Liam Dwyer is a retired American sports car racing driver and former United States Marine who served from 2000 to 2015, including deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. His professional racing career spanned two seasons in the IMSA Pilot Challenge, a professional-level endurance series, running 17 races for Freedom Autosport between 2016 and 2017. He is classified as a Bronze-graded driver by the FIA, a category that denotes an amateur or gentleman racer competing alongside professionals in sportscar and endurance racing.[1]
Dwyer competed in a field of experienced drivers and held his own against several professionals, though he did not secure a race victory. Across his 17 starts he finished on the podium twice, averaging a tenth-place finish. His most consistent performances came against Spencer Pumpelly and Eric Foss, both FIA Silver-rated former champions, though he trailed both in head-to-head competition. He beat Gold-rated professional Robby Foley on three occasions and topped FIA Silver-graded Kyle Tilley three times as well, results that stand out against drivers of considerably higher calibre. However, against the bulk of his regular competitors, including Gold-rated Stevan McAleer and Silver-graded Britt Casey Jr., Dwyer finished more often behind than ahead. His 2017 season saw reduced activity with one podium across ten rounds before his retirement from racing.[2]
