Giedo Gijsbertus Gerrit van der Garde (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈɣiːdoː vɑn dər ˈɣɑrdə]; born 25 April 1985) is a Dutch former racing driver and broadcaster, who competed in Formula One in 2013 and the FIA World Endurance Championship between 2016 and 2023. In sportscar racing, van der Garde won the European Le Mans Series in 2016 with G-Drive.
Born and raised in Rhenen, van der Garde began competitive kart racing aged nine. After a successful karting career—culminating in his victory at the direct-drive Karting World Championship in 2002—van der Garde graduated to junior formulae. He won his first championship at the 2008 Formula Renault 3.5 Series with P1. After four seasons and several wins in the GP2 Series, van der Garde signed for Caterham in 2013, having previously tested for Super Aguri and Spyker, as well as being a member of the McLaren Young Driver Programme in 2006. Van der Garde made his Formula One debut at the Australian Grand Prix, but Caterham failed to score points all season with the CT03, with van der Garde finishing a career-best 14th in Hungary. Failing to retain his seat for 2014, van der Garde signed for Sauber as a reserve driver. Despite being contracted as a full-time driver for 2015, Sauber signed Felipe Nasr, resulting in a multi-million pound settlement after van der Garde sought international arbitration.
Van der Garde moved to sportscar racing in 2016, joining G-Drive Racing in both the European Le Mans Series and the FIA World Endurance Championship in the LMP2 class, winning the former in his debut season after achieving multiple victories. He spent five further seasons in WEC and the IMSA SportsCar Championship with Nederland, amongst six appearances at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Van der Garde retired at the end of 2023, becoming a full-time commentator and pundit for Viaplay.
