Career

Stanley made his car racing debut in 2005, racing at the Walter Hayes Trophy.[3] After spending two years in Formula Ford competition and racing in the Lotus Elise Trophy in 2009, Stanley joined Speedworks Motorsport to compete in the G4 class of the British GT Championship the following year.[4] Sharing a Ginetta G50 with Christian Dick, Stanley began the year by winning at Oulton Park, Spa and both Knockhill races,[5][6][7] before ending the season with a win at Donington Park and three other podiums to secure the G4 title.[8][9]

In 2011, Stanley raced in the Lotus Cup UK, finishing seventh in the Exige Cup standings.[10] before making one-off appearances in the MSV F3 Cup for Lanan Racing and the British GT Championship for FF Corse's Ferrari F430 GT3 in the GT3B class in 2012 and 2013, respectively.[11][12] Returning to full-time British GT competition for 2014,[13] Stanley drove Fox Motorsport's Ginetta G55 GT4 to a seventh-place points finish with a lone podium at Brands Hatch, partnering Paul McNeilly.[14] In parallel, Stanley raced in the GT Cup Championship, in which he secured the GTC title alongside John Seale aboard a Ferrari 458.[15]

Continuing with Fox for 2015, Stanley won race two at Snetterton and finished on the podium in race two at Oulton Park to take sixth in points.[16][17] During 2015, Stanley also raced for FF Corse in select rounds of the GT Cup Championship, finishing fourth in GTC with two wins to his name,[18] as well as making a one-off appearance in the Caterham Supersport Championship.[19] The following year, Stanley made a one-off appearance in International GT Open at Silverstone, driving a Ferrari 488 GT3 alongside McNeilly.[20] After winning race one in the Am class and taking overall pole for race two,[21] Stanley's car was reclassified as a Pro-Am entry for race two, in which he finished seventh overall.[22] During 2016, Stanley also made select appearances in the British GT Championship for Fox Motorsport in GT4,[23] as well as the Dubai 24 Hour in the SP3 class for track-club.[24]

After primarily racing in the Britcar Endurance Championship for FF Corse in 2017,[25] Stanley returned to Fox Motorsport for select rounds of the 24H GT Series Europe, winning the 24 Hours of Portimão and the 12 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps to take runner-up honors in GT4.[26] One-off appearances in the British GT Championship for Lamborghini-fielding JMH Automotive and Ferrari customer team FF Corse then ensued over the next two seasons,[27][28] before Stanley reunited with Fox Motorsport for his full-time return to the series in 2021.[29] Driving a McLaren 570S GT4 with Nick Halstead, Stanley scored wins at Snetterton and Donington Park, as well as four other podiums en route to runner-up honours in GT4 Pro-Am.[30] During 2021, Stanley also drove for JMH Automotive in select rounds of the Britcar Endurance Championship, winning all four of the races he started to take third in the Class 1 standings.[31]

Stanley and Halstead then graduated to GT3 full-time with Fox the following year, driving a McLaren 720S GT3 in British GT.[32] After finishing on the podium at Oulton Park and taking an outright win at Spa, despite racing under appeal for failing post-qualifying technical checks,[33] the pair capped off the year sixth in GT3 Pro-Am when his Spa win was upheld by the UK's National Court in September.[34] During 2022, Stanley also raced for Ferrari-linked AF Corse in select rounds of the International GT Open season,[35] primarily racing in the Am class, in which he finished fifth in points after taking a class podium in all five races he started.[36] Across the following three seasons, Stanley often ran with Laurent de Meeûs in the International GT Open's Pro-Am class for AF Corse,[37] taking a best outright result of 10th at Spa in 2023.[38][39] During this time period, Stanley also helped RNR Performance Cars clinch the Class B title of the 2023 British Endurance Championship as the class' sole entrant throughout the season.[40] In early 2026, Stanley raced for Dragon Racing at the 6 Hours of Abu Dhabi alongside Ferrari regular Matt Griffin, John Dhillon and de Meeûs.[41]
