🇬🇧 Freddie Hunt

Freddie Hunt was a professional endurance racing driver competing in prototype classes. Rated at 4,046, he sits at the professional level; the FIA graded him Silver, a tier below the full-professional Gold and Platinum grades used in sportscar racing. He raced almost exclusively for Reiter Engineering across four seasons from 2019 to 2022, piloting LMP3 prototypes in multiclass endurance championships.[1]

Hunt took part in 15 starts across the Le Mans Cup, Road to Le Mans, Prototype Cup Germany and European Le Mans Series, scoring two wins and five podiums. His strongest season came in the Le Mans Cup in 2021 and 2022, where he finished on the podium twice from six starts; in Prototype Cup Germany he won one race from four starts between 2022 and 2023. His most recent indexed racing came in the 2022 Road to Le Mans, where he took a podium from two rounds.[2]

Hunt raced regularly against established professionals in mixed-ability fields. He was closely matched with Laurents Hörr, a FIA Gold-graded two-time Le Mans Cup LMP3 champion with extensive experience across European Le Mans Series, Le Mans Cup and other prototype championships. Against Maurice Smith, FIA Bronze-graded and a 2021 Le Mans Cup and 2022 European Le Mans Series LMP3 champion, Hunt usually finished ahead. He also beat Tom Dillmann, an established professional and Formula V8 3.5 champion, three times across their meetings, and finished ahead of Malthe Jakobsen, another established professional with multiple Le Mans Series and WEC starts, on five occasions.
