Philip Hanson is an established professional sportscar driver rated 6,143, placing him among professional-level racers in endurance and GT competition. His rating reflects a driver who competes consistently at the sharp end of international sportscar racing, though not yet in the elite tier occupied by championship-winning drivers at the very top. Hanson holds FIA Gold grading, the FIA's categorisation for full professionals in sportscar and endurance racing.[1]
Hanson's career centres on the World Endurance Championship, where he has made 51 starts since 2017 for AF Corse and scored 7 wins and 14 podiums. This remains his primary competitive platform. He has also raced in the European Le Mans Series, where he took 3 wins and 7 podiums across 16 starts between 2021 and 2023, and made brief outings in IMSA WeatherTech and Asian Le Mans. Across all series, his 78 starts have yielded 10 wins and 22 podiums, with an average classified finish of fifth position. His record against regular rivals shows a mixed competitive picture: he has a winning head-to-head against some (beating Ferdinand Habsburg and Paul-Loup Chatin in shared races, both former LMP2 champions) while facing losses to others, including Will Stevens and Charles Milesi, both FIA Platinum-graded drivers. Hanson has occasionally beaten significantly stronger drivers from other categories, notably Kenta Yamashita, a Super GT champion, across five meetings. His most recent WEC season in 2026 has not yet produced wins or podiums through four rounds.[2]
