🇨🇭 Lilian Bryner

Lilian Bryner was an established professional racing driver from Switzerland who competed in the FIA GT Championship between 1997 and 2005. She drove for Larbre Compétition and Care Racing Development in a shared-driver endurance format, racing against a field that mixed amateurs, semi-professionals and graded professionals in the same series. Her rating of 4,806 reflects a driver who competed consistently at the professional level over nearly a decade.[1]

Across 37 starts in the FIA GT Championship, Bryner took one win and eleven podium finishes. She scored a championship point in 2005, her final season, when she finished 13th in the standings across three rounds. Throughout her career she regularly outpaced entry-level professional drivers and held a winning head-to-head record against Stéphane Ortelli, a FIA Gold-graded professional who has raced in the FIA GT Championship, GT World Challenge Europe and the World Touring Car Championship. She also beat established professionals Alex Caffi, who had competed in Formula 1, and Johnny Herbert, a former Formula 1 driver with 162 starts in the championship.[2]

Bryner's best results came in the endurance format that defined the series, where driver consistency and car reliability across multi-hour races were central to success. The strength of her record against graded professionals and Formula 1 drivers despite competing in a mixed amateur field marks her as a capable performer in endurance racing across the GT era.
