Early career

[edit | edit source]

Tuck raced in karts from 2009 to 2012, mainly competing in Rotax competitions in England.[3]

Stepping up to car racing in 2014, Tuck raced in the BRSCC Mazda MX-5 for two years, before moving to the Caterham Supersport Championship, where his performances earned him a one-off appearance at the Pembrey round of the 2016 Swift Sport Rallycross Championship.[4]

GT career

[edit | edit source]

Tuck made his full-time debut in the 2018 British GT Championship, codriving a BMW M4 GT4 with Ben Green for Century Motorsport.[5] Scoring one overall win in GT4 at Snetterton,[6] Tuck ended the season second overall in GT4, one point behind Jack Mitchell.[7] At the end of the year, Tuck entered the BMW Motorsport junior selection process, eventually falling short against Erik Johansson in the final four.[8]

Following a 2019 season largely spent in the Nürburgring-based VLN Series, Tuck remained with Walkenhorst Motorsport to compete in the inaugural season of the DTM Trophy.[9] At the first round of the season at Spa, Tuck qualified on pole and won the series' first-ever race.[10][11] Over the rest of the season, Tuck scored four more podiums to end the year 3rd in the standings.[12] In 2021, Tuck mainly competed in the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie again for Walkenhorst.[13] In six races contested in the SP9 class, Tuck won the sixth race of the season, which would turn out to be his only podium of the season.[14][15]

Tuck returned to full-time racing in 2023, joining TF Sport to compete in the LMGT3 class of the European Le Mans Series, aboard an Aston Martin Vantage AMR.[16] At the second round of the season at Le Castellet, Tuck finished third, scoring his only podium of the season.[17] In the winter of 2023, Tuck returned to TF Sport to compete in the 2023–24 Asian Le Mans Series.[18] Tuck scored a lone podium at the finale in Yas Marina and finished 11th in points.[19]

Tuck stayed in the newly-restyled LMGT3 class, but switched to JMW Motorsport for his second season in the European Le Mans Series, now driving a Ferrari 296 GT3.[20] As the only full-time driver for JMW throughout the season, Tuck scored a best result of sixth at Mugello.[21] During 2024, Tuck also raced in the 24 Hours of Le Mans for Proton Competition, sharing a Ford Mustang GT3 with factory driver Christopher Mies and John Hartshorne.[22] On his first race at the French enduro he finished 4th in class.[23] At the end of the year, Tuck joined Ferrari customer Kessel Racing to race in the 2024–25 Asian Le Mans Series alongside Dennis Marschall and Dustin Blattner.[24] The Briton took his first podium of the season in race one at Dubai by finishing third,[25] and ended the season with another third place finish at the season-ending Yas Marina round.[26]

Tuck competed in the 2025 24 Hours of Le Mans for Proton Competition, finishing ninth in the race.

In early 2025, Tuck returned to Proton Competition in LMGT3 to compete in his first season in the FIA World Endurance Championship with the Ford Mustang.[27] Tuck also returned to the European Le Mans Series, joining Kessel Racing alongside Takeshi Kimura and Daniel Serra in the team's Ferrari 296.[28] In addition to his WEC and ELMS commitments, Tuck won the Dubai 24 Hour for WRT in the BMW M4 GT3 Evo's race debut, and later joined the team in the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup alongside Jens Klingmann and Al Faisal Al Zubair.[29]
