🏳️ Brett Cleer

Brett Cleer is a competitive amateur endurance racing driver with a Racer Rating of 1,951, placing him in the club racing band. This level describes drivers competing consistently at the front of club and regional fields. Cleer's entire recorded career spans American Endurance Racing from 2021 to 2026, a span of six seasons across 61 starts. He has won three championships in the series; Class 1 in 2021, then Class 3 in both 2024 and 2025. Across his career he has recorded 12 wins and 31 podiums, finishing on average in third position.[1]

Cleer's head-to-head record against his most frequent rivals reveals a mixed competitive picture. He has a losing record against Karsten Richards, a multiple-class champion in American Endurance Racing, finishing behind Richards in 12 of 20 shared races while ahead of him in 8. He has also lost more often than he has won against Azim Aliriza and Harry Sukumaran, both established endurance racers. However, Cleer has performed better against James Counterman and Cody Ace, themselves past Class 3 and Class 2 champions, winning the head-to-head count in both pairings; he finished ahead of Counterman 9 times to 5 losses and ahead of Ace 9 times to 4 losses. Most significantly, Cleer has beaten several drivers rated well above his level, including FIA Bronze-graded professionals Jeff Smith and Chad Gilsinger, though these victories have come individually and do not represent sustained patterns.

In his most recent season, 2026, Cleer maintained strong form with 2 wins and 3 podiums across 6 American Endurance Racing rounds, finishing first overall. This result underscores his consistency as a front-runner in his chosen series, where he has been a regular fixture in contention and a three-time class champion.
