesting the Sprint Cup in the Silver Cup class with R-Motorsport, driving an Aston Martin Vantage AMR GT3 alongside Marvin Kirchhöfer.[59] The British-German pairing achieved a breakthrough victory in Race 2 at the Nürburgring, securing the win for R-Motorsport's new Aston Martin entry after a intense battle in wet conditions. They also recorded strong results at Brands Hatch, finishing seventh in Race 1 and fifth in Race 2, contributing to a competitive season debut on the international stage.[59][60] In 2020, Collard competed in the Endurance Cup at the Total 24 Hours of Spa, partnering Sandy Mitchell, his father Rob Collard, and Leo Machitski in the #77 Lamborghini Huracán GT3 Evo for Barwell Motorsport in the Pro-Am class.[61] The team delivered a commanding performance to claim the Pro-Am class victory, finishing 15th overall in a race marked by challenging weather and high attrition.[62] This success underscored Collard's growing prowess in endurance GT racing, adapting to longer stints and strategic pit decisions across the demanding Spa-Francorchamps circuit.[63] Collard returned to the series in 2025 on a part-season basis with Barwell Motorsport, starting with a late call-up for the Sprint Cup rounds at Misano and Magny-Cours, where he co-drove the #76 Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO2 with Bijoy Garg in the Gold Cup class.[64][65] For the Endurance Cup, he entered the Bronze Cup at the CrowdStrike 24 Hours of Spa alongside Garg, Rob Collard, and Adam Ali in the same #76 entry.[66] The quartet completed the 24-hour endurance test, finishing 34th overall and earning points in the Bronze Cup standings.[67] These outings highlighted Collard's versatility in the global GT format, navigating high-stakes international fields and collaborating with diverse co-drivers on varied European venues.[68]Racing record
