Gary Paffett is a British professional racing driver who had an illustrious career in the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters (DTM) championship where he competed from 2003 to 2018 (except 2006) and won the title in 2005 and 2018. He also stood 2nd in the championship in 2004, 2009, 2010, and 2012. After it was announced that Mercedes, with whom Gary had spent his entire DTM career, would no longer be participating in the competition, he decided to join the Formula E series for the 2018-19 season. For the 2019-20 Formula E season, he moved into a management role with the Mercedes-Benz EQ Formula E Team, while also serving as their test and reserve driver. Gary had also participated in the premier Formula One tier as a test driver from 2003 to 2017 (except 2014 and 2015), a stint that ran almost in parallel with his DTM career.
