RENEE GRACIE Scores P5 in GT World Challenge ProAm Debut at Hampton Downs

November 8, 2025

• After dominating the Am class championship, RENEE GRACIE stepped up to ProAm competition at Hampton Downs and immediately proved she belonged there. Starting fifth in challenging drizzle conditions, she gained position early and held her ground against seasoned competition, showing the racecraft that made her an Am champion wasn’t just beating up on lesser drivers.
• The weekend showcased both GRACIE’s wheel-to-wheel skills and her partnership with co-driver Damon Leitch, who delivered spectacular overtaking including a dramatic two-wheels-airborne move that had the paddock talking. Their fifth-place finish proved GRACIE’s readiness for the step up, though Sunday’s early crash reminder that ProAm racing doesn’t give anyone a free pass.
• GRACIE’s own words captured what this moment meant: “I’ve been waiting for this all year, to have a pro-am run and to actually show everyone what I’m made of with a good pro in the car.” After a season of proving herself in Am, this ProAm debut delivered exactly what she promised – evidence that her championship wasn’t a fluke but a stepping stone to bigger things.
