Career

Wood began karting in 2008, competing until 2015.[1] In his time in karts, Wood most notably won the 2014 LGM Series in IAME Cadet,[2] before clinching the Formula Kart Stars title and winning the Kartmasters British GP in Junior karts the following year.[3]

Stepping up to cars in 2016, Wood joined Elite Motorsport to compete in the Ginetta Junior Championship.[4] In his first season in the series, Wood took a best result of second in race two at Rockingham and a third place-finish in race two at Knockhill to end the year 11th in points.[5] Switching to HHC Motorsport for 2017,[6] Wood took his only series win at Snetterton and eight other podiums to take fifth in points.[7] The following year, Wood joined Aston Martin-fielding Academy Motorsport to race in the GT4 class of the British GT Championship.[8] After finishing ninth in the GT4 Silver points, Wood switched to the team's GT4 European Series programme in 2019,[9] as a candidate for the AMR Driver Academy.[10] Dabbling between the Pro-Am and Silver classes in his only season in the series, Wood scored two class podiums in the former at Brands Hatch en route to a tenth-place points finish.[11]

Wood's No. 15 BMW leading the No. 1 Aston Martin at Oschersleben in ADAC GT4 Germany in 2023.

Two seasons of select appearances in the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie for BMW-linked Walkenhorst Motorsport in Cup 5 then followed,[12] before joining Aston Martin-fielding Racing One for the 2022 ADAC GT4 Germany season.[13] In his rookie season in the series, Wood scored a best result of second at Oschersleben from pole,[14] as well as a pair of third-place finishes at the Red Bull Ring and Hockenheimring to take eighth in the overall standings.[15] Wood then switched to BMW customer team FK Performance Motorsport for 2023,[16] scoring a lone third-place finish at the Sachsenring to end the year 13th in points.[17] In parallel, Wood also raced in the Hagerty Radical SR1 Cup,[18] finishing runner-up in points to Theo Micouris.[19] Wood then sat out most of 2024, only returning to racing late in the year by making his GT3 debut in the Brands Hatch enduro of the British GT Championship for Beechdean AMR.[20]

Wood driving his No. 97 Beechdean Aston Martin at British GT's Donington opener in 2025.

Joining Beechdean full-time in British GT in 2025,[21] Wood and team boss Andrew Howard secured four Silver-Am wins and finished on the podium in the other four races to seal the class title at season's end.[22] Wood notably topped the overall timesheets in qualifying at Brands Hatch.[23] The following year, Wood remained in Aston Martin machinery as he joined Racing Spirit of Léman to race in the GT3 class of the Le Mans Cup, but was replaced prior to the season.[24] During 2026, Wood also made a one-off appearance in the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup for Ecurie Ecosse Blackthorn.[25]
