Pro/Am Driver
A Pro/Am Driver is a racing partnership where a professional driver (Pro) teams up with an amateur driver (Am) to compete together in motorsport events.
This arrangement is common in endurance racing series like GT World Challenge and 24 Hours of Le Mans, where driver lineups must include both professionals and amateurs. The Pro brings racing expertise and speed, while the Am often contributes financial support or sponsorship to the team.
Most racing series classify drivers using a rating system (Platinum/Gold for professionals, Silver/Bronze for amateurs) and have specific rules about driving time requirements for each driver type. This format makes high-level motorsport more accessible to passionate amateur racers while maintaining competitive racing.
