Career

Karting Patterson started competition karting in 2011 at the Trent Valley Kart Club. From there he moved onto national championships, winning the Super 1 National and Formula Kart Stars series in 2015 and achieved victory at the Kartmasters British Grand Prix in 2016 in the Rotax Mini Max class. 2017 would become Patterson's most successful year to date: he triumphed in the Trofeo delle Industrie and won the Junior Karting World Championship on his first attempt. He then raced in karts for two more seasons, with a notable success being victory in the WSK Super Master Series in 2019.

Lower formulae In 2020, Patterson made his single-seater debut with a one-off appearance in the first round of the Formula 4 UAE Championship with Xcel Motorsport. Despite his lack of experience the Scot managed to finish all three races in the points, and ended up twelfth in the standings.

Patterson's main campaign for that season would lie in the Italian F4 Championship, where he would partner Jesse Salmenautio and fellow rookies Zdeněk Chovanec and Sebastian Øgaard at Bhaitech. He had a successful first round at Misano, where he got points in all three races, and he finished ninth in the following race at Imola. The eight points Patterson scored through the first four races would unfortunately be his only points of the season, as the team struggled with reliability. Patterson ended up 22nd in the championship, behind all of his teammates. He finished 15th in the Rookies' standings.

BRDC British F3 Championship For 2021, Patterson progressed into the BRDC British Formula 3 Championship, driving for Douglas Motorsport alongside Reema Juffali. His first podium came at just his third race, with third place at the Brands Hatch Circuit. The next round at Silverstone would bring controversy however, as Patterson was disqualified from the first two races and excluded from the third one after an altercation in the paddock with Bryce Aron, who had collided with Patterson in the second race. Patterson bounced back in round three at Donington Park with three top-ten finishes and a best result of fourth that weekend, but would withdraw from the following round at Spa-Francorchamps. He finished the season in 21st place, being one of 19 drivers to have scored a podium throughout the campaign.

Formula Regional European Championship On 20 July 2021, Monolite Racing announced that Patterson would be replacing the outgoing Jasin Ferati in the Formula Regional European Championship for the Spa-Francorchamps round. He finished the first race in 19th place, but would go on to score his first points in just his second start, finishing seventh and bringing Monolite their first points of the year.

Formula One In 2019, the karting division of the Sauber Junior Team signed Patterson for Paterson's final year of karting competition. When he moved up to single-seaters in 2020 he was confirmed to become part of the academy. In February 2021, Patterson was released from the programme.

British Touring Car Championship

Laser Tools Racing (2022) For 2022, Patterson moved to the British Touring Car Championship, driving an Infiniti Q50 for Laser Tools Racing alongside Aiden Moffat. He came 23rd in the overall standings with five points, and sixth in the Jack Sears Trophy, with nine podiums in class.

Team HARD (2023-) Patterson continued in the championship for 2023, this time moving to Team HARD to drive a Cupra León.
