🇬🇧 Seb Priaulx

Seb Priaulx is a British racing driver competing at professional level in sportscar and endurance racing. His Racer Rating of 4,872 places him among professional drivers; this is the level of a national championship front-runner or a driver competing regularly at the sharp end of a strong feeder series. The FIA has graded him Gold, denoting a full professional within GT and endurance racing. His career spans nine seasons and 101 starts from 2018 to 2026, concentrated in sportscar categories where he has accumulated 15 wins and 36 podiums.[1]

Priaulx's racing has been defined by IMSA competition; he holds 30 starts in the WeatherTech Championship for Ford Racing since 2022, yielding 4 wins and 10 podiums, while also running the WEC hypercar programme for Proton Competition from 2022 through 2026 with 2 wins across 10 starts. His breakthrough came in 2021 in the Porsche Carrera Cup NA, where he won 6 of 16 races for Kelly-Moss Road and Race and finished on the podium in 13 of them; that success secured his championship. His head-to-head record against concurrent rivals shows competitive rather than dominant performance. Against Madison Snow, a three-time Gold-graded champion, Priaulx has held the edge, finishing ahead 15 times to 12. He has comfortably outpaced Dylan Murry over 27 shared races, 20 ahead to 7. Against Kiern Jewiss, Jewiss's Gold rating and title notwithstanding, Priaulx has prevailed 19 times to 8. However, he has trailed Jack Doohan, a Platinum-graded driver rated substantially higher at 6,600, finishing behind in 16 of 28 races. He has been beaten by three-time champion Dennis Hauger as well, though less decisively, 16 times to 10. Priaulx has on occasion finished ahead of much stronger drivers such as Kyle Kirkwood (6,922 rating, three-time Platinum champion), defeating him 6 times, and Maro Engel (6,736 rating, Platinum-graded champion), twice, though these remain isolated results rather than patterns of dominance.[2]

Priaulx's recent activity shows his career trajectory toward the highest levels of sportscar racing. In 2026 he completed a four-round WEC campaign without wins or podiums and has been confirmed as a driver in the Ford Multimatic Hypercar programme for 2027, with stated ambitions toward a Le Mans victory. His professional status is secured by sustained employment at this level, but his ratings and results reflect a driver firmly in the professional tier rather than among the elite competitors who dominate these categories.
