Gregg Donnelly

Gregg Donnelly (born 22nd August, 1998 in Sheffield, England) is a British racing driver who drove for Nurminen Racing Engineering in AR2.0. He is the son of former Life Grand Prix Series and Formula One driver Geoff Donnelly.

Personal life

Gregg was born to Geoff and Donna, and was named after the bakery firm that had backed Geoff's racing career for many years. When questioned by a member of the media, Geoff replied "before my little lad was born, Greggs helped me make my life what it is today. I think it's only fair I honour them with what's most important now".

Despite his father's well-known love of pastry products, earning the nickname of "The Pieman" in his racing career, Gregg is a vegetarian.

2017-18: AutoReject 2.0

After positive tests for Nurminen Racing Engineering, the Finnish outfit promptly signed up Donnelly for the 2017 AutoReject 2.0 Europe season. Donnelly struggled to get used to the new Dallara AR2/17 chassis and managed 16th in the standings, with a 2nd place finish at Zandvoort the highlight of his year.

Sticking with the team for 2018, Donnelly looked in imperious form in pre-season testing, and scored in six consecutive races at the start of the season. However, the middle portion of the season was incredibly difficult for the British driver, and incidents meant that Donnelly scored points in only one of the next five rounds, managing to win in the Dutch feature race. Donnelly finished strongly in the final round, taking solid results to claim 6th in the championship.
