Race Team Gentleman Driver
A gentleman driver (also called a gentleman racer or Am driver) is a wealthy amateur who funds their own racing seat, typically co-driving with professional teammates in endurance events. The term originates from early motorsport when wealthy enthusiasts competed alongside factory drivers. Most GT3 and LMP2 series have dedicated Am or Silver/Bronze driver classes to ensure fair competition between gentlemen and professionals.
