Aiden Robert Moffat (born 28 September 1996) is a British racing driver who is currently driving in the British Touring Car Championship for LKQ Euro Car Parts with Power Maxed Racing. He became the youngest driver ever to compete in the BTCC when he made his debut at the Knockhill round of the 2013 season.

Career

British Touring Car Championship

Moffat driving the Laser Tools Racing Chevrolet Cruze at Donington Park during the 2014 British Touring Car Championship season.

Moffat made his début in the British Touring Car Championship with Finesse Motorsport in the Jack Sears Trophy for S2000 cars at the Knockhill round of the 2013 season at the age of 16 years, ten months and 28 days, less than 12 months after racing in the Ginetta Junior series finale at Brands Hatch. This beat the record for youngest driver set by Tom Chilton when he made his debut in 2002 at the age of 17 years and 17 days.[1]

Moffat missed the round at Rockingham due to clashing with his other racing commitments, prior to the next round at Silverstone he switched to Tony Gilham Racing where he would drive an NGTC Volkswagen CC for the remaining two rounds of the season.[2]

He failed to score a point in the opening round of the 2017 BTCC Season, but took his first win in the next round at Donington Park.[3] He would add a second victory in the final round at Brands Hatch.

For the 2018 BTCC season, Moffat continued with Laser Tools Racing, where he had been since the 2014 season. In September 2018, he scored maximum points with a win in the 3rd race in the penultimate round at Silverstone. Overall, he finished 12th in the overall drivers' standings and came 6th in the Independents' Trophy.[4]

2019 came with a big change for Moffat and his team, Laser Tools Racing. Laser Tools made the bold switch from the front wheel drive of the Mercedes-Benz A-Class, to the rear-wheel-drive of the Infiniti Q50. This was the first time a Q50 appeared on the championship grid since 2015.[5] The Q50 made its long awaited debut at Snetterton. Moffat came 21st, 20th, and 20th again at Snetterton. Like 2018, Moffat surprisingly excelled with the Infiniti at Silverstone, earning a 2nd place finish in Race 3. At the end of the season, Moffat placed 18th in the main Drivers' championship, with 89 points.[6]

The 2020 season came as a roadblock for the championship and its drivers, due to COVID-19, with the season being delayed to August of that year [7]. Aiden Moffat had a new teammate in the battle-worthy and aggressive, Ash Sutton. While, Sutton quickly adapted to the Q50, Moffat stayed back from challenging for the championship, focussing on consistently finishing in point positions'[8]. At Brands Hatch, Aiden scored a season-best position, with 4th place in round 6 of the meeting in Kent. At the knife's edge of the season, the penultimate round of the championship at Snetterton, Moffat surprisingly came out on pole position. This was because of the draw for reverse pole in race 3 of the meeting.

Overall, Moffat came 15th in the Drivers' Championship and 10th in the Independents Championship. He also finished in point-scoring positions in over half of the season's 27 races, 15 to be exact.[9]

Moffat racing at Thruxton Circuit in 2026

2021 turned out to be Moffat's best ever season in the British Touring Car Championship. He took advantage of the Infiniti Q50's RWD technology and converted this into 25 out of 30 point-scoring finishes in the season. At Croft, Moffat took his first pole in race 1, in Saturday's qualifying. He challenged and pushed forward until the end of race, turning that pole into his fourth BTCC career victory. He successfully fended Jake Hill off from winning the first race. He then secured a second place finish in Race 2 at Croft, falling short to and trading places with Hill. Moffat was prosperous in beating Huddersfield's Dan Lloyd at Croft. Nevertheless, his teammate Ash Sutton took two from two Drivers' Championships, as Moffat made a name for himself with 4 podium finishes in the season.[10]

At the end of the 2021 campaign for Moffat and Laser Tools, Moffat finished a highest finish of 8th place in the Drivers' Championship and 6th in the Independents'. Laser Tools finished top of the table for the Teams' and Independent Teams' Championships. [11]
