A former Ginetta factory driver, Robertson has won titles in the Ginetta Junior Championship, the Ginetta GT4 Supercup and the European Le Mans Series' LMP3 class.[3] He also raced in LMP1 in the FIA World Endurance Championship, notably taking the fastest lap at the 2019 4 Hours of Shanghai.[4]

Early career

Robertson began karting at the age of eight, winning the Scottish Open in the Cadet class in 2006 and the Scottish S-plate Championship in 2007.[5] Following two years in the Ginetta Junior Championship where he won the 2012 title,[6] Robertson switched to the BRDC Formula 4 Championship.[7]

In his only season in single-seater competition, Robertson scored his first win at Brands Hatch and took two more wins in the final round at Donington Park to finish third in the standings.[8][9][10] At the end of the season, Robertson switched to Ginetta GT4 Supercup,[11] winning the title at season's end with a race to spare.[12]

Endurance career

Summarize
Perspective

In 2015, Robertson joined Team LNT to compete in the LMP3 class of the European Le Mans Series alongside Chris Hoy.[13] Robertson won on his series debut at Silverstone,[14] and then took wins at the Red Bull Ring and Le Castellet to take the LMP3 title with a race to spare.[15][16]

After testing LMP2 machinery at the end of 2015,[17] Robertson stayed in the LMP3 class for 2016, competing in both the Asian Le Mans Sprint Cup and the Asian Le Mans Series for PRT Racing.[18][19] Winning one race and finishing runner-up in the standings in the former,[20] Robertson only managed a best result of fourth in the latter and finished 11th in points.[21]

In early 2018 it was announced that Robertson would join CEFC TRSM Racing to make his debut in LMP1 machinery in the FIA World Endurance Championship's "super season".[22] After both Ginettas were withdrawn from the season-opener at Spa due to late payments from the team,[23] Robertson raced at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and scored the team's sole point of the season despite being the last classified finisher.[24][25] With Manor pulling out from Ginetta's LMP1 programme shortly after, Robertson's season effectively came to an end with as disagreements between Ginetta and the ACO meant none of the cars competed in the remaining six races.[26]

Robertson returned to the FIA World Endurance Championship the following year, remaining in LMP1 but joining Team LNT alongside Ben Hanley and Egor Orudzhev.[27] In the opening race of the season, Robertson finished fourth but was classified third points-wise as Rebellion's #3 car was entered on a race-by-race basis and thus wasn't eligible for championship points.[28] Robertson finished fifth and took the fastest lap in Shanghai, but after the 8 Hours of Bahrain, both Team LNT's cars withdrew from the 2020 Lone Star Le Mans and subsequently pulled out from the rest of the season.[29]

GT career

In 2017, Robertson joined Century Motorsport alongside Parker Chase to compete in the British GT Championship.[30] Racing just a handful of times in the series, Robertson scored a lone points finish at Silverstone,[31] just after winning both races at Brands Hatch in the GT4 European Series Northern Cup.[32][33]

In 2021, Robertson returned to the British GT Championship, racing in the GT4 class for Assetto Motorsport alongside Mark Sansom.[34] Robertson scored a best result of fourth at the season-opening round at Brands Hatch and finished tenth in the GT4 standings.[35]

After taking a class win at the 6 Hours of Abu Dhabi for Century Motorsport in late 2023, Robertson stayed with them to compete in the 2024 British GT Championship in the GT4 class alongside Ravi Ramyead.[36] The Briton won race one at the Snetterton round and also won at Donington Park to finish sixth in the points at the end of the season.[37][38]

Robertson returned to the British GT Championship and Century Motorsport for 2025.[39]
