Christopher Lulham (born 31 March 2003) is a British racing driver and sim racer who last competed in GT World Challenge Europe for Mercedes-AMG Team Verstappen Racing. Lulham spent nine years in karting from 2010 to 2018, winning two titles in X30 and OK karts, before graduating to junior formulae in 2019.

After his junior career, Lulham transitioned to sim racing, becoming a part of esports organisation Team Redline in 2021, who he remains a member with, and finding immediate success in IRacing Special Events and professional series. He returned to racing in 2024, competing in the Radical Cup UK and winning the overall championship. A year later, he was selected to race under the Verstappen.com Racing programme in the 2025 GT World Challenge Europe, later winning the Gold class with Thierry Vermeulen.

Racing career

Lulham began karting in 2010. Racing in karts until 2018, Lulham won the 2016 X30 Euro Series in the Junior category and the 2017 Trofeo Delle Industrie in OK, while also coming runner-up to Dexter Patterson in the Karting World Championship that year in OK-Junior. After spending most of 2019 in sim racing, Lulham joined Fortec Motorsport for a one-off appearance at the Silverstone round of the F4 British Championship. After finishing 11th on debut, Lulham took his first points in race two by finishing seventh, and capped off the weekend with a fifth-place finish in race three.

Five years later, Lulham returned to real life racing by competing in the 2024 Radical Cup UK. In his only season in the series, Lulham won all but two races in the 18 race season to win the SR3 title in dominant fashion. At the start of 2025, it was announced that Lulham would join 2 Seas-run Verstappen.com Racing to compete in the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup and Ferrari-linked Emil Frey Racing to race in the GT World Challenge Europe Sprint Cup, marking his debut in real-life GT3 competition. In the former, Lulham won the 24 Hours of Spa in class and finished on the podium in every race he started to secure the Gold Cup title at the season finale in Barcelona. In the latter, Lulham took four class wins, including an overall podium at Brands Hatch, as well as three more podiums to take the Gold Cup title in Valencia. During 2025, Lulham made his debut in the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie, competing at the NLS9 for Emil Frey Racing alongside his GT World Challenge Europe teamowner and friend Max Verstappen, which they won with a dominant lead.

At the end of the year, Lulham joined Kessel Racing to compete in the GT class of the 2025–26 Asian Le Mans Series, winning at Sepang and Dubai as he secured the title. For the rest of 2026, Lulham returned to Europe as he joined Verstappen Racing for a dual campaign in the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance and Sprint Cups. In the Endurance Cup, Lulham scored a lone overall podium at the Nürburgring to take 10th in overall points. In the Sprint Cup, Lulham won race two at Brands Hatch before being relegated to second following a post-race penalty for ignoring yellow flags, en route to 10th in overall points despite missing two rounds as a result of having his appendix removed. During 2026, Lulham also raced with 2 Seas for the final two rounds of British GT, in which he took a best result of second at Donington Park.

Esports career

Lulham began sim-racing in 2019 and began racing professionally on iRacing a year later. Competing in the British Formula 4 iRacing Trophy in 2020, Lulham won the season-opener at Donington Park, and then took four more wins to take the title over Luke Browning by 14 points. In 2021, Lulham joined Team Redline. In his first year with the team, Lulham won the iRacing Nürburgring 24 Hours, also winning the iRacing Daytona 24 Hours in GTE and winning the VCO ProSIM Series title at the end of the year. After winning the VCO Esports Racing World Cup the following year, Lulham won the 2023 24 Hours of Le Mans Virtual overall and won the second edition of the VCO Esports Racing World Cup.
