Racing career

Creed made his car racing debut in 2012, competing in the V de V Challenge Endurance Moderne. After a brief spell in Mitjet 2L in 2013, Creed returned to racing two years later, competing in the V de V Challenge Monoplace for Formula Motorsport. Racing in all but two rounds, Creed took a best result of fourth at Magny-Cours to end the year 11th overall. In 2016, Creed continued with Formula Motorsport for his second season in the V de V Challenge Monoplace, taking his maiden series podium at Barcelona en route to a fifth-place points finish.

Creed's M.Racing LMP3, en route to victory at Monza in ELMS in 2017.

The following year, Creed continued with Formula Motorsport for another season in the V de V Challenge Monoplace, as well as finishing third in V de V's Endurance Challenge Scratch standings with TFT Racing. In parallel, Creed competed with M.Racing - YMR in the LMP3 class of the European Le Mans Series, taking a lone win at Monza alongside Ricky Capo, as well as a podium in Le Mans Cup's Road to Le Mans with Yann Ehrlacher. In 2018, Creed stepped up to LMP2 competition to compete in the 2018–19 FIA World Endurance Championship for Larbre Compétition alongside Romano Ricci and a rotating cast of drivers. Creed scored a best class result of fourth at the 2019 1000 Miles of Sebring, and finished 12th in both the 2018 and 2019 24 Hours of Le Mans. During both years, Creed made selected returns to the V de V and later Ultimate Cup Series' Monoplace division with Formula Motorsport, scoring a few podiums across both seasons.

Creed made his WEC and 24 Hours of Le Mans debut in 2018 for Larbre in LMP2.

In 2020, Creed was set to race for Bentley-affiliated CMR in the GT World Challenge Europe Sprint Cup, but those plans were halted when the season was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Returning to racing in 2021, Creed made one-off appearances in the LMP3 classes of the Le Mans Cup and European Le Mans Series for Mühlner Motorsport and Inter Europol Competition respectively. A cameo in the JS P4 class of the Ligier European Series in 2022 then ensued, before Creed joined Audi-fielding CSA Racing to compete in the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup. Dabbling between the Bronze and Pro-Am classes with Arthur Rougier, Creed most notably took a podium in the latter class at the 24 Hours of Spa.

Creed then returned to full-time endurance prototype competition in 2024, joining ANS Motorsport to race in the NP02 class of the European Endurance Prototype Cup, but only managed 29th in points. In 2025, Creed raced at the Dubai 24 Hour for Team CMR, and also returned to the European Endurance Prototype Cup with Cogemo Racing. In his second season in the series, Creed scored wins at Algarve and Aragón en route to a fifth-place points finish, partnering Nico Prost and Marlon Hernandez. At the start of 2026, Creed reunited with Team CMR to compete at the Dubai 24 Hour, before continuing with Cogemo Racing for his third season in the European Endurance Prototype Cup, with Prost and Sebastián Álvarez.
