Christian Hodneland is a competitive amateur racing driver with a Racer Rating of 2,511, placing him in the club racing band; this level describes drivers who race competitively at club and regional level in fields that do not meet professional standards. Hodneland has completed four seasons in the Whelen Mazda MX-5 Cup presented by Michelin from 2023 to 2026, accumulating 32 starts with no wins or podium finishes. He races for BSI Racing and averages a finishing position of P21.3 across classified results, indicating consistent mid-field running in a single-make series.[1]
Hodneland's head-to-head record against his most frequent rivals reveals the calibre of competition he faces. Against Jared Thomas, an FIA Silver graded professional and three-time champion, Hodneland finished ahead in 5 of 32 races but trailed him in 27. Against Jeremy Fletcher, a one-time champion, he has 7 wins against 25 losses in 32 encounters. Similar patterns characterize his records against other established professionals in the field, including Gresham Wagner and Nate Cicero, both FIA Silver graded drivers, and Nathan Nicholson, all significantly stronger competitors. Isolated instances show Hodneland capable of outrunning elite-level drivers; he has finished ahead of Connor Zilisch twice, an FIA Gold graded professional and former champion, and single occasions saw him beat Robert Noaker and Sebastien Bourdais, both established professionals, and Ben Keating, a four-time FIA Bronze graded champion. These results are individual race performances rather than patterns, typical of a mid-field competitor occasionally catching stronger runners on a given day. Hodneland remains active in 2026.
