FIA Platinum Categorisation

Competition results

To qualify for Platinum categorisation, a driver must have finished in the top five of the general classification for an FIA Tier 1 championship. These include the Supercars Championship, FIA Formula 2, Formula E, IndyCar Series, Super Formula, and any other FIA World Championship.

Additionally, if a driver has been categorised previously, the following achievements would warrant a promotion to Platinum:

• Finishing on the podium in a Pro category of a major endurance race (24 Hours of Le Mans, 24 Hours of Daytona (GTP), 24 Hours of Spa, Nürburgring 24 Hours).
• Winning the FIA World Endurance Championship in the Hypercar category.
• Winning the IMSA SportsCar Championship in the GTP category.
• Winning the GT World Challenge Europe, Asia and America, and Pro category in a major endurance race.

Other requirements

Drivers who currently hold, or have previously held an FIA Super Licence, are automatically eligible for Platinum Categorisation. Performances and achievements may be considered as Platinum, despite not being covered by one of the definitions above, under the discretion of the FIA. Furthermore, no driver over 55 may be platinum categorised, with drivers being demoted to Gold Categorisation following their 55th birthday.
