🇨🇦 Paul Dalla Lana

Paul Dalla Lana is a Canadian driver whose motorsport career developed as an amateur alongside his business and philanthropic pursuits, a path that later brought him attention as one of the subjects of the documentary "The Gentleman Driver". Competing in the World Endurance Championship with Northwest AMR, Dalla Lana built a record over 14 career starts that includes one win and four podium finishes, though he has not claimed a championship title. His status is now listed as retired, closing out a career built on the amateur, or gentleman driver, model within top-level sports car racing.[1]

In his final campaign in 2026, Dalla Lana appeared in two rounds with Northwest AMR, recording no wins or podiums and finishing P100 in the standings. His Racer Rating stands at 2,535, placing him 1310th among active drivers on a scale where the sport's elite reach figures of 10,000 to 11,500, a reflection of his standing as a dedicated amateur rather than a full-time professional. Across his time in the WEC, Dalla Lana's participation, including his single career victory and podium tally, marks him as a notable example of the gentleman driver category within endurance racing.[2]
