🏳️ Brandon Lemke

Brandon Lemke is a semi-professional kart racer with a Racer Rating of 3,581, placing him among competitive drivers racing at the club and regional level; his record shows consistent mid-field finishes among amateur and semi-professional fields rather than the sustained wins needed to advance further. His racing on record spans twelve years, from 2013 to 2025, but comprises only nine starts, all at the SKUSA SuperNationals, the sport's flagship invitational event. That sparse record reflects a part-time commitment to the series' most prestigious stage rather than a full seasonal programme; across those appearances he has secured one victory and one additional podium, with an average finishing position of eleventh.[1]

Lemke's competitive standing emerges from his head-to-head record against rivals in his class. He has split races evenly with Jake Drew, a driver rated slightly above him, and holds a winning record against Oliver Calvo, who sits at similar strength. Against the small number of significantly stronger drivers he has encountered, he has occasionally outrun them: he has beaten David Malukas, an established professional rated more than three thousand points higher, once in a shared race; he has also finished ahead of Neil Verhagen and Alessandro Ghiretti, both FIA Gold graded champions, and Christian Brooks, an FIA Silver graded professional, each on a single occasion. These isolated results represent the kind of day-to-day variance that occurs in any competitive field rather than evidence of sustained performance above his rating.

Most recent activity shows Lemke competing at the 2025 SuperNationals without podium finishes in the single round completed to date. The pattern of his career indicates a driver who returns periodically to karting's highest-profile event without establishing a permanent presence in top-tier competition.
