Tristan Nunez is a professional endurance racing driver, FIA Gold-graded, who spent his indexed career in shared-car multiclass competition in IMSA WeatherTech and related series. He raced prototypes across the DPi, LMP2 and LMP3 classes for Performance Tech Motorsports and other entrants between 2014 and 2023, accumulating 73 starts in the championship. He is now retired.[1]
Nunez took two wins and twenty podiums across 73 IMSA starts, including a pair of appearances in the LMP3 class at Road to Le Mans in 2021. His career was built on steady work in the national pro-am grid rather than on a dominant record; he finished ahead of established professionals Ricky Taylor and Dane Cameron, both Platinum-graded multiple IMSA champions, but typically ran behind them in head-to-head racing. A single start in the 2010 SKUSA SuperNationals rounds out his formal record.[2]
The drivers Nunez raced most often in IMSA were top-tier professionals. He once finished ahead of Alex Palou, who would go on to win five IndyCar championships, and Marcus Ericsson, a Platinum-graded driver with extensive Formula 1 and IndyCar experience. These isolated results against elite competition stand out in an otherwise mid-pack record in a field that ranged from amateurs to graded professionals racing in the same multiclass environment.
