Tom Emson
British racing driver (born 2002)
Thomas Robert Emson (born 27 July 2002) is a British racing driver who competes for Elite Motorsport with Entire Race Engineering in International GT Open.
Career
Emson began his car racing career in 2017, competing in the Ginetta Junior Winter Series for Elite Motorsport. Racing in the following year's main season as a privateer, Emson scored a best result of seventh at Silverstone to end the season 11th overall. At the end of the year, Emson returned to the championship's Winter Series, taking two podiums and finishing third in the overall standings.
In 2019, Emson reunited with Elite for his second season in the Ginetta Junior Championship, scoring his maiden career win at Brands Hatch but ending the season 11th again as he skipped the final two rounds to make his Ginetta GT4 Supercup debut. Continuing with Elite for his first full-season in Ginetta GT4 Supercup the following year, Emson primarily raced in Pro-Am, scoring ten wins and five other podiums to take third in the class standings. Remaining with the team for his full-time debut in the Pro class in 2021, Emson took his maiden overall win at the Brands Hatch finale and five other podiums en route to a sixth-place points finish.
The following year, Emson continued in Ginetta GT4 Supercup in the newly-created G56 Pro class, scoring five outright wins and ten more podiums to secure runner-up honours behind James Kellett. Following the demise of the Ginetta GT4 Supercup series, Emson switched to the GT4 European Series in 2023, as he partnered up with Josh Rattican to drive Elite's McLaren Artura GT4. In his rookie season in the series, Emson took a lone win at Barcelona from pole to take seventh in the Silver Cup standings.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Tom Emson” as british racing driver (born 2002). Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as british racing driver (born 2002). Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 14, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q140406610. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2002, 2017, 2019 and 2021.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
