Zac Brian Meakin (born 18 November 2006) is a British-Ukrainian racing driver set to compete for Greystone GT in International GT Open.

Career

[edit]

Meakin stepped up to car racing in 2021, joining Raceway Motorsport to compete in the Ginetta Junior Championship.[1] Spending two seasons in the series,[2] Meakin scored a lone podium at Thruxton in his sophomore season, in which he drove for Preptech UK on his way to 11th in points.[3] The following year, Meakin switched to GT4 competition as he joined Team Parker Racing in the British GT Championship.[4] Starting off with a Porsche Cayman, Meakin took pole at Silverstone as the grid was set by FP2 times,[5] and scored a best result of sixth at Oulton Park as he ended the year 14th in points after switching to a McLaren Artura mid-season.[6][7]

Staying in GT4 competition for 2024, Meakin joined Elite Motorsport to race in the GT4 Winter Series alongside Tom Lebbon.[8] After taking his maiden win in car racing at Estoril,[9] Meakin won at Jerez,[10] before taking his fourth win of the season at Valencia.[11] Meakin took a final win at Barcelona on his way to third in points.[12] For the rest of the year, Meakin returned to the GT4 class of the British GT Championship, joining Optimum Motorsport for his sophomore season alongside Jack Brown.[13] Taking his first win of the season at Silverstone,[14] Meakin took further wins at Donington Park,[15] Snetterton and Brands Hatch to clinch the GT4 title at season's end.[16][17] At the end of 2024, Meakin made his International GT Open debut at Monza for Optimum Motorsport alongside Mikey Porter.[18]

Meakin returned to International GT Open the following year, returning to Optimum Motorsport alongside Porter for his first full-season in the series.[19] In the season-opening round at Algarve, Meakin took his maiden series podium in race two by finishing second,[20] a feat he repeated at the Hungaroring and Le Castellet to end the year eighth in points.[21][22] During 2025, Meakin made a one-off appearance in the GT4 European Series for RAFA Racing by Race Lab at Spa, replacing Julius Dinesen in the team's No. 81 entry.[23] Meakin also made his debut in the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup for Greystone GT at Barcelona, finishing sixth in the Silver Cup on his debut.[24]

After winning the 6 hours of Portimão with Greystone GT at the start of the year,[25] Meakin continued with the team for the rest of the year to compete in International GT Open and the 24 Hours of Spa,[26][27] as a new addition to the McLaren GT3 Junior Driver Programme.[28]
