Ernie Graham

Ernie Graham has been one of the catalysts for WSR Flexifly and the team’s maiden entry into the British GT Championship in 2026.

The CEO of Flexifly, Ernie links up with fellow Northern Irishman Colin Turkington for an assault on the GT4 Pro-Am of the series, which incorporates five events in the UK plus a trip to Belgium and the iconic Spa-Francorchamps circuit.

Rallying was Ernie’s first love and he achieved success quickly, winning the FIA Middle East Rally Cup in 1994 in contemporary machinery, but it has been in historic cars in which the majority of his title joy has been achieved.

He won his first of three FIA European Historic Rally Championships in 2005 and – following an Ireland Tarmac Historic title in 2015 – added two more European crowns in 2022 and 2023.

That 2023 season was an ultra-successful one for Ernie who also won the overall English Rally Championship. He wasn’t done though, representing Team UK at the FIA Motorsport Games in Valencia in 2024 and coming away with a silver medal in the Historic Rally Gravel discipline.

A visit to Silverstone for the 1988 Tourist Trophy – a round of the FIA European Touring Car Championship – created a strong affiliation for the BMW 3 Series and it was in a more modern example in which he made his circuit racing debut in the BMW Car Club Great Britain Racing Championship in 2025, finishing second in his class points.

He partnered with Colin for the first time to share a BMW M3 E30 for the Motor Racing Legends Historic Touring Car Challenge at the Silverstone Festival; the pair adding a podium finish when they next teamed up in October for the Tony Dron Trophy.

For 2026 he and Colin strengthen their partnership and form the driver line-up for WSR Flexifly in the British GT Championship’s GT4 Pro-Am class. Their car? A BMW M4 GT4 of course. Could it really have been anything else?
