Christine Sloss

Christine Sloss is a competitive American racing driver who transitioned from Silicon Valley success to the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge, where she’s built a reputation for steady improvement and smart racecraft in the GS Bronze class.

EARLY YEARS

Born May 30, 1968, Christine grew up in Marblehead, Massachusetts, where her drive and determination were evident early. She knew what she wanted out of life from childhood, when her parents borrowed money to send her to college—a decision that clearly paid dividends. After attending Suffolk University, she carved out a successful career in Silicon Valley before discovering her passion for motorsports. Her racing journey officially began on February 16, 2018, proving that it’s never too late to chase speed.

OTHER INTERESTS

When she’s not behind the wheel, Christine embraces the finer things that come with success. She daily drives a Rolls-Royce Dawn—because why not make every commute special? Her garage reads like a Ferrari enthusiast’s dream, featuring a 458 Challenge, an FXX K (a birthday gift from her husband, Google executive Benjamin Sloss), and an SF90 XX Spider. She’s also proven herself outside traditional circuit racing, claiming victory at the fourth annual Corkscrew Hillclimb at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca in August 2025.

EARLY SUCCESS

Christine’s entry into competitive motorsports began with Ferrari Challenge events, where she honed her skills in her trusty 458 Challenge. Her progression was methodical—lapping Road America and achieving her first 1:30 lap at Laguna Seca became milestones worth celebrating. When she made the jump to IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge in 2024, racing alongside her husband Ben in the #10 Van der Steur Racing entry, she immediately showed she belonged. Her debut at Daytona secured second in the Bronze Cup—not bad for a first outing in one of America’s premier sports car series.

REPUTATION

Sloss has earned respect for her clean, consistent driving style and genuine year-over-year improvement. Her 2025 sophomore season in IMPC showed significant growth from her rookie campaign, with multiple victories and pole positions demonstrating she’s not just participating—she’s competing at the front of the Bronze class. She’s known for handling traffic well, executing smart restarts, and maintaining composure in the chaos of sports car racing. Racing alongside Ben in the #15 Aston Martin Vantage GT4 for Van der Steur Racing (with backing from MHP Peters), she’s proven that husband-wife teams can be seriously quick. Her progression from Ferrari Challenge to podiums in IMSA speaks to her dedication and natural talent behind the wheel.

Christine continues campaigning in the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge with Van der Steur Racing in 2025 and 2026, targeting the GS Bronze class championship. With multiple wins under her belt and consistent front-running pace, she’s positioned herself as a genuine title contender.
