🇬🇧 Ben Collins

Ben Collins is a professional endurance and sportscar driver rated at 4,313, holding the FIA Silver grading that sits below the full-professional Gold and Platinum grades in GT and endurance racing. His indexed racing spans from 1997 to 2014, with a brief return in 2023; he has driven for teams including RJN Motorsport in the FIA GT Championship, Krohn Racing in the WEC, and most recently Raceway Motorsport in the British GT Championship, racing GT4 cars and GTE machinery in multiclass fields alongside amateur and professional competitors.[1]

His career record shows 13 starts across five series. In Formula 3 Macau between 1997 and 2000, Collins made six starts in the single-driver championship as a junior competitor. He returned to international racing with three FIA GT Championship starts for RJN Motorsport in 2004 and 2005, then took three WEC rounds with Krohn Racing in 2014, finishing 16th in the championship standings. A sole British GT Championship start followed in 2023. His strongest recorded finishes came in the junior Formula 3 Macau field, where he finished ahead of Takuma Sato and Oriol Servia, both of whom went on to established careers in IndyCar and Formula 1.[2]

In the WEC and FIA GT Championship, Collins regularly faced Christian Ried, a three-time WEC LMGTE Am champion with 89 WEC starts, and André Couto, a Super GT champion with 76 Super GT rounds to his credit; he usually finished behind both. The endurance grids he competed in mixed Bronze amateurs with professionals, placing him in a field where his Silver grading positioned him among the aspiring rather than the fully established professionals.
