Career

File:Nielsen Racing - Oreca 07 (53077628541).jpg for Nielsen Racing.]]

Hanley had a successful career in karting, winning a number of championships and individual races and coming close to winning the Karting World Championship. He made his debut in Single-seater cars in the 2005 Formula Renault 2.0 Italia series, and finished 3rd driving for Cram Competition. He then raced in the Formula Renault 3.5 Series in 2006 and in 2007 he finished as runner-up in the championship, driving for Prema Powerteam. He was signed to drive for Campos Racing in early 2008, partnering Vitaly Petrov.{{cite news| title =Campos sign Hanley to partner Petrov | publisher =autosport.com| url =http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/64621| date =10 January 2008| access-date =10 January 2008| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20080125195008/http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/64621| archive-date= 25 January 2008 | url-status= live}} He also joined the team for the second round of the 2008 GP2 Asia Series, scoring a podium finish in his first GP2 race. After three races of the season Hanley and Campos parted company, but he secured a drive with Durango before the next race.{{cite news| title =Hanley grabs last-gasp Durango drive | publisher =autosport.com| url =http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/68430| date =20 June 2008| access-date =20 June 2008| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20080621074944/http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/68430| archive-date= 21 June 2008 | url-status= live}} He replaced Marcello Puglisi, who was in turn deputising for the injured Davide Valsecchi. However, this was only a one-off drive, as Valsecchi returned to racing action at the next round of the championship.{{cite news| title =Valsecchi returns to Durango seat| publisher =autosport.com| url =http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/68768| date =1 July 2008| access-date =1 July 2008| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20080703071603/http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/68768| archive-date= 3 July 2008 | url-status= live}} He began 2009 without a drive, but joined the Euroseries 3000 mid-season and won during his first event in the category. He also returned to karting in 2009, finishing third in the Karting World Championship.{{cite web|url=http://www.driverdb.com/standings/4936-2009/|title=CIK-FIA World Karting Championship for Drivers 2009|publisher=Driver Database|access-date=12 December 2009}}

On 17 December 2018, it was announced that Hanley would compete in 5 IndyCar races, including the 103rd Indianapolis 500, with DragonSpeed in 2019. Only three of those races were fulfilled because of visa issues, and he could not compete in the Championship beyond the Indianapolis 500. The No. 81 qualified 27th and then Finished 32nd in the race after a mechanical issue.{{fact|date=November 2024}}

In January 2020 it was confirmed that he would return with Dragonspeed.{{Cite news|date=2020-01-13|title=DragonSpeed Racing tabs Ben Hanley for 2020 IndyCar opener as part of six-race program|work=Indystar|url=https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/motor/2020/01/13/indycar-dragonspeed-tabs-ben-hanley-for-2020-opener-in-st-petersburg/4454697002/}} The team planned to enter 6 races, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic the St. Petersburg, Long Beach, Mid-Ohio and Laguna Seca races were cancelled, and the team did not field an entry for Texas. On 8 August, the team announced that Hanley would drive their entry for the Indianapolis 500, which was held on 23 August. With little preparation time, the team had numerous mechanical issues in practice, resulting in qualifying in the 33rd and last position. The car finished the race in 23rd place.{{fact|date=November 2024}}

On 28 October 2020 the team shuttered their IndyCar Series program and sold their IndyCar assets to Meyer Shank Racing, citing the team "being taken back two years" due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Team Owner Elton Julian left open the possibility of returning to the series when "the next big thing happens for IndyCar" if the resources were available.{{Cite news|date=2020-10-28|title=DragonSpeed shutters IndyCar program|work=Racer|url=https://racer.com/2020/10/28/dragonspeed-shutters-indycar-program/}}
