IMSA Pilot Challenge

Driver leaderboard, ranked by Racer Rating.211 drivers, 2025–2026 roster, strength of field 4,009

IMSA Pilot Challenge is an endurance GT and touring car series for production-based sports cars and TCR machines, with drivers sharing cars across races. The field combines established sportscar professionals with developing drivers; the GS class for GT4-level cars is notably stronger than the TCR class. Top drivers include Sammy Smith, Nolan Siegel and Philip Ellis. The series serves as a professional stepping stone between club and amateur racing and the higher-level IMSA WeatherTech Championship. Drivers arrive primarily from NASA and club racing, and move on most commonly to IMSA WeatherTech or peer GT4 and touring car series. The field is substantially weaker than IMSA WeatherTech but considerably stronger than its entry-point feeders.

Career paths

Where this grid came from and where it went, counted from the index rather than from anyone's published ladder. A driver is placed in a series at the season they first appear in it, so moves sideways and back down a rung are counted the same as moves up.
