Max Buxton Holden (born 14 August 2005) is a British racing driver who is competing for Speedworks Corolla Racing in the British Touring Car Championship.

Career

[edit]

Having forgone a career in karts, Buxton made his car racing debut in the Vinyl Detail Fiesta ST150 Challenge in 2024.[1] In his maiden season in cars, he took pole at the first Oulton Park round and scored his season-best result of fourth at the same track, albeit at its second appearance on the calendar.[2][3]

Buxton remained in the series for 2025, taking two wins in the season-opening round at Snetterton,[4] a feat which he repeated two rounds later at Anglesey to take the points lead with four rounds left.[5] However, Buxton left the series as he joined Toyota Gazoo Racing UK with IAA to make his debut in the British Touring Car Championship.[6] After finishing 19th and 18th in his first two races,[7][8] Buxton took his first points of the season by finishing 12th in race three at Croft.[9][10] In the following round at Knockhill, Buxton finished 19th in the first two races before retiring in the third on the opening lap.[11][12] After not scoring points at Donington Park,[13] Buxton finished 13th in race two at Silverstone,[14] before ending the year by finishing 15th in race three at Brands Hatch en route to a 22nd-place points finish.[15]

The following year, Buxton remained with Speedworks Corolla Racing for his maiden full-time season in the British Touring Car Championship.[16]

Personal life

[edit]

Buxton is the son of former racing driver and Speedworks Motorsport head of Motorsport Daniel Buxton.[17]
