Benja Hites is a Chilean racing driver whose career has spanned sports car competition in both Europe and South America, including the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie with PROsport Racing in the SP10 class and the TC2000 Championship with Corsi Sport. Prior to his time in the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, Hites built a reputation in endurance racing, highlighted by a class victory in the Silver category at the 24 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps in 2023. That background in long-distance, multi-class competition informed his later move into the American endurance scene with Forte Racing Powered by USRT.[1]
In the IMSA WeatherTech Championship, Hites made five career starts without recording a win or a podium, and he holds no championship titles in the series. His most recent season, 2026, saw him compete in two rounds without a win or podium, placing him P133 in the final standings. Racer DB assigns him a Racer Rating of 2,594, ranking him 1506th among active drivers on a scale where the world's top competitors reach figures between 10,000 and 11,500. His IMSA record, now marked as retired, reflects a driver whose broader motorsport experience in Europe and South America outweighed his limited but notable exposure to top-tier American sports car racing.[2]
