Beginning karting at age of six and often seen competing at the front of the field in North America, the ultra-fast and aggressive Georgia resident took on drivers from around the world in Europe late in 2018. While continuing to compete at several high-profile events in North America, Tyler Maxson joined the CRG Racing program as a CRG Factory Driver. Crisscrossing his way around the globe, the multi-time champion took on karting’s best as he built the foundation for his climb up the motorsports ladder.
As the youngest driver in the series, Maxson competed with the potent Copeland Motorsports squad for his rookie campaign. Looking to continue the success in 2020, the Georgia resident levelled up in classes and competed in the premier TC America division of TCR. Piloting a Hyundai Veloster N, Maxson took the season to learn the car and program as he built for the future. Making the move to the IMSA program in 2021, Maxson partnered with Copeland Motorsports and Tyler Gonzalez in the Michelin Pilot Challenge as the youngest driver combination in IMSA history. Earning a handful of pole positions, fast race laps, and podium results, Maxson turned heads which have opened doors for the 2022 season.
Set to take part in the 24 Hours of Dubai with Samantha Tan Racing in January, additional programs for the 2022 season will be announced in the very near future.
