Victor Shaitar competed in the World Endurance Championship across three seasons from 2016 to 2018, completing nine starts for SMP Racing. He scored a single podium finish during this period and operated within a professional endurance racing environment that featured some of the sport's strongest drivers. His average finishing position of 8.4 across all classified starts reflects a mid-field presence in a field dominated by experienced prototypes and GT competitors.[1]
Shaitar's competitive record against frequent rivals reveals a consistent pattern of being outpaced. He finished behind Platinum-graded champions such as Nicolas Lapierre and Filipe Albuquerque in every shared race, and similarly trailed Gold-graded champions Gustavo Menezes and Stéphane Richelmi in all seven encounters with each. His head-to-head record against Bruno Senna stood at one finish ahead to six behind across seven races, while Ho-Pin Tung was the only frequent rival against whom he held a marginal advantage with three finishes ahead. Shaitar did cross the line ahead of several significantly stronger drivers in individual races, including Platinum-graded champions Jean-Eric Vergne, Ryo Hirakawa, and Laurens Vanthoor, though these represented isolated results rather than sustained competitive patterns.
Shaitar retired from racing after his final WEC appearance in 2018, finishing 41st in a single-round entry. His career in professional endurance racing spanned a modest but genuine tenure at motorsport's professional tier, though the evidence suggests he consistently occupied the lower reaches of grids populated by established professionals and former champions.
