Racing Career

2010 – American Le Mans Series with Dyson Racing

Capitalising on his experience in the LMP1 Kolles Audi R10, Andy will be competing in the prototype class of the manufacturer-led American Le Mans Series.  Run to the same technical regulations as the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans, the series is now in its 12th year and continues to attract more motor manufacturers than any other, and consistently out ranks the North American single-seater championships in terms of TV viewing figures.  Driving a Mazda-powered Lola B09/86 with Chris Dyson and former Le Mans winner Guy Smith, Andy will be aiming to not only make his mark but also benefit from the combined experience of his team mates and one of the most distinguished teams on the grid.

2009 – Le Mans Series with Kolles

Racing an Audi R10TDi, Andy helped the new sports car team to its season-best finish with a fourth place at the Nürburgring, and set the team’s best qualifying effort at Silverstone.  Competing against highly experienced sports car stars such as Nicolas Minassian, David Brabham, Tomas Enge and Darren Turner, Andy quickly found his feet in the new category and used every opportunity as a learning experience to develop strategy, endurance and consistent race pace – key qualities needed to succeed in this challenging formula.  He proved himself amongst a team of rookies and came to the attention of teams throughout the world.

 

2008 - British F3 International Series National Class with Carlin Motorsport

With just three years experience in racing, Meyrick made the jump to the prestigious British F3 Series in 2008. The proving ground for F1 legends Jackie Stewart, Emerson Fittipaldi, Ayrton Senna and Mika Hakkinen and modern day F1 racers David Coulthard, Rubens Barrichello, Takuma Sato, Mark Webber and Jenson Button, British F3 is the series to watch for tomorrow’s racing stars. Meyrick stunned onlookers with an incredible 7 wins and 10 pole positions from 12 starts. These results saw Meyrick become a BRDC Rising Star and one of only six MSA Elite Drivers.

2007 - Formula Renault 2.0 UK Winter Cup with Team AMR

Having missed out on a full season of racing, Meyrick competed in the incredibly competitive Formula Renault Winter Cup in 2007. Racing against more experienced drivers and in a field of 32 cars, Meyrick brought his independently run car home in an impressive 6th place in the final championship standings.

FIA Thoroughbred Grand Prix

Meyrick became the youngest person to compete in the Thoroughbred Grand Prix when he took his place behind the wheel of at 1976 March F1 car in 2007. Racing at the infamous Nürburgring, Meyrick was leading with four laps to go, when he suffered a race-ending mechanical failure.

2006 - UK Formula Ford (Duratec) Championship

Great pace and progress throughout pre-season testing suggested a strong season lay ahead, but a series of first lap collisions – in which Meyrick was largely an innocent victim – brought title hopes to an early conclusion.

Formula Renault BARC Championship with Falcon Motorsport

Having decided on a change of direction for the second half of the 2006 season, Meyrick moved up to Formula Renault, for his first taste of ‘slick and wings’ formula racing. Despite his relative inexperience, Meyrick was immediately competitive and a consistent frontrunner.

2005 - North West Pre 90 Formula Ford 1600 Championship

While most aspiring racing drivers spend their teenage years pounding round karting tracks and gaining race experience, Meyrick was an absolute motorsport novice when he entered his first Formula Ford race in 2005. The Chester based rookie went on to win 10 races that season, the first indication of Meyrick’s true speed and racing ability.
