Business ventures
[edit]Creed is the creative director and heir to the Creed perfume house,[1][2] which was founded by James Henry Creed in 1760.[3][4]
Racing career
[edit]Creed made his car racing debut in 2012, competing in the V de V Challenge Endurance Moderne.[5] After a brief spell in Mitjet 2L in 2013,[6] Creed returned to racing two years later, competing in the V de V Challenge Monoplace for Formula Motorsport.[7] Racing in all but two rounds, Creed took a best result of fourth at Magny-Cours to end the year 11th overall.[8] In 2016, Creed continued with Formula Motorsport for his second season in the V de V Challenge Monoplace,[9] taking his maiden series podium at Barcelona en route to a fifth-place points finish.[10]

The following year, Creed continued with Formula Motorsport for another season in the V de V Challenge Monoplace,[11] as well as finishing third in V de V's Endurance Challenge Scratch standings with TFT Racing.[12] In parallel, Creed competed with M.Racing - YMR in the LMP3 class of the European Le Mans Series,[13] taking a lone win at Monza alongside Ricky Capo,[14] as well as a podium in Le Mans Cup's Road to Le Mans with Yann Ehrlacher.[15] In 2018, Creed stepped up to LMP2 competition to compete in the 2018–19 FIA World Endurance Championship for Larbre Compétition alongside Romano Ricci and a rotating cast of drivers.[16] Creed scored a best class result of fourth at the 2019 1000 Miles of Sebring, and finished 12th in both the 2018 and 2019 24 Hours of Le Mans.[17] During both years, Creed made selected returns to the V de V and later Ultimate Cup Series' Monoplace division with Formula Motorsport, scoring a few podiums across both seasons.[18][19]

In 2020, Creed was set to race for Bentley-affiliated CMR in the GT World Challenge Europe Sprint Cup, but those plans were halted when the season was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.[20] Returning to racing in 2021, Creed made one-off appearances in the LMP3 classes of the Le Mans Cup and European Le Mans Series for Mühlner Motorsport and Inter Europol Competition respectively.[21][22] A cameo in the JS P4 class of the Ligier European Series in 2022 then ensued,[23] before Creed joined Audi-fielding CSA Racing to compete in the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup.[24] Dabbling between the Bronze and Pro-Am classes with Arthur Rougier,[25] Creed most notably took a podium in the latter class at the 24 Hours of Spa.[26]
Creed then returned to full-time endurance prototype competition in 2024, joining ANS Motorsport to race in the NP02 class of the European Endurance Prototype Cup, but only managed 29th in points.[27] In 2025, Creed raced at the Dubai 24 Hour for Team CMR,[28] and also returned to the European Endurance Prototype Cup with Cogemo Racing.[29] In his second season in the series, Creed scored wins at Algarve and Aragón en route to a fifth-place points finish, partnering Nico Prost and Marlon Hernandez.[30] At the start of 2026, Creed reunited with Team CMR to compete at the Dubai 24 Hour,[31] before continuing with Cogemo Racing for his third season in the European Endurance Prototype Cup, with Prost and Sebastián Álvarez.[32]
