Colton Herta is an American racing driver competing for Hitech TGR in the FIA Formula 2 Championship. Before moving into Formula 2, he built his reputation in North American open-wheel competition, racing in the IndyCar Series from 2018 to 2025 with backing that has since extended to support from Cadillac. Across a career spanning 169 starts in the record, Herta has amassed 18 wins and 44 podium finishes, though he has yet to secure a championship title. His Racer Rating of 4,786 places him 294th among active drivers on the Elo-style scale, reflecting a solid but not elite standing relative to the world's top performers, who typically sit between 10,000 and 11,500.[1]

In the 2026 season, Herta remains active with Hitech TGR, currently sitting 16th in the Formula 2 standings after 17 rounds. He has recorded two podium finishes so far this season but has not yet claimed a race win. As he continues his transition from IndyCar into single-seater competition in Europe, Herta's career remains a work in progress, with his extensive racing background and podium consistency suggesting continued development at the Formula 2 level.[2]
