James Hamman raced in International GT from 2022 to 2024, competing across three seasons with 52 starts, 2 wins and 18 podiums. He finished on average in fourth place and retired after 2024. His most recent season, 2024, yielded 7 podiums across 12 rounds with a third-place championship finish but no victories.[1]
Hamman's record against his peers in the series shows mixed results against different calibres of driver. Against the stronger entries, he occasionally prevailed; he beat Stevan McAleer, an FIA Gold graded professional, on four occasions, and defeated Andrew Davis and Scott Blind, each an FIA-graded driver and former champion, twice apiece. However, his head-to-head records against the series' more consistent competitors were largely unfavourable. Against Lukas Pank, a one-time champion, Hamman finished ahead only 8 times in 33 shared races. Brady Behrman, another former champion and FIA Bronze graded driver, finished ahead of Hamman in 16 of 18 encounters. Pippa Mann, an FIA Silver graded driver, also held the upper hand with 11 finishes ahead of Hamman's 7. Javier Ripoll and Jody Miller were the exceptions among his frequent rivals, with Hamman holding slight or even head-to-head records against them across their meetings.
International GT is an open-entry series fielding largely amateur and gentleman drivers in grand touring and prototype classes, positioned as a moderate-level stepping stone between IMSA's competitive ladder. Hamman's Racer Rating of 1,446 reflects a solid club-level competitor, and his results over three seasons demonstrate a driver capable of occasional strong finishes against more accomplished rivals but typically outpaced by the series' established front-runners.
