The GTM ”book club” reviews ’The Gentleman Driver’ - A documentary that follows four tycoons who moonlight as Motorsport competitors and examines what fuels them to succeed, both at work and on the track. Now, some of you might be thinking, this isn’t new, this particular film debuted in 2018. That’s true, and even then the content was from the 2015-16 WEC/LEMANS/IMSA season. But it happens to be new to us, as a “recommended to watch” by Netflix.
What is a “Gentleman Driver?” - The film frames the answer during the opening credits with a subtitle screen that reads “At the highest levels of sportscar racing, teams are required to include at least one amateur driver in their lineup. These men are often successful entrepreneurs who can afford to compete in this elite sport. They are known as Gentlemen drivers.”
