Thomas Fleming is a British racing driver who is set to compete in the LMGT3 class of the FIA World Endurance Championship for Garage 59.

Early career

Fleming started his professional karting career in 2018. Finishing third in the X30 Junior standings of the LGM Series in the same year for BMR, Fleming joined Dan Holland Racing during 2020, with whom he stayed with throughout the rest of his karting career. With Dan Holland Racing, Fleming finished third in the 2021 British Karting Championship and the 2022 LGM Series in X30 Junior, and also finished runner-up in the 2022 Kartmasters British GP to Kai Hunter in Rotax Senior. Whilst studying at the University of Reading, Fleming participated in the premier class of British University Kart Championship representing his university in the "Reading A" team. In his second season, he was able to win the BUKC championship in the 2023–24 season, the first in the university's history.
Stepping up to car racing in 2023, Fleming joined FF Corse to compete in Ferrari Challenge Europe. Finishing second from last on the grid to Eliseo Donno on debut at Valencia, Fleming won both races at Misano, but was disqualified from race two for failing post-race inspection. After standing on the podium once in the following two rounds, Fleming won both races at Estoril to put himself 23 points behind Donno with two rounds left. In the final two rounds of the season, Fleming won twice at both Spa and Mugello to finish the season runner-up to Donno by 12 points. At the end of the year, Fleming took part in the Ferrari Challenge Finali Mondiali at Mugello, in which he was able to hold off Donno to take the Trofeo Pirelli title.

GT3 career

In early 2024 it was announced that Fleming would pair up with Ferrari Challenge rival Eliseo Donno at AF Corse for the 2024 GT World Challenge Europe Sprint Cup. In the opening round of the season at Brands Hatch, the pair finished third among the Silvers in race one. In race two, Fleming earned his first class win by finishing 11th. In the following round at Misano, Fleming suffered a massive crash in free practice, which meant neither he nor Donno would race in that weekend. At the Hockenheimring, Fleming took his second class win of the season by finishing fourth overall in race one, while in race two he finished 21st after being given a penalty for exceeding track limits. After scoring a third class win, at the penultimate round of the season, Fleming ended the season fourth in the Silver category and 13th overall in the Drivers' standings.
Fleming remained in GT3 competition in 2025, racing in the European Le Mans Series in GR Racing's Ferrari 296 GT3, and the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup in Garage 59's McLaren 720S GT3 Evo. In the former, Fleming scored podiums at Le Castellet and Silverstone to end the year seventh in the LMGT3 points, and for his performances in the series, Fleming was selected for the WEC rookie test, giving him the opportunity to sample the championship winning car from 2025. During 2025, Fleming also made a one-off appearance in International GT Open, driving for Garage 59 at the Hockenheimring round alongside Marvin Kirchhöfer. The duo won both races from pole. Fleming also raced in the last three rounds of the GT World Challenge Europe Sprint Cup for the same team, scoring three Gold Cup wins which included an overall podium at Valencia to end the year sixth in the class standings.

Prototype career

Having tested LMP2 machinery for Nielsen Racing in the 2024 European Le Mans Series rookie tests at Algarve, Fleming joined the team for the following year, racing in the LMP3 class of the Michelin Le Mans Cup alongside Colin Noble in an ADESS AD25.
