🇺🇸 Andy Pilgrim

Andy Pilgrim, a British-born driver who became naturalised as an American citizen, built his reputation through a career that developed later than most of his contemporaries, with his most notable achievements coming after he had already reached his forties. He served as a Corvette factory driver in the American Le Mans Series from 1999 to 2003, a period that established him within American sports car racing, and he added an overall victory at the 24 Hours of Daytona in 2004. His career also included stints in the SCCA World Challenge and NASCAR, reflecting a broad résumé across disciplines within American motorsport.[1]

In the current phase of his career, Pilgrim is listed as retired, competing for Black Swan Racing within the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. His record in this most recent chapter shows a single career start, with no wins or podiums recorded. His Racer Rating stands at 2,451, placing him 4,378th among active drivers on a scale where the sport's leading competitors typically sit between 10,000 and 11,500. In his final season, he took part in one round, finishing 81st in the standings without a win or podium to his name, closing out a career that stretched from factory sports car duties in the late 1990s to a brief return decades later.[2]
