Caleb Bacon is a semi-professional driver rated 3,038, placing him in the competitive amateur band; drivers at this level win in pro-am and one-make classes and hold mid-pack positions against full professionals. Bacon holds an FIA Silver categorisation, denoting professional-level standing within endurance and sportscar racing, though typically among younger or early-career drivers. Across seven seasons from 2020 to 2026, he has made 37 starts without a championship, recording one win in the Lamborghini Super Trofeo NA one-make series in 2022 and finishing on average in 14th place.[1]
Bacon's primary experience comes from Trans-Am TA2, where he has made 22 starts without wins or podiums. His head-to-head record in that series against fellow full-time competitors has been mixed; he finished ahead of Rafa Matos, the 2021 and 2024 TA2 champion, on four occasions across 22 races but trailed him 18 times, and he posted a losing record of 4 wins to 17 losses against Thomas Merrill, the 2022 TA2 champion. Against semi-professional and club-level drivers such as Barry Boes and Tom Sheehan, he has held a small advantage. His single victory came in the one-make Lamborghini series for Forty7 Motorsports, a team that has fielded 54 drivers across the database and counts Kyle Kirkwood, an elite professional, among its roster. In endurance racing through IMSA Pilot Challenge, Bacon made seven starts for Victor Gonzalez Racing without finishing in the points. Most recently, he contested the Whelen Mazda MX-5 Cup in 2024 without results.
