Damien White (born 11 March 1976) is a racing driver and motorsport administrator from Australia.[1]
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.[2]
White moved into motorsport administration in 2009, joining V8 Supercars as operations co-ordinator before becoming the General Manager of Motorsport four years later.[3] 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.[4][5][6]
He is no relation to DVS driver/team owner Matthew White or former V8 Supercars commentator Matthew White.
