Christopher Lulham (born 31 March 2003 in Coldharbour, Surrey[1]) is a British racing driver currently competing in GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup for Verstappen.com Racing and GT World Challenge Europe Sprint Cup for Emil Frey Racing.[2]

A Team Redline member since 2021, Lulham is a iRacing Nürburgring 24 Hours and 24 Hours of Le Mans Virtual overall winner, having also taken titles in the 2020 British Formula 4 iRacing Trophy and 2021 VCO ProSIM Series.

Early career

[edit]

Lulham began karting in 2010.[3] Racing in karts until 2018, Lulham won the 2016 X30 Euro Series in the Junior category and the 2017 Trofeo Delle Industrie in OK, while also coming runner-up in the Karting World Championship in the same year, albeit in OKJ.[4][5][6]

After spending most of 2019 in sim-racing, Lulham joined Fortec Motorsport for a one-off appearance at the Silverstone round of the F4 British Championship.[7] After finishing 11th on debut,[8] Lulham took his first points in race two by finishing seventh,[9] and capped off the weekend with a fifth-place finish in race three.[10]

Five years later, Lulham returned to real life racing by competing in the 2024 Radical Cup UK.[11] In his only season in the series, Lulham won all but two races in the 18 race season to win the SR3 title in dominant fashion.[12]

At the start of 2025 it was announced that Lulham would compete in both the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup and GT World Challenge Europe Sprint Cup, marking his debut in real-life GT3 competition.[13]

Esports career

[edit]

Lulham began sim-racing in 2019 and began racing professionally on iRacing a year later. Competing in the British Formula 4 iRacing Trophy in 2020, Lulham won the season-opener at Donington Park,[14] and then took four more wins to take the title over Luke Browning by 14 points.[15][16] In 2021, Lulham joined Team Redline.[17] In his first year with the team, Lulham won the iRacing Nürburgring 24 Hours,[18] also winning the iRacing Daytona 24 Hours in GTE and winning the VCO ProSIM Series title at the end of the year.[19][20]

After winning the VCO Esports Racing World Cup the following year,[21] Lulham won the 2023 24 Hours of Le Mans Virtual overall and won the second edition of the VCO Esports Racing World Cup.[22][23]
