🏳️ Bill Baten

Bill Baten is a club-level amateur racer with a Racer Rating of 1,030, placing him in the developing category; this represents a driver with minimal racing experience and results that do not yet demonstrate consistent competitiveness in established fields. His recorded racing career spans a single season in 2020, with one start at the SCCA Runoffs, where he finished fifth in his class. This one appearance represents his sole competitive record on file.[1]

In that single outing, Baten finished ahead of several drivers with stronger track records, including FIA Bronze graded Christina Lam and FIA Silver graded Andrew Aquilante, both of whom are semi-professional competitors with ratings in the 2,900s. He also out-finished Paolo Salvatore and Timothy Rubright. However, a single result against stronger drivers carries limited weight in assessing a driver's true standing, particularly when the driver's only other finishes are unknown or unclassified. The depth of his competitive experience is too shallow to sustain any meaningful pattern of achievement.

Baten is now retired from racing. Press coverage from 2015 and 2019 indicates he was active in motorsport during those years, though no detailed results from those efforts appear in this database. His brief documented campaign in 2020 appears to have marked the end of his competitive racing.
