Chris Petersen raced at club level in NASA, a national multiclass championship mixing amateur and semi-professional drivers. He competed in the GTS3 class, which runs single-driver German sports cars, primarily BMWs and Porsches, over eight seasons from 2014 to 2022.[1]
Petersen made 27 starts across his indexed record and took two wins and fourteen podiums. He was most active in the middle years of his racing; his final indexed season in 2022 saw him enter one round and finish twentieth in the championship standings.[2]
Against the regular field in GTS3, Petersen typically ran behind Luiz Serva, a semi-professional with over seventy NASA starts, but ahead of Eyal Adler, a developing driver also competing in the series. He beat Serva once and had two wins over Chad Waddell, a competitive amateur with extensive BMW CCA Club Racing experience. His fourteen podiums across twenty-seven starts placed him as a consistent mid-field competitor in a class that drew both amateurs finding their pace and more seasoned drivers working their way through the multiclass grid.
