Deagen Fairclough (born April 2006) is a British racing driver who is from Crawley.[1] Fairclough is set to compete in the 2024 F4 British Championship with Hitech GP.[2] His inaugural season of the championship was 2023, where he finished in 3rd in the drivers' championship for JHR Developments.[3]
Career
Junior cars
In 2020, Fairclough began his car racing career after a little karting experience, which he started age 5. Fairclough was just 13 years old when he started racing for Orex Racing in the Junior Saloon Car Championship, and he managed to finish in 6th place by the end of the year.[4] For 2021, Fairclough moved to a part-time season in the Fiesta Junior Championship driving for Jamsport with Ciceley Motorsport. He amassed 8 wins from 14 races on the way to 5th in the drivers standings.[5]
Formula 4
On 15 May 2022, it was announced by ROKiT that Fairclough had won its online eSports competition alongside Monica Boulton Ramos.[6] The prize for winning the competition was a free seat in the 2023 F4 British Championship with a new team; ROKiT F4 Racing, which would be run by Hitech GP.[7] Instead, Fairclough impressed enough to get a full time seat at JHR Developments.[8] Fairclough got off to a strong start to the championship, with 5 top ten finishes in the first 6 races, including a podium at Brands Hatch Indy. He went on to score three more podiums before round eight, in which he scored his first win. Fairclough wrapped up the season strongly, with two more wins in the final two rounds to finish a brilliant 3rd in his opening season.[9]
On 9th November 2023, it was announced that Fairclough would race for Hitech GP in the 2024 F4 British Championship.[10] In addition, he would race for them in the UAE in preparation for the British F4 season.
