Ben Keating is a Bronze-graded amateur competing in professional multiclass endurance racing. He races DPi prototypes and GT3 cars in IMSA WeatherTech, his primary series, alongside campaigns in the FIA World Endurance Championship in GT3 machinery for TF Sport. His career spans 14 seasons from 2012 onwards, running to 150 starts across national and international grids that mix semi-professional and amateur drivers with graded professionals.[1]

Keating has won four championships: IMSA WeatherTech titles in 2016 with Riley Motorsports and 2021 with PR1 Mathiasen Motorsports, and consecutive WEC titles in 2022 and 2023 with TF Sport. His record across all series stands at 25 wins and 49 podiums. In IMSA WeatherTech alone he has 96 starts yielding 15 wins and 28 podiums; in WEC he has 44 starts with 9 wins and 18 podiums. He has also raced in the 24H Series, Le Mans Cup, and two endurance rounds in 2026, including a return to the 24 Hours of Le Mans.[2]

Keating runs closely with established professionals in his regular fields. He has been closely matched with Andy Lally, a FIA Gold professional with extensive NASCAR and IMSA experience, and with Cooper MacNeil, a FIA Silver professional racing IMSA and WEC. He has finished ahead of Alex Palou, a four-time IndyCar champion, and Kyle Kirkwood, an IndyCar regular and 2021 Indy NXT champion, in their meetings. His most consistent home has been with Riley Motorsports and later TF Sport, teams that field drivers of comparable standing to his own.
