Jaime Melo is a Brazilian professional racing driver whose record on the FIA WEC database spans a single season in 2012, when he contested three rounds for Luxury Racing. His brief campaign yielded two podium finishes from three starts, placing him second on average across those classified appearances. The 2012 WEC field represented professional motorsport at a high level, and Melo's results included victories over several strong drivers: he finished ahead of Jan Magnussen, a Platinum-graded two-time champion; Antonio Garcia, a Platinum-graded five-time champion; and Jordan Taylor, also Platinum-graded with four championships to his name. He also beat Olivier Beretta, a Gold-graded professional, on two separate occasions.[1]
Melo's presence in WEC came late in a career already marked by significant success in grand touring, particularly as a Ferrari driver in the FIA GT Championship and American Le Mans Series. His database record, however, captures only a snapshot of his 2012 endurance racing activity. The Racer Rating of 3,103 reflects a professional competitor operating in strong fields, though his limited sample size on this record means his broader competitive standing rests primarily on his documented success in GT racing at the highest levels, including multiple victories at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, 24 Hours of Spa, and other premier endurance events.[2]
