Peter Dempsey is a Bronze-graded amateur competing in the 2026 World Endurance Championship LMGT3 class, driving a Corvette for Racing Team Turkey by TF. His career spans two decades of single-driver racing across American championships and now international sportscars; he is currently active at the professional level in terms of the calibre of competition, though his FIA categorisation places him among gentleman drivers rather than full professionals.[1]

His racing record began in 2008 with Star Mazda Championship, where he took nine wins and thirteen podiums across two seasons for Juncos Racing. He then moved to Indy NXT from 2011 to 2013 with Team Moore Racing, securing one win and seven podiums in twenty-six starts over three seasons. After a decade without indexed racing, he returned in 2025 with SCCA Regionals and has since moved into WEC; with four rounds of the 2026 season raced so far, he has taken one win and one podium in the LMGT3 class.[2]

The drivers he regularly competed against in his earlier career were professional-level entrants in Star Mazda and Indy NXT. He typically finished ahead of Jorge Goncalvez and David Ostella, both long-term competitors in those series, and at least twice beat Josef Newgarden, who would go on to become an established IndyCar champion. His current WEC grid includes Platinum-graded professionals and established champions across multiple disciplines.
