🇩🇪 Charles Ford

Charles Ford is a semi-professional racing in NASA, a national multiclass sprint championship held in the USA that fields amateurs and professionals on the same grid. He races a BMW 325is, competing across NASA's Spec3 class for spec 1993-1995 machines and the GTS3 class for German sports cars. His primary team fields the 325is, an established operation with a strong win record across the series.[1]

Ford has 45 starts across eight indexed seasons from 2016 to 2026, with 25 wins and 34 podiums. He finished second in the 2023 NASA championship and leads the 2026 season so far, though that campaign is still in progress. His record shows consistent performance in a field mixing competitive amateurs with graded professionals. Against his regular opponents he is closely matched with Jon McAvoy, another competitive amateur with over 100 NASA starts, and typically finishes ahead of Taylor Johnson, a comparable competitor. He has beaten Alex Rubenstein, a three-time American Endurance Racing Class 4 champion with 130 starts in that series alone, six times across their meetings.[2]
