amprovisation

there can't be many words that the Le Mans 24 Hours has given the English language, except perhaps vainquer, and this certainly won't be joining them anytime soon:

amprovis-ing, -ation, -er, -eur, (n.) (pr. say 'improvising'  w. pretend Fr. acc.) in the early stages of the race, the phenomenon of the PRO driver in an AM car running with the GTE-Pro pack; see also Campbell-Walter, Collard, Griffin, Hall, Vernay
