Gustavo Menezes is an American-Brazilian racing driver competing primarily in endurance and sportscar racing. Rated 5,695, he sits in the upper-middle tier of professional drivers across his chosen disciplines. Menezes began his career in single-seaters, contesting Formula Renault Eurocup and Star Mazda Championship in 2011 and 2012 before moving to circuit racing's higher formulas; his time in FIA Formula 3 European from 2014 to 2015 yielded two podium finishes but no victories. His transition to endurance racing proved more successful; he won the 2016 championship and has since established himself as a fixture in the World Endurance Championship, where his 44 starts for Peugeot TotalEnergies across 2016 and 2023 produced eight wins and 22 podiums, making him a reliable performer in that environment.[1]

Menezes has shared grids extensively with elite drivers and held his own in several notable instances. He finished ahead of Formula 1 Platinum-graded champions George Russell on nine occasions and Charles Leclerc three times, as well as Max Verstappen twice; these were concentrated in endurance fields where machinery and co-driver quality shape outcomes as much as individual skill. More consistently, his competitive record against his most frequent rivals tells a mixed story. He beat Tatiana Calderón (a professional-level Silver-graded driver) decisively across their 60 shared starts, finishing ahead 48 times, but struggled against stronger peers; Antonio Giovinazzi, Felix Rosenqvist and Jake Dennis, all Gold or Platinum graded professionals, each finished ahead of him regularly despite his occasional victories over them. Across all categories, he averaged a ninth-place finish.[2]

His most recent WEC campaign in 2023 saw diminished form, with no podiums in seven rounds and a final classification of P28, marking a departure from his established pattern of consistent points finishes. He has returned to active competition in the 2026 Asian Le Mans Series with High Class Racing, seeking to rebuild on his experience as a Gold-graded professional in sportscar racing.
