Jim Cox is a professional-level endurance racing driver competing in a national multiclass series mixing amateurs with established professionals. His primary racing has been in IMSA championships; he spent four seasons in IMSA Pilot Challenge driving a GT4-level production car for Riley Motorsports, then moved to the top-tier LMP3 prototype class in both IMSA WeatherTech and IMSA Prototype Challenge. He holds an FIA Bronze grading, placing him among the amateur and gentleman driver category in endurance racing. He retired after 2022.[1]
Cox accrued 40 starts across six seasons from 2017 to 2022, taking two wins and eleven podiums. His strongest output came in IMSA WeatherTech in 2021, when he finished on the podium in five of his seven starts, including appearances in the Rolex 24 at Daytona and other major-distance events. In IMSA Pilot Challenge, his primary series, he took two wins and five podiums across 28 starts. He also sampled PCA Club Racing and SCCA Majors competition but with minimal activity in those series; his indexed racing is concentrated in IMSA's professional-tier endurance championships.[2]
