🏳️ Azim Aliriza

Aliriza holds a Racer Rating of 1,548, placing him in the club racing band; this driver competes at a level of club, regional, and vintage racing with limited representation among full professionals. His career spans seven seasons entirely within American Endurance Racing from 2020 to 2026, accumulating 58 starts across which he has won 15 races and finished on the podium 31 times. His average finishing position of P3.5 reflects consistent performance in the field, though his most recent season in 2026 yielded only one podium across six rounds with a finishing position of P7, suggesting a decline from earlier form.[1]

Aliriza's competitive record shows a mixed picture against the drivers who have been his most frequent rivals. Against Brett Cleer, a three-time American Endurance Racing class champion, Aliriza holds a clear advantage with 13 wins to 5 losses across 18 shared races. He has also beaten David Gausman in five of 15 shared outings; Gausman holds three class championships in the same series. Against higher-rated rivals such as Thomas Lee, a back-to-back champion of American Endurance Racing Class 2 in 2024 and 2025, Aliriza trails with 9 wins to 10 losses in their 19 encounters. His head-to-head record against Shawn Dewey and Iain Barber, both stronger-rated drivers, similarly tilts toward the negative. On single occasions, he has defeated Tommy Byrne, a driver rated significantly higher at the established professional level.

Aliriza's two championships, both in American Endurance Racing, came in Class 1 in 2022 and Class 2 in 2023. These victories in their respective classes represent his career's strongest achievements, though the rating and the contemporary head-to-head records suggest that while capable of winning in competitive endurance fields, he operates at the lower end of professional motorsport and lacks the consistency to challenge the strongest drivers in the series regularly.
