🏳️ Chris Coffey

Chris Coffey is a semi-professional competitor rated 3,678, a level that describes drivers who win in pro-am and one-make classes and run mid-pack among full professionals. His record across six seasons and 34 starts shows an average finish of P2.5, with 16 wins and 25 podiums concentrated heavily in Trans-Am GT, where he has taken back-to-back championships in 2024 and 2025. His 15 wins from 23 Trans-Am starts represent sustained success in that series; his single start outside it that yielded a podium came in International GT in 2022.[1]

Coffey's competitive standing is clearest in his head-to-head record against rivals who share his field. He has beaten Colin Cohen, a much less experienced driver, in nine of ten meetings. Against stronger opposition, his record is mixed; he finished ahead of Michael Attaway, the 2023 Trans-Am GT champion and a semi-professional of similar standing, in four of five races, a meaningful advantage that underpins his own consecutive titles. He has also beaten the FIA Bronze-graded Billy Griffin three times and the professional Martin Sarukhanyan and Mark Boden once each, though these isolated results do not establish a pattern of consistent dominance at that level. Conversely, he has lost all seven head-to-head meetings with Lawson Crain and trails David Hampton, another FIA Bronze driver and semi-professional, three wins to one across four races.

Coffey remains active in Trans-Am in 2026, where he has scored two wins and five podiums through five rounds to lead the championship. His sustained success in Trans-Am GT, anchored by back-to-back titles, marks him as a front-runner in that one-make or pro-am environment, though his mixed record against the strongest semi-professional and professional drivers in his field suggests a ceiling at that level.
