Richie Stanaway (born 24 November 1991) is a racing car driver fromNew Zealand. He previously competed full-time in theSupercars Championship, driving the No. 62Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 forPremiAir Racing.

Born inTauranga, Stanaway was originally from a motocross background, before making the switch to speedway at the age of twelve. Following that came a brief foray into kart racing prior to making his formula car debut in 2007 after being selected for the New ZealandSpeedSport Scholarship. He competed in the 2007/08 Formula First championship finishing third overall as the highest placed rookie.

Stanaway then made the jump to theNew ZealandFormula Ford Championship with Hamilton-based, debutant team TSR Racing alongside team-mate Martin Short. Prior to National championship he raced in the winter series to prepare, winning numerous races in the process with the newly imported Mygale chassis. Stanaway won the 2008/09New ZealandFormula Ford Championship with fourteen race wins, becoming only the second driver in history to win the title as a rookie.

Stanaway then competed in the2009 Australian Formula Ford Championship with Adelaide-based,Team BRM, making their debut in the Formula Ford championship after a long history of Formula 3 experience. During his Australian Formula Ford campaign in April 2009, Stanaway made his debut in New Zealand'sToyota Racing Series during a one-off appearance on the Hamilton 400 street circuit, scoring both pole positions and winning both races on debut. He then had to pull out halfway through theAustralian Formula Ford Championship to take up testing and racing opportunities in theADAC Formula Masters Championship in Germany. Despite missing six of the races, Richie finished sixth place in the2009 Australian Formula Ford Championship taking one race win and six podium finishes.

In July 2009, Stanaway took up a testing opportunity at theEuroSpeedway Lausitz with Ma-Con Motorsport, a German team competing in theADAC Formula Masters Championship. The test was organised by Tauranga businessman Maurice O' Reilly, a past investor of New Zealand Indy 500 winner, and Indycar series championScott Dixon. Stanaway impressed and was offered a race seat for the remaining six races of the 2009ADAC Formula Masters Championship held atNürburgring,Sachsenring andOschersleben. The required budget was raised through a group of investors and on 22 August 2009 Richie made his European debut at the famous Nürburgring circuit. During the six races, he scored two pole positions and numerous podium finishes, and following the signing of a management contract with RRT Holdings, headed by businessman Martin Reiss, the decision was made to return to contest the full ADAC Formula Masters Championship in 2010.

For the 2010ADAC Formula Masters Championship, Stanaway dominated proceedings, taking twelve race wins and finished no lower than second place throughout the whole championship. Following that he completed tests with 2010 Formula Renault 2.0 Eurocup championship winning team,Koiranen Bros. Motorsport at Barcelona'sCircuit de Catalunya, also a test with ATS-Formel 3 cup (German Formula 3) teamVan Amersfoort Racing in Oschersleben, and a thorough testing programme with Tech-1 racing in Formula Renault 2.0. Richie then made his racing debut in theUnited Kingdom, competing in the Formula Renault UK winter cup with Atech-GP which took place at Snetterton and Pembrey, he took a race win and numerous podium placings over the six race series.

Stanaway was then released from his management contract with Martin Reiss to then sign with Gravity Sport Management, a management group headed by Lotus-Renault Formula One team principal Eric Boullier, and contested the 2011 ATS-Formel 3 cup (German Formula 3) with Dutch team Van Amersfoort Racing. He replacedPedro Nunes for the remainder of the2011 GP3 Series season with the pace-setters,LotusART, he will begin at the penultimate round of the championship inBelgium. He finished 8th in the first race and therefore started from pole in the second, where he kept the lead and won the race.

In November 2011, Stanaway tested the new BMW M3 DTM car as one of three young drivers and then in December he tested forFormula Renault 3.5 Series teamGravity–Charouz Racing in the invite-only test^[1] atAragon, Spain where he topped the times on the first two days and finished the three-day test with the fastest overall time.^[2]

He made hisSupercars debut for Super Black Racing in 2016, co-driving withChris Pither in thePirtek Enduro Cup series. He impressed on debut inSandown, fighting his way from a pit-stop down up to 3rd with slick tyres on a damp track. His team were caught out by a safety car and would eventually drop to 17th and one lap down. In 2017 Stanaway competed in the Sydney round of theSuper2 Series, winning the final race. He then drove in the Pirtek Enduro Cup withCam Waters, winning theSandown 500 from pole position. They then lead theBathurst 1000 before an incident on a restart after the safety car, breaking the rear wing. They repaired the car and they went on to finish 16th, 3 laps down.

At theGold Coast 600 he was stood down for missing an autograph signing^[5] but reinstated at the next round at Sandown. After a difficult two years in Supercars, Stanaway retired from the sport in November 2019.^[6]

In 2021, Peter Adderton fromBoost Mobile floated the idea of running a Wildcard entry for Stanaway and four time Bathurst winnerGreg Murphy in the upcomingBathurst 1000. The idea gained massive fan support, helping to convince Stanaway and Murphy to return for the first time since 2019 and 2014 respectively. On 8 June 2021 it was confirmed that the two would return in anErebus Motorsport run Boost Mobile supported entry.^[7] On 12 November 2021 the wildcard was postponed due to travel restrictions between Australia & New Zealand. In late April 2022Erebus Motorsport confirmed that the Wildcard would be revived for the upcomingBathurst 1000.^[8] There were plans to run Stanaway & Murphy in solo events prior to Bathurst but those plans fell through, the two had three test days prior to the 1000 with the first set to be run atWinton Motor Raceway on 7 June.

In 2023, Stanaway would joinTriple Eight to partnerShane van Gisbergen for the Supercars Enduro races, as well as to race inGT World Challenge Australia andGT World Challenge Asia.^[9][10] He would score 2 podiums in GT and 2 podiums in Supercars, including victory at theBathurst 1000.^[11] On 21 August it was announced that he would be driving full-time forGrove Racing in 2024.^[12]
