William Bamber is a competitive amateur, rated 2,755. This level represents the front of club racing and entry-level professional fields; drivers at this tier are quick and often race against paid professionals, though they typically operate in series below the top championships. Bamber's record on the international stage consists of a single World Endurance Championship start in 2019, when he competed for Dempsey - Proton Racing in the GTE Am category. He finished P6 in that outing, completing a race against a field that included several strong professionals and former champions.[1]

In that WEC appearance, Bamber finished ahead of Matt Campbell, an FIA Platinum-graded driver and two-time WEC LMGTE Am champion at that time, along with Riccardo Pera, Vincent Abril and Olivier Beretta, all Silver or Gold-graded professionals. This result represents a meaningful achievement against a considerably stronger field than his overall rating suggests he typically contests. Bamber has since moved to Lamborghini Super Trofeo North America, where recent headlines indicate he continues to race in sportscar competition. He is the brother of Earl Bamber.[2]
