FIA Drivers' Categorisation (Platinum)
The FIA Drivers' Categorisation is a system created by Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile that lists drivers on the basis of their achivements and performances. This categorization is used in sports car racing championships as FIA World Endurance Championship, United SportsCar Championship, European Le Mans Series, etc. It was merged from the FIA WEC and FIA GT3 lists. The initial categorisation is based on the driver's age and his career record.[1]
