Scott Andrews (racing driver)

Scott Andrews is an Australian racing driver currently racing for Lone Star Racing in the GTD class of the IMSA SportsCar Championship.
Andrews is the 2015 F1600 Championship Series and 2021 IMSA Michelin Endurance Cup LMP3 champion, as well as an LMP2 podium finisher. He has once competed in DPi, with JDC–Miller MotorSports at the 2020 12 Hours of Sebring.

Early career

Andrews started racing in the Australian Commodore Cup Series in 2008, and would stay in the championship until 2011, when he switched to single-seaters on a full-time basis, racing in the Victorian Formula 1600 Series and testing Formula 3 machinery at the end of the year.
With help from James Davison, Andrews joined JDC MotorSports for the final two rounds of the 2013 U.S. F2000 National Championship season. In the four races he contested, he scored a best result of sixth on debut at Laguna Seca. Andrews returned to JDC Motorsports in early 2014, racing in the U.S. F2000 Winterfest. Andrews stayed in the States for 2015, joining Exclusive Autosport to compete in the F1600 Formula F Championship, which he would win with two races to spare at Pittsburgh International Race Complex.

Prototype career

In late 2016, Andrews made his LMP3 debut, joining Wineurasia ahead of the 4 Hours of Fuji. In the three races Andrews drove in, he scored a best result of fifth at Buriram and ended the season 12th in the standings. Following his Asian Le Mans outings, Andrews joined KEO Racing to compete in the opening round of the 2017 Le Mans Cup. Having retired on his debut at Monza, Andrews switched to Graff Racing ahead of the Road to Le Mans. Towards the end of 2018, Andrews joined United Autosports's LMP3 program to race in the final two rounds of European Le Mans Series. On his ELMS debut, Andrews won the rain-shortened 4 Hours of Spa.
Following a season spent in the IMSA Prototype Challenge, Andrews was set to rejoin Gerry Kraut for the 2020 European Le Mans Series season, however due to the pandemic, their entry was withdrawn before the season got underway. Having withdrawn from ELMS, Andrews returned to JDC MotorSports alongside Kraut in IMSA Prototype Challenge. Andrews won at Sebring and Road America and concluded the year fifth in the standings.
At the IMSA season-ending 2020 12 Hours of Sebring, Andrews made his top class debut, joining Matheus Leist and Stephen Simpson in JDC–Miller MotorSports's privateer Cadillac DPi-V.R. Andrews finished fourth, which tied the car's best result of the season.
In late 2020, Andrews joined Riley Motorsports for the endurance rounds of the 2021 IMSA SportsCar Championship. Andrews and teammate Gar Robinson opened up the season by winning the 24 Hours of Daytona in LMP3, and took further wins at Watkins Glen and Road Atlanta to clinch the Michelin Endurance Cup title. During 2021, Andrews also raced in the 2021 Le Mans Cup for United Autosports, with whom he'd score maximum points at Barcelona and win at Monza to end the season fifth in points. Andrews and Kraut would reunite again for the 2023 Le Mans Cup, but the season proved unsuccessful, as they finished 19th in the LMP3 standings.
Having only raced in LMP2 once in 2017, Andrews partnered Gerry Kraut for JDC–Miller MotorSports's one-off LMP2 entry at the Road America round of the 2024 IMSA SportsCar Championship. Andrews achieved a historic podium, coming second to United Autosports's Ben Hanley and Ben Keating on his return to the category. During 2025, Andrews made a one-off return to LMP2 competition for JDC–Miller MotorSports at Road America.

GT career

In early 2016, Andrews made his GT3 debut at that year's Bathurst 12 Hour, joining Performance West Motorsport alongside Peter Rullo and Nick Percat.
Making his return to GT Racing in 2021, Andrews joined Kessel Racing to compete in the 2021 FIA World Endurance Championship, albeit as a guest entry, at the 8 Hours of Portimão and then from the 24 Hours of Le Mans onwards.
In 2023, Andrews joined Lone Star Racing to compete in the GS class of the Michelin Pilot Challenge alongside Anton Dias Perera. Scoring only one podium, a second-place finish at Indianapolis, Andrews returned to GT3 machinery on the same weekend, racing at the Indianapolis round of the IMSA SportsCar Championship with the same team. Andrews remained with Lone Star Racing for 2024, racing in the endurance rounds of the IMSA SportsCar Championship alongside Salih Yoluç and Rui Andrade. The part-time effort yielded mixed results, headlined by a breakthrough pole position at Petit Le Mans, where Andrews gapped the GTD field by three tenths and outqualified several GTD Pro cars.
In early 2025, Andrews joined Geyer Valmont Racing to race in the Bathurst 12 Hour enduro for the first time in nine years. Andrews snuck into the top-ten pole shootout and finished 17th overall and third in Pro-Am. On January 8, 2025, it was announced that Andrews would stay with Lone Star Racing to race in the endurance rounds of the 2025 IMSA SportsCar Championship, in which he scored a best result of ninth at Sebring.
Andrews returned to Lone Star Racing in 2026 to race in the GTD class of the IMSA SportsCar Championship.
