🇬🇧 Daniel Harper

Daniel Harper is a professional sportscar driver with a Racer Rating of 5,102, placing him among established professionals who compete at the top level of GT and endurance racing. His FIA Platinum grade confirms his standing as a full professional within this discipline. Harper has built his career primarily in European GT racing and endurance series over eight seasons since 2019, with notable recent expansion into the North American IMSA WeatherTech Championship.[1]

Harper's record shows consistent competitiveness against a field of Platinum-graded professionals. Across 74 starts, he has recorded 9 wins and 18 podiums, with an average finishing position of eleventh. His head-to-head records against his most frequent rivals reveal a driver who holds his own among peers: he has a winning record against Raffaele Marciello, a three-time Platinum champion, finishing ahead in 19 of 29 shared races; he leads the count against Sandy Mitchell, a former champion, by 20 to 13 across 33 meetings; and he runs nearly level with Dennis Marschall and Davide Rigon. Against Jules Gounon, a Platinum-graded professional, Harper trails 10 to 22. His strongest performances have come in British GT Championship and IMSA WeatherTech, where he has won three and three races respectively. He won the 2023 championship, captured victories in both the Nürburgring 24 Hours and WEC in endurance competition, and has occasionally mixed with far stronger drivers: he has beaten Kyle Kirkwood, a Gold-graded professional and three-time champion, in three separate races, and finished ahead of Max Verstappen and Lance Stroll in single meetings. Since joining Paul Miller Racing in IMSA in 2025, Harper has become an immediate race winner, taking three victories in 11 starts and establishing himself as a consistent front-runner in that series. He remains active in 2026 across multiple championships, having opened his WEC campaign with a win and two podiums in four races.[2]
