Morphology
The meaning 'a person who drives racing cars' is directly and compositionally derived from 'race' (a contest) + 'driver' (a person who drives): a driver who participates in races. This noun+noun composition and the concept of a driver competing in races is cross-linguistically common and would be readily understood by a B1 learner who knows both constituents (even if 'racing driver' is the more usual collocation).
Etymology
Race driver is a compound of race (a competition to be fastest) and driver (someone who drives a car), giving a clear picture of a person who 'races' in a car. So it means a person who drives racing cars in speed competitions.
