🏳️ Cody Ace

Cody Ace competed as a semi-professional endurance racing driver, operating at the competitive amateur level with a Racer Rating of 2,082. His 12-season career between 2015 and 2026 unfolded entirely within American Endurance Racing, where he accumulated 92 starts, 18 wins, and 45 podiums; his average finishing position of fourth place reflects consistency across that span. He won two championships in the series: Class 3 in 2016 and Class 2 in 2020, demonstrating progression within the endurance framework over his first five years.[1]

Ace's record against his regular rivals tells a mixed story across amateur and lower professional fields. Against peer-level competitors, he held winning head-to-head records: he finished ahead of Benny Chong in 17 of 21 meetings and ahead of Paul Wooding in 15 of 20. Against Panagiotitheodorakopoulos, a Class 3 champion at a similar rating, the contests were split evenly across 21 races. He showed mixed results against Michael Hurczyn, a significantly stronger FIA-graded Silver driver and two-time class champion, dropping 12 of their 19 meetings. Ace occasionally raced against established professionals and found success sporadically: he beat FIA Bronze driver Aristotle Balogh three times and Silver-rated Mike Skeen once, though these remained isolated results rather than established patterns.[2]

His most recent activity in 2026 shows continued participation but diminished output; three podiums across five rounds left him fourth in points at season's end and marked a step back from his stronger performances in the championship-winning years. His career has been defined by endurance racing competence in the American series rather than progression into broader or more prestigious competition.
