A couple examples good and bad of "gentleman drivers"
Trackspeed Porsche GT3 RSR (FIA GT Series)
David Ashburn - Gentleman driver
Sascha Massen - Porsche Factory Driver
Flying Lizard Motorsports GT3 RSR (Le Mans)
Seth Neiman - gentleman
Joerg Bermeister - Porsche Factory Driver
Darren Law - Professional
Both fairly prominent teams in big races. They usually start the pros and begin very competitive and slowly fall into the pack although there are exceptions as the people above me have listed.
two exceptions are
Raymond Narac, and Johannes Van Overbeek
I hope that helps, and at least makes a little sense.
