Greg and his older brother raced in the same series until 2009, starting with Karting in 2005. The brothers moved into single-seater racing in 2006, in the Formula BMW UK series.
In Formula BMW, the brothers disappointed, however, with Greg managing just 13 points, and Leo not managing any, while champion Niall Breen amassed 305.
Despite this, the pair were granted drives in the finale of the 2006 British Formula Three Championship at Thruxton, driving for the Fortec Motorsport team, in Invitational Class, with Greg finishing in a promising 8th position in the first race, although he had to struggle to 18th and last place in the second.
Greg finished 3rd and on the podium for the first time in 2007 at Donington Park in the 3rd British Formula Three round.
For 2008 Greg and Leo Mansell moved to the American Atlantics, both driving for Walker Racing.[1] The following year, Greg returned to Europe to compete in the 2009 Formula Renault 3.5 Series season, racing for both Ultimate Motorsport and Comtec Racing, finishing 26th in the championship. He will continue with Comtec into the 2010 season, partnering Stefano Coletti.[2]
In addition to competing in the Formula Renault 3.5 series in 2010, he is also co-driving a Ginetta-Zytek GZ09S - with his brother Leo and father Nigel - in select Le Mans Series events and in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. At the 8 Hours of Castellet they finished 9th overall (8th in LMP1), but their Le Mans effort was cut short due to a tyre failure and crash by Nigel early in the event.
