Tom was first introduced to motorsport in his early teens through family friend and team owner David Price. From then on his interest rapidly grew and it wasn't long before Tom found himself behind the wheel of a kart, competing in the NKA Formula 6 Championship. A progression into cars came at the age of 17 after winning the Elf La Filiere competition held at Silverstone.

In 2000 Tom's first year in professional motorsport he competed in the Elf La Filiere French Formula Renault Campus Championship, scoring a win at Pau, 6 podiums and netting the official lap record at Magny Cours.

2001 saw Gaymor move up into the British Avon Junior Formula Ford Championship with French manufacture Mygale and factory team Haywood Racing. With 2 wins, 5 podiums and 3 pole positions Tom secured 2nd in the Championship.

With his career momentum on a high Tom then moved up into the main British Formula Ford Championship with Nexa Racing, where he showed good pace but with mixed success.

Now with a point to prove in 2003 Tom moved to the factory Van Diemen squad and then current British and World Formula Ford Champions Comtec Racing. Under the watchful eye of Jonathan Lewis Gaymor got back to his winning ways with 3 wins, 6 podiums, and 4 pole positions. Tom was awarded BRDC Rising Star status and was presented with various options for the 2004 season.

Unfortunately due to corrective back surgery in the winter months Gaymor was unable to take up any of those options. With his career hanging in the balance after invasive surgery Tom set upon working with his surgeon and physio's getting back to full fitness. Due to the nature of the surgery the time scale was hard to predict but in 2006 Tom returned back to the cockpit courtesy of Lola, and enjoyed a successful test in the Fluid Development Lola Formula 3 chassis, before graduating into the Comtec World Series by Renault car.

Tom is now actively seeking a race seat with the help of GOMAN Representation in Sport.

As well as a sucessful race career Tom has enjoyed a foray into TV work with Sky Sports, talking as a studio guest on their live Indycar coverage, and Eurosport commentating on various live motorsport events.

The last string to Tom's bow lies with modelling
