Biography

Halstead was a relative latecomer to racing, making his debut in 2017 and winning the Am category of the Ginetta GT5 Challenge in just his second season.

Halstead went on to become a regular on the BTCC support package in the Ginetta GT4 Supercup, scoring 16 podiums – including five wins – in his debut year alone, and then entered the British GT Championship in the GT4 Pro/Am class in 2020, ending the year as Vice Champion.

In 2021, Halstead made his Championship debut, after Rick Parfitt was unable to take part at Croft. Improving throughout race day, the Kent racer secured a best finish of 21st during the third contest on the 2.13-mile circuit.

In 2023, he embarked on his first full season in the Championship with defending champions BRISTOL STREET MOTORS with EXCELR8.

Halstead returns to the renamed Team BRISTOL STREET MOTORS in 2024 looking to add to his two points scoring results of 2023, with a best result of seventh coming in the opening round at Donington Park.
