Adam Hessel is a developing driver who raced in NASA, a national multiclass endurance championship in the United States. He competed in the GTS3 class, driving a BMW M3, for two seasons from 2016 to 2017.[1]
Across 14 starts in NASA, Hessel took one win and two podium finishes. He finished 30th in the championship standings in his final season of 2017. His record placed him mid-pack among the regulars in his class; he typically finished behind competitive amateurs such as Aaron Turek and fellow developing driver Foad Razavi, both of whom he raced frequently. He did finish ahead of Turek on two occasions and once beat Aristotle Balogh, an entry-level professional who has since raced extensively in IMSA Pilot Challenge and American Endurance Racing.[2]
