Sameer Gandhi raced in IMSA national multiclass endurance championships between 2019 and 2023, competing in shared-car and solo GT4 machinery. He made 11 starts across the Pilot Challenge and VP Racing SportsCar Challenge series for CarBahn with Peregrine Racing, the latter a small operation that has fielded 13 drivers and won twice in the indexed record. Gandhi holds an FIA Bronze grade, the amateur classification in endurance racing.[1]
His racing spanned five seasons with limited frequency; the longest run came in the Pilot Challenge, where he started nine times in four years. He finished 22nd in the VP Racing SportsCar Championship standings in 2023 after two rounds. Across both series he faced a consistent field that mixed amateurs with graded professionals. His regular opponents included Tim Probert, a competitive amateur and fellow Bronze-graded driver, with whom he was closely matched, and Gregory Liefooghe, an entry-level professional on the step above, who usually finished ahead of him. Gandhi finished ahead of established professionals Russell Ward and Philip Ellis once each, both multiple-time IMSA WeatherTech GTD champions, though one-off results in a multiclass endurance field reflect opportunity and circumstance as much as comparative pace.[2]
