🇷🇺 Victor Shaytar

Victor Shaytar is a professional racing driver competing in multiclass endurance championships. He races GT3 and prototype machinery in the WEC and the 24H Series for SMP Racing and Winward Racing, sharing cars with co-drivers across seasons of international competition.[1]

Shaytar took three wins and six podiums across ten WEC starts between 2015 and 2016, racing LMP2 prototypes and GTE cars for SMP Racing. He has since competed in the 24H Series from 2021 onwards, a multiclass endurance grid spanning thirteen countries, where he has taken two podiums from five starts in GT3 machinery. His record across both series totals three wins from fifteen starts.[2]

In endurance racing that mixes amateur and professional graded drivers on the same grid, Shaytar typically finishes ahead of FIA Silver-graded professionals including Marco Seefried and Stuart Hall, both regular opponents in the WEC and 24H Series. He has also finished ahead of established professionals: Earl Bamber, an IMSA WeatherTech GTLM champion who has contested the WEC extensively, and Sergey Sirotkin, a former Formula 1 driver with significant experience in junior single-seaters.
