🇺🇸 John Edwards

John Edwards is a retired professional endurance racing driver, FIA Gold graded, who spent his career in shared-car GT racing across North American and European championships. His primary home was IMSA WeatherTech, where he made 66 starts for Turner Motorsport and BMW Team RLL, racing GT3 and GTE cars in the GTDPRO and GTLM classes. He also contested the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie and Nürburgring 24 Hours in Europe, driving GT3 machinery for ROWE RACING, and made four starts in GT World Challenge America in 2023.[1]

Across ten seasons from 2010 to 2023, Edwards took four wins and 24 podiums from 85 starts. His two victories in IMSA came in the GTDPRO and GTLM classes, and he won twice more in the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie. He was most productive in IMSA, where 21 of his 24 career podiums came across its multiclass fields. His record in IMSA put him regularly on the same grid as established professionals; he finished behind Platinum-graded drivers Antonio Garcia and Laurens Vanthoor consistently, though he beat Vanthoor 16 times across their encounters, and once finished ahead of Formula E champion António Félix da Costa.[2]
