Michael Ronald Meadows (born 11 September 1987 in Oxford) is a British racing driver. He is a two-time champion in Porsche Carrera Cup GB and won the 2018 Blancpain GT Series Sprint Cup alongside Raffaele Marciello. Since his retirement in 2020, he has been team manager for the Argenti Motorsport Formula 4 team.[1]

Career

In 2012 and 2013, he became the overall champion in Porsche Carrera Cup Great Britain.[2] For the past five years, he has finished in the top two. In 2014, Meadows won more races than Josh Webster, but Webster's greater consistency allowed him to take the overall championship by nine points, ahead of the two-time defending champion Meadows. In 2015, he was beaten by Daniel Cammish, the ex-champion in British Formula Ford. In the ten years he has raced, Meadows has notched up 31 career wins.

Meadows made his debut racing in the 2005 Formula BMW UK series. As well as this, he has appeared in Porsche Supercup, International Formula Master, Blancpain Endurance Series and the British GT Championship. [3]

Personal life

He was born in Oxford, Oxfordshire but now lives in London. His father is Mercedes-AMG F1 sporting director Ron Meadows, who founded the Argenti Kart Team in 2019.[4]
