McKenzy Cresswell

2021

In December 2020, Cresswell signed for JHR Developments to race in the 2021 British F4 Championship.^[6] As a build up to the transition from karting, Cresswell spent time at iZone Performance^[7][8] at Silverstone, where in addition to practice on the simulator, he worked on mindfulness training.^[9]

On his debut weekend at Thruxton, Cresswell scored a best result of second having claimed third on the starting grid for the final race of the weekend.^[10] Thruxton was followed by two third-place finishes at the Snetterton round^[11] and a best result of second in changeable conditions at the Brands Hatch Indy weekend.^[12] The first victory of the season occurred in the reverse grid race in the following round at Oulton Park. Similarly at the next round at Knockhill in Scotland, Cresswell secured victory in the reverse grid. With a return to qualifying form at the Croft round, Cresswell had his most successful weekend of the season; scoring a double pole, double win, leading every lap and two fastest laps.^[13] At the final event of the 2021 season at Brands Hatch, Cresswell scored a double victory^[14] to finish third in the championship.

2022

For 2022, Cresswell switched teams to Chris Dittmann Racing^[15] to compete in the GB3 Championship.

The season started with fourth place at Oulton Park over the Easter Weekend.^[16] A series of disappointing qualifying sessions was brought to an end with sixth on the grid at Spa Francorchamps, where the highlight of the season followed in race 2.^[17] Despite an incident on lap 1,^[18] which left Cresswell in ninth position, he recovered to finish fourth.^[19] on the road which became third^[20] after penalties were applied. The subsequent event at Silverstone saw Cresswell have another lap 1 incident in race 2 which resulted in the car rolling twice at Abbey curve.^[21] Cresswell was uninjured but was unable to continue for the weekend and did not start race 3.

2023

For the 2023 season, Cresswell remained in the GB3 Championship, largely due to the increase in the minimum weight of the car^[22][23] but switched teams to Elite Motorsport.^[24][25] The season started with a disastrous weekend, triggered by a mechanical failure in qualifying,^[26] at Oulton Park. With only four points from all three races Cresswell finished the weekend last in the Championship.^[27] Thereafter Cresswell rose to finally finish fourth, thanks to consistent performance and a late season podium run where he scored more points that anyone else.^[28]

2024

Cresswell opted to remain with Elite Motorsport for a third GB3 season in 2024.^[29] Budget issues prevented a move into FIA F3.^[30]

2025

Due the rising costs of single seater racing and desire to move into sports car racing,^[34] Cresswell switched to GT4 with Elite Motorsport at the beginning of 2025. Initially for the first two rounds of the GT4 Winter Series alongside Josh Rattican.^[35]

Cresswell elected to continue participation in the Championship after the success of the first two rounds.^[36] He partnered with Tom Lebbon for the remaining three events.

In the final race weekend in Barcelona, Cresswell needed only to finish seventh in his individual race to win the championship. Taking a conservative approach, he finished fourth. The championship was awarded to him individually as he has partnered with both Josh Rattican and Tom Lebbon during the series.^[37]

On 3 April, the organizers of GT4 European Series announced Cresswell would be contesting the championship with Elite alongside Josh Rattican following the performance in the Winter Series.^[38]

2026

Cresswell returned to GT4 European Series with Elite Motorsport for the 2026 season partnering Charlie Hart.^[39] This announcement was made shortly after Elite Motorsport partnered with McLaren to for the McLaren Elite Talent Pathway, aimed at tapping into Elite's history of nurturing young drivers into GT racing.^[40]

2025

2 Seas Motorsport participated in the Barcelona round of the GTOpen Championship and drafted Cresswell into partner Charles Dawson in the ProAm category.^[41]

2026

Greystone GT announced Cresswell would be running in their second pro car at the Spa 500 International GT Open event.^[42]
