Mark Sansom competed in sportscar and endurance racing as a Bronze-graded amateur driver between 2021 and 2024. His career comprised 25 starts across the British GT Championship and GT World Challenge Europe, primarily with Barwell Motorsport and Garage 59. He did not score wins or podiums across this period and finished with an average grid position of 14.5, positioning him in the lower half of the fields he raced in.[1]
Sansom's most frequent rivals included both full professional drivers and other amateurs at the national and international level. Against FIA Platinum-graded professionals such as Sandy Mitchell and Ian Loggie, both of whom were former champions, Sansom consistently finished behind them; he took 2 results ahead of Mitchell across 19 shared races and 2 ahead of Loggie across 15 shared races. He held a competitive head-to-head record against James Kell and Martin Plowman, fellow Silver and Bronze-graded drivers operating at the semi-professional tier, winning 8 of 19 encounters with Kell and 9 of 15 with Plowman. Isolated instances saw Sansom finish ahead of world-class drivers including Maro Engel, Charles Weerts, and Jake Dennis, all FIA Platinum professionals with major championships to their names, though these represented single results rather than patterns of competitive advantage. His career concluded in 2024.
