Chris Leichtweis is a semi-professional competing in McLaren Trophy America, a multiclass endurance championship run in the United States. He races the Am class for AERO-B Motorsports, sharing his car across an eight-round season in 2025. FIA Bronze graded, he sits at the amateur end of a field that runs from gentleman drivers through to graded professionals racing in the same events.[1]
Two podiums from eight starts places him sixth in the championship standings. His results have come against a mix of experience levels typical of Am-class competition; he has finished ahead of Jon Lancaster, a professional driver graded FIA Gold with significant single-seater racing to his credit, once across the season. He has also beaten Jesse Lazare, who won the 2025 McLaren Trophy America Pro-Am title and has raced at the entry-level professional grade in IMSA series including Pilot Challenge. Leichtweis is a regular competitor against both Lancaster and Lazare and typically finishes behind them, which sets his standing within the field.[2]
