James Weaver is a British established professional who raced in single-seater and endurance championships during the 1980s and 1990s. He started in International Formula 3000 in 1985 and 1986, racing solo machinery for Ralt Racing Ltd, before moving to the FIA GT Championship in 1997, where he drove shared endurance cars for David Price Racing.[1]
Across 11 starts in the indexed record, Weaver finished 29th in the 1997 FIA GT Championship standings. His career placed him among drivers who had also competed at higher levels; he finished ahead of Alessandro Nannini, a former Formula 1 driver, on two occasions, and ahead of Thierry Boutsen, who had 163 Formula 1 starts, once in their head-to-head meetings.[2]
In the endurance field he raced most regularly, Weaver typically finished behind established professionals including John Nielsen and Pierre-Henri Raphanel, both of whom had raced multiple international series alongside the FIA GT Championship. David Price Racing, the team that ran his seven FIA GT starts, was a small operation fielding multiple drivers across the period and did not score race wins during his time there.
