# Damien White

Damien White (born 11 March 1976) is a racing driver and motorsport administrator from Australia.

## Biography

White began his motorsport career as a driver. Having spent his early seasons in Formula Ford and production car racing, he moved up to the V8 Supercars paddock at the turn of the millennium. He was a regular and a frontrunner in the V8 Utes, taking back-to-back titles in the mid-2000s for both Ford and Holden as well as two overall second-places. His success in V8 Utes led to a full season of Development Series in 2007, finishing 6th in the standings. White made sporadic appearances in V8 Supercar endurance rounds between 1999 and 2007 – with a best result of two 17th places at the Bathurst 1000 in 2000 and 2005 from six championship starts.
White moved into motorsport administration in 2009, joining V8 Supercars as operations co-ordinator before becoming the General Manager of Motorsport four years later. White resigned from his V8 Supercars role in 2015, moving into a commercial operations role with the then-under construction The Bend Motorsport Park and later a managerial role with the under-construction Circuit Italia.
He is no relation to DVS driver/team owner Matthew White or former V8 Supercars commentator Matthew White.
